Arcadia is in my home town today

[CASPALL]

I woke up this morning to a wonderful summers day and when I looked out my window there was the Arcadia lying off Lerwick harbour. I had breakfast in the garden to enjoy my wonderful view. Last time I saw Arcadia was when we disembarked from her in Barbados - 7 or 8 yrs ago.

I hope all the passengers are enjoying Shetland. We haven't had many warm sunny days this summer. The only problem will be the midges - they are biting like mad after all the wet weather :(

Wish I was sailing on Arcadia tonight!

Bon Voyage!

I love how cruise ships tower over the towns.

It really does make you yearn for a cruise doesn't it?

Midges in Shetland - what a surprise. We visited for a week in June 3 years ago and it was very cold, with a never-ending wind and sleet at times - beautiful place though - especially Eshaness.

Best sticky toffee pudding ever at Haroldswick.

The only time I've seen Arcadia, was in Akureyri, Iceland.last year when we were there on Aurora.

August in Shetland is usually a midge month.Ok at the moment as there is a gentle breeze but they will be out soon :eek:

The cruiers will be back on board by then.
