Woke up at 8.00am and looked out of the window at a restless and choppy Irish Sea. There was no sign of any land in sight, and my phone was still on the ‘Telenor Maritime’ network. At least there was no rush; we didn’t have to be out of the cabin until eleven o’clock. After…
Friday, 25 February 2022 Woke up to the depressing realisation that the holiday we had looked forward to for so long was looking a bit sick now. In 48 hours we’d be on the road for home. 🙁 Nonetheless, we were still on board, and we determined to enjoy our time on this lovely ship….
