Today is 18 July, this is Amsterdam, SO WHERE THE !@#& IS MY SHIP????

Today didn't start out too well - the Wifi at the hotel was down most of the morning, it was raining quite heavily, and I had to hang around until midday to board the Dawn Princess. So when the internet finally came back up, I flicked on to the Princess webcam site, only to see it said she was heading for Bergen. Like WHAT THE !@#&?????

Hoping that was a mistake, I trudged through the rain to the cruise terminal, and sure enough, no ship... Apparently the weather was a little rough and the captain wasn't going to risk bringing her into port. Shades of Dublin last year!

So along with a dozen or so others (but not the two Americans who threw a hissy-fit, and organised themselves and their 8 pieces of luggage a direct flight back to the States) are booked to fly this evening to Bergen, via Copenhagen. There we will be put up in a hotel for tonight and tomorrow night, and then transported to the ship on Wednesday. What an adventure!

So if anyone on the ship happens to check this, sorry, I won't be there for the CC M&G tomorrow after all. Maybe sailaway on Wednesday?
