5 big ships left Southampton together Q Mary, NCL, Disney, P&O Arvia & ourselves in convoy down the channel. The weather has not been great going across, high winds, rough seas keeping people out the pool areas making the inside public areas very crowded. Shows packed out, the best we've had has been Andy Reid an ex-army guy who lost both his legs & 1 arm in an Afghan IED bomb hidden under the road. His talk on his life & how he'd dealt with all this was truly inspirational.
Arrived in Corner Brook, Newfoundland today. Nice town in the Humber estuary, established in the 1920's with lots of original shops & buildings. Festival going on in the high street with music, dancing & there was a screech in, which is some form of Newfie welcome that involves kissing codfish???. Town is dominated by a paper mill. Local people don't seem to have a Canadian accent. Funny Canadian rules forced us to have only one bar open per deck on the ship.
