wowzz Posted March 3, 2022 #586 Share Posted March 3, 2022 So, 20 empty days before the next scheduled cruise. Do you think they might try and slip in a quick jaunt to the Canaries and back, at a bargain price ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted March 4, 2022 Author #587 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I tried to felt a budgie. I failed. Am down for a macramé class tomorrow. We've clocks going forward tonight and LFT first thing. Should be fun! WiFi still unpredictable, can't upload pics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing - or could do 3x5 day cruises in that time and have a few days breather. Around the uk ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzgal Posted March 4, 2022 #589 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I sincerely hope they won’t do anything in that time frame. Surely it would be more sensible to have a complete break, give the crew the chance to isolate and recover from Covid and deep clean the ship! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the nature of Covid, a deep clean is not required, but a 7 day break for the crew would certainly be beneficial. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted March 4, 2022 Author #591 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Day 44 / 67 Day 11 Ponta Delgada - Horta - Horta Sea day Good morning and thanks for following. WiFi continues to be a bit broken, photos still not welcome. Misty day out. Honestly feeling deflated. But not defeated. Met Commodore Inga Kennedy last night at dinner. Excited to attend her talk about her life in the British Navy later. Edited March 4, 2022 by NorbertsNiece 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosapphire Posted March 4, 2022 #592 Share Posted March 4, 2022 NN - I have been following your blog with interest, and wondering if you are a trained or professional speaker/writer? You have a rare ability to sum up, and make interesting, a whole scene in just two or three words. (I misread your felt budgie as feel budgie - first thought was, oooh - nasty peck there. Then I put my glasses back on). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NorbertsNiece Posted March 4, 2022 Author #595 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Just overheard in queue for LFT testing. Words to the effect ..... you tested positive yesterday you must stay in your room. 🤦♀️ Line ahead of me unhappy regarding disinfecting of chairs sat in and PPE of medic who performed LFT on the couple. Testing paused. Medic's PPE removed and she's seated waiting on a new set. We were offered the opportunity to DIY but declined. Now tested and back in room.

Rare NorbertsNiece Posted March 4, 2022 Author #600 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Captain's update. Horta pilot station 0700 tomorrow. Fuel, crew and provisions being taken on board then full speed for Southampton. 6 crew tested Covid positive today so a total of 62 out of action. 23 guests tested positive today = 126 currently infected. The wearing of masks was stressed. Again. I was hoping that testing when no symptoms would be ceased. He didn't say whether he'd be broadcasting again today. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
