I'm just not sure what the sixth clue is but I have all of the rest. I can't think of silly malapropisms using the three longer answers. I fennel sorry for you JP! 😄 However, your missive is witty and spot on! Good Job! 🥰 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Fletcher Posted May 24, 2023 #17106 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) Cloud on the horizon After my blog from the Cloud sailing from Muscat to Athens, the Cloud sailed on into a rather turbulent cruise. After two scheduled stops in Greece and one in Albania, Sousse in Tunisia was cancelled because of bad weather and replaced by Trapani in Sicily. The two Algerian ports were successfully visited but Motril/Granada, perhaps a highlight for some, was cancelled because of a threatened strike at Lisbon port. The Cloud will now arrive in Lisbon tonight, two days earlier than scheduled. Bet there are some grumpy people on board.

lincslady Posted May 24, 2023 #17108 Share Posted May 24, 2023 If it was a British line, like Fred Olsen, there would be a Committee already looking for what they call 'compo'. All saying things like 'Sousse was the only reason I came on this cruise'. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted May 24, 2023 #17110 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Yes, but you might mean it. Fred passengers just want money back - we went on one years ago where there was practically a riot about one uninteresting port being missed. Funny really, though a bit annoying. I guess the instigators were union bosses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate the updating by the always-knowing and smart Fletcher. THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted May 24, 2023 #17113 Share Posted May 24, 2023 In spite of what I said above, obviously I agree that it is a shame the cruise has been spoilt. Trapani is pleasant to visit, but not Sousse, and missing the possibility of Granada, which would be a highlight for many, a real downer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emtbsams Posted May 24, 2023 #17114 Share Posted May 24, 2023 We have missed a number of ports over the years, some didn't matter and some were highly anticipated. However, a day at sea on Silversea beats just about anything else! Glass half full. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still getting used to the change, I've gone from a 1987 Bentley as my daily driver with a cassette player and column shift into a Jag with keyless entry, magic lights and wipers and one of them newfangled bluetooth systems. It's been quite a shock to the system. It does also turn down the stereo for you when you're about to hit something. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
