CRUISIN LINDA Posted November 19, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2012 The Majesty is in Funchal today :) http://www.madeira-web.com/camera/cam-04.html Looks nice and sunny, not like here - no sun and bitter cold wind :( Not a very good view of her. It will be better when the big German ship goes at 1600hrs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRUISIN LINDA Posted November 19, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hampsters, Dave? :confused: Oh I have found it :) Quote: Originally Posted by klfhngr Because of loss of revenue from West Coast Cruisers, RCI had to replace the engines with huge hamsters....... No more vibration, but you might get some scratching noises.. Yes but that means the ship will only cruise at night with the hamsters being so nocturnal!:confused: How far will you get when the hamsters are dozing off all day!!

davecttr Posted November 19, 2012 #7 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Thomson use mini versions complete with little clogs sourced from renewable forests. They breed them on the Canaries but as they only last a couple of days before you need a fresh batch they can only use them on that itinery. Have you not noticed all those tasty savoury snacks? recycled Hampsters ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
