Creator's Key Takeaways

We have a disastrous start to our cruise and our bad luck continues as the weather takes it's toll.

Our sailing's been delayed till 10:00. And then we've got 6-7 m seas tonight when we get out into the channel, increasing to 8 m tomorrow.

It's pouring down with rain.

The choice of drinks is basic. Restricted. Yeah, there's not a lot of choice.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Buy a bottle of Prosecco instead of by the glass to save money.
βœ“Bring extra charging cables and a multi-way charger for devices.
βœ“Check the bar menu for limited drink choices before ordering.

Rough seas and weather β€” Take seasickness tablets and hold onto railings when moving around.
