FannyLiz Posted November 3, 2023 Author #76 Share Posted November 3, 2023 10 minutes ago, Glad Bailey said: On SOD at present Captain’s latest announcement,as La Coruna is closed we are pressing on to the Bay of Biscay,but should keep ahead of upcoming storm. Should be bumpy though. He hasn’t said if we are going direct back to Portsmouth or stopping somewhere else. Spending more time in cabin than usual but they are still putting on shows and lectures in theatre. Good to hear from the horse’s mouth Glad. Safe journey and hope you are not too affected by it. I think there are an awful lot of people who will be glad to see you safely berthed in Portsmouth, whatever day you get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad Bailey Posted November 4, 2023 #89 Share Posted November 4, 2023 If we are heading straight back to Portsmouth I don’t see how it can take until 05.00 on Tuesday 7th. All in good time the captain will let us know 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad Bailey Posted November 4, 2023 #94 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Captain just gave us a weather update. Conditions overnight we’re worse than forecast but as we move further into Bay of Biscay wind speed should ease. Seems we are making direct for Portsmouth 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FannyLiz Posted November 4, 2023 Author #95 Share Posted November 4, 2023 SoA still in Falmouth with a shore excursion to Pendennis Castle, Truro and local gardens arranged.

Medeba Posted November 4, 2023 #96 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Have just read on other social media about the Adventure's revised itinerary: Leaving Falmouth today (Saturday 4 November) A Coruna 6 (evng) & 7 November Vigo 8 November Leixoes (Porto) 9 November Lisbon 10 November (back on original itinerary) Portsmouth 13 November As FannyLiz says free shore excursions have been arranged from Falmouth (quite a feat given the circumstances). Someone also mentioned some form of compensation but had no details. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steward told us that our cabin had been 'trashed' by the storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
