Shetland is on our itinerary, hope we get the same weather.

Our tickets and luggage labels arrived today in timely fashion for our cruise, which sails on 28th August (bank holiday Monday)

Our boarding time is 10.40am! When we went on Magellan, we had a boarding time of noon, so I was hoping for similar, so this is much better.

Cubie, I believe that picture is Magellan not Columbus.

Actually its the former Carnival Holiday, the second new build for them, clearly in its day it must have been top notch since Carnival's growth in the 80's and 90's was explosive.

Just back from Columbus today and we had a very enjoyable cruise.

I will do a report in due course. I would book again - however there was a feature of this cruise that would probably be an insurmountable issue for some.

PS Plumbing worked perfectly !

Well those two words could endear or exactly the opposite. If the code is string vests for dinner I'm out!
