QV alteration

[exlondoner]

I thought QV was going to Stavanger today, but she seems to be passing and going straight to Skoldjen. Is this weather related?

Looking at Cruisemapper, she seems to be half way between Haugesund and Bergen in gale force conditions and high seas. 🌊🌊🌊

If I were a passenger, I should be wishing I were safely docked in Stavanger - or anywhere really.

That's were the problems can start. Think QM2 last week

It looks like all three of the cruise ships that were scheduled to call at Stavanger today are headed elsewhere. AIDAdiva arrived at Bergen a bit after noon local time today instead, Viking Venus is bypassing Stavanger to proceed to her next scheduled stop at Oslo tomorrow and QV is bypassing Stavanger to proceed to her next stop at Skjolden (rescheduled from Flaam some months ago).

It’s a shame that Flam is no longer open to most? cruise ships. Offering a scenic village with amenities to walk round and mostly for us, the weather was very pleasant. Unlike Olden where it was always cold and VERY wet. 💦☔️

Plenty of ships in Flam this year. I visited at the end of June on P&O Britannia.

Definitely a bit rough.  Wave heights 4-5 meters.

North Atlantic looks equally rough too on Vendusky app. Yikes!

Yes I had family on the cruise and it was due to the weather.  By all accounts it wasn't a pleasant experience and on the last day they came down with Covid.
