Good thing I have a blog to remember all this pre sail drama! Yesterday I was all packed and ready to walk out door to airport, when we had a late day ship update, called tea time ( like in spill the tea)! Anyhow, even though we FINALLY have all our approvals, paperwork, certifications and insurance we can't launch because we have now where to access SHIP for us residents ! The ship yard of H & W, where we have been this whole time, is currently in bankruptcy or as they call it administration - so there is no staff there and therefore we have no security to allow us access to boat, gangway or pathway. They have to move us to a Cruise Terminal and now that is the off season, there is only one operating and they have commitments through Sunday. The current plan is to move us early Monday morning, board us residents and finally SAIL AWAY! So I again moved my airline ticket to Sunday night to meet them Monday in Belfast!
