Bon VoyageBelfast

It’s the trapped feeling …I d want to get off and go for a walk or a run I d want to see a tree, a bush, a garden and I don’t like things arranged for me and I also like to choose my own
table /meal friends anyway it’s for people with money and that’s not me
Give me a tent and some freedom or a nice Airbnb and a city break anytime

Well, they’re off again….

Next stop Scotland!

They’re easily pleased aren’t they? 😂

Again!

Let's see how far they get this time 👍

There seems to be some confusion about where they are going next.
The BBC news said France, but then a very over excited American woman on board said the next port of call is Scotland!

A magical mystery tour.
Actually I believe there are some cruises like that where the destination is unknown to the passengers!

I wonder if it has left yet.

Despite how expensive it is to cruise on this ship I was a bit surprised to see it’s an old Fred Olsen cast-off, the Braemar!

There’s the problem It’s unlucky to change the name of a boat.
I hated the name of my second boat but no way was I going to change it.

It's going to Fairlie in North Ayrshire to refuel then it's going to France.

Why wait all those months? They could have just got on a ferry. 😂

The Braemar? Previously it was also the Crown Dynasty, I think.

It's changed it's mind about Scotland, it's en route to Brest

It's heading south on vessel finder.

Perhaps somebody told them they weren’t going to Brigadoon.

I’m worried about their navigator’s sense of direction 🚢

Or got the train?

I guess the ship is old enough to have been sold on several times to other cruise lines, along with a change of name.

I remember reading that one passenger had gone on another short cruise while they were stuck in Belfast !
Others used the opportunity to travel around the UK.

You can go for a lot of walks. It is approximately a mile just walking once round the top deck with the ones we go on. Nothing better than the wind in your hair watching the sea. Not that many bother so you have space to yourselves !

You can go for a lot of walks
But Nana8 the same walk every day!!! (for those on Odyessa long term for a year, 2 years, for ever !!!)

They do stop at ports.

I am aware Allira 😳 I m thinking of everyday normal times between any visits

I've been using vessel finder to see where the Odyssey is going. Not very fast anyway! We left Dublin yesterday afternoon to sail to Cherbourg - arrived around midday today. Odyssey is still pottering along - not in Brest yet. I suppose cruise ships don't go as fast as ferries, but they're obviously not in a hurry!

Perhaps it only goes in bottom gear! 😂

One poor woman couldn't go far as she has her cat with her and he wasn't allowed off the ship.

A cat on a ship??

Of course! The ship's cat - keeps down the mice 😂

Cruel woman poor cat
