My sister call to drop off my birthday present which she told me to open because she was thinking of us cruising and purchased something useful to take with me, a shopping bag and an umbrella . i am hoping that I dont need the umbrella and DH told her that she should not buy shopping bags because that is encouraging me to look in shops and he hates shopping on holiday He did say that he agreed with the wording on them 🤣 Have a love cruise.

Might be worth checking nearer the time Interesting. The captain said this morning that he's made excellent progress since leaving Lisbon yesterday and we have a tail wind, so we shall see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather forecast for tomorrow is awful, which is why Sky decided to make a run for Southampton and arrive a day early. I wonder why Iona did not do the same.

The weather forecast for tomorrow is awful, which is why Sky decided to make a run for Southampton and arrive a day early. I wonder why Iona did not do the same. I meant it quite literally when I said ‘interesting’. As in, the Captain reporting the positives whilst still urging caution around the ship when reporting that conditions will deteriorate (my word not his, he spoke of increase of swell etc). I guess he has a decision to make about how much to “share” for not wishing to worry people. I had a full lunch today thinking that it just might be the last time I leave my Iona (mid ship) cabin until Southampton! When you first reported the news about Sky Princess missing ports to dock in Southampton 2 mornings ago, I did wonder why we weren’t doing the same and said I hoped it wasn’t because of Gary Barlow being due on board. DH assured me that the Captain would not have included that in his decision making. Hmmmm 🙄 ….. 🤞 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
