Well, I reported on board to sart readying the cabins last Saturday, and very few crew seem to have turned up. You may find this will be a D.I.Y holiday! I have decided the cabins i will look after and they all have a good view of the sea, which looks pretty cold at the moment. Have had a pretty hard struggle to get enough pillows, of all things. Apparently in short supply because all those Santas on a health kick have needed pillows to fatten their appearance up. But I have been promised enough by Friday. Wont stock the fridges till Christmas day, after the crews party. If iI leave strong drink in them there will be none in the morning! Fresh flowers ordered for delivery from the Channel Islands. Chef is still debating whether people will have had enough turkey by the time they join, and maybe will do smoked salmon or goose instead. See you all on Boxing Day, bring your hangovers and the crew will administer their favourite cures. |

Jean you are working your socks off - I have been trying to recruit more staff and passengers but not much luck. Keep the flag flying!! |

Jean, bless you. You have been a busy bee, I will give you a hand when I get aboard. Cant wait to sail to sunnier climes, I've had enough of this cold weather. |

I am not sure yet whether there will be enough staff to offer breakfast in cabins. It might be the best I can do for my passengers, to put out a selection of cereal packets, sugar and milk. Not what our passengers expect on holiday. Did say this might be a DIY holiday,. |

I'd offer OH as Captain, but not Captain material I'm afraid. How about asking Merlin? No Perishable goods on board yet, so there is still time to cancel due to bad weather and have the cruise at a later date. I was sure Santa would have wanted to be aboard for a rest! |

Am beginnning to think Jean along those lines myself. This bad weather - chances of anyone reaching Southampton for the sailing are remote. |

February might be better, thats if no one disagrees. People seem too busy at the moment to think about it. Jude hadnt even looked at the thread, she has been so busy. |
