Adonia Here We Come

[david63]

Etickets, or at least ours, have been updated with the terminal information

[Whynd1]

Still no terminal for us

Our berth and terminal are now finally showing on our tickets, out of the QE terminal and back in at the Mayflower.

Less than two weeks now, really looking forward to being on the Adonia.

Adonia is almost home, due into Portland on the 14th for two days for a quick paint and wash and brush up. Contractors are sailing back on her getting the insides ready for those on D708. Currently just north of the Azores.

No webcam but the old girl is safely in Portland for her wash and brush up !

And to padlock the bar prior to your booze cruise

[Whynd1]

Nearly all packed for my early departure on Friday. As my travel agent does not do the travel for cruises 11 nights or less I have taken the free coach, so will be giving interested cruises a try.

I've just checked and they are currently cleaning under your bed, Lindsey - who knows what the Yanks may have left there ?!

An earlier post cast some doubt on the seamanship of Sarah Breton. I would like to say that she is one of the better Captains and most approachable that we have sailed with although I did overhear one gentleman while we were docked in Tallin saying that he slept wearing his life Jacket! I'm sorry that she is not on my next cruise on 25th August to the Med.

[Mervyn and Trish]

She seems popular and her seamanship seems to have earned praise for the way she handled a recent rescue. I'd be very happy to sail with her.

I agree, Colin. She is the butt of a few jokes and, unlike you, we have found her customer relations prowess leaves a bit to be desired but there is no doubt she is an excellent Captain. I am pleased she will be in charge on our forthcoming July sojourn

[Mervyn and Trish]

But before that Cubie get the red carpet out. We'll be there to visit you soon.

[qbman1]

I'm out of town that day.

When are you coming ?

[Mervyn and Trish]

Don't worry. It'll be a lovely surprise.

[Jan Rosser]

Don't worry. It'll be a lovely surprise.

I tried that Merv a few weeks ago - you'll be lucky to get past the electric gates and fencing at Cubie Towers

[Mervyn and Trish]

I'm going disguised as a lovely bunny. They always get in

Don't worry. It'll be a lovely surprise.

A bit like dysentery

The old uniform coming out again Merv.

[qbman1]

She's home !!

No flag on her bow - I wonder why not, is she just too small? Great to see her home.

[qbman1]

Looks like the flag is there, Carole - just not showing up on the first photo

...and here she is passing Azura

[david63]

At least she has not had the "new" logo splashed across her bow!

[qbman1]

I quite like it on the larger ships of the fleet but I think it would be wrong on the smaller scale of Adonia

[Mervyn and Trish]

Giv' 'em time and a pot of paint
