Might I ask which tour this is of Invergordon?  I would love to do this one when we go in September 2023.  Thank you for sharing your trip with us.

This one is with Nigel... The second time we've gone with him. The Highland Experience Tour.

Loving your trip report.

Do you happen to know if they sell duty free cigarettes in the store onboard?

[amajaa]

Anyone on board at the moment, did the Captain announce the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II? We were onboard last week, pleased we weren't at sea when it happened, so sad.

 

I know it has been reported that MSC Virtuosa and at least one of the Celebrity ships cancelled the parties planned for that night .

Cunard, sister line to Princess, cancelled all the shows and other entertainment and I understand that some, if not all Princess ships did the same.

I see Emerald Princess is in Belfast today so they hopefully might have heard the Proclamation read out for the new King and the cannons etc.

Yes, we were on this cruise and my husband played Craps every night.

I found that because they downsized the Patters, not all the events were listed, and we missed a couple of things we were interested in. Near the end of the cruise we found out we needed to scroll thru the onboard displays to see all the events (not very "user-friendly" if you need to keep getting up to go find one), or you could use the Medallion app (but you need to carry your phone everywhere). We're just too old-school, I guess!

Downsizing the Patter would be horrible for us. We rely on it each day and circle what we plan to do. Trying to look at the schedule with the app or on the TV is just an exercise in frustration as you spend all of your time scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and you cannot mark things.
