Enroute to Glasgow : A combination of a tropical storm and a
separate hurricane have caused a deviation in our itinerary so we “blew off” a
second stop in Norway and
are headed directly for Scotland .
This is in service of avoiding some seriously rough weather which the captain
believed we’d encounter if we kept to our original route. The water is rough today, we're bouncing about some.
We don’t go directly to Glasgow ,
but to a place called Greenock from which Glasgow
is accessible by train. You never know whether such ports are truly how one
gets to a city or merely the cheapest place at which to dock, we often suspect
the latter.
We note that Princess is cutting costs everywhere it can: shorter
shows, etc. The other DrC believes this is true across the industry. She is
probably correct, the airlines have certainly done this.
