That's great to hear. Which ship are you on?

I'm scheduled to head back to work in a week.

Spirit of Discovery. Originally bound for Orkney, but thanks to wee Nippy, off to isles of scilly.

Lots of staff - mainly Phillipino, really glad to be earning again, a lovely atmosphere, everyone grinning

MSC Virtuosa has been doing UK cruises for a few weeks now, Marella Explorer went out Friday with passengers and Britannia went today, for anyone interested, Solent Ships on utube is worth a watch.

My wife, mother-in-law and 6 year old son have cruise vouchers to use this summer, they can't actually use them. The policy on 'staycation' cruises with Princess (who they have vouchers with due to a previously cancelled cruise) is strictly vaccinated guests only, which obviously means anyone under the age of 18 can't 'travel', even with a negative PCR test.

Have to admit I didn't know it was quite that strict.

A large 'Virgin' cruise ship left Portsmouth (and out via Nab Tower) on Friday afternoon, not sure if there were any paying passengers onboard or not.
