Late embarkation due to non arrival of food- was said. 2 cancelled stops, Corunna and Gibraltar as missed tide at Bristol, Lisbon stop en route to Canaries, NOT as advertised on way back. Madeira berthed at 9.30 am, ashore by tender for 2.15 just as all shut for New Year, this after 1 lifeboat fibreglass hull damaged, on another two windows smashed, even cooks helping to embark and disembark clients to tenders, why only 2 tenders in use? Chaos. Vigo [an extra stop en route back]- arrive by 6pm but gangway down for 8pm! Disembarkation at S/Hampton having left car at Avonmouth cruise terminal! [This bus transfer the most organised part of the whole trip]The weather was bad, gale force times but partner ship made it to Gib. is said. Rumors abound. Little time in ports, pathetic.
