Well the rumour mill is working overtime regarding our missed port of Dublin!! The Captain said it was due to strong winds but that was a bit difficult to accept as it was quite calm outside. We were supposed to have 15 hours there so everyone is wondering why we could not have "hung around" for a couple of hours to see if the weather improved. The latest theory is that Princess had forgot to book a berth at the dock!! Anyway the hard luck stories are really sad....one couple on their honeymoon, the guy hopped off at Southampton to visit family then was flying to Dublin to catch the ship!!!..another poor lady boarded in Southampton and her sister was meeting her at Dublin with all the luggage...no clothes till Boston so I gave her some clothes to wear till then....we had The Beatles Celebration group who were due to leave us in Dublin...they are still on hurrah as they are great but they were due at various functions and many many more people are in the same predicament. So our Captain is not a popular man at the moment. There will be no compensation on this missed port as it was due to a "safety" reason. However we are just moving on and not letting it get to us. We now have USA to look forward to. The weather is lousy too but every day should get a little better we hope.
Today we had a game of table tennis, and watched a couple of movies.
