Almost always medivacs by helo ship steams into wind speed determined by sea conditions and helo usually but not alway 8-10knots speed although I have experienced it at 16k in extreme circumstances.

since I dont drink coffee it is not a problem 4 me but clarification originally would have been useful since the Lido supplies free drink snacks etc free 24 h

I find your comment re tea, coffee etc. being chargeable strange. All are free in the lido/king's court free 24 h.

All 3 choices confirmed with our usual cabins.A Nowergian odyssey with a short detour up the Gironde.

toothpast etc is in QV bookshop

We were on QV last year coming south from the North Cape in 45 knots. We were almost at the back of the Britannia on deck 3, vibration was minimal in my opinion,no worst or better than usual. A number of factors can affect the noise,speed,sea state,following,beam ,quartering or head sea, swell height and length. This was illustrated last Oct coming out Lisbon with a fast flowing spring ebb tide. An almost gale force wind from the west,a classic wind against tide situation, led to very loud bangs and judders for 2 minutes or so. Once clear of the estuary normality was restored.

AIS her at 22.7 kn eta Tortola 0645 LT

Correct they put on quite a show.

further south this port is visited every year by Cunard

try west coast

Close but no

No

tidal range is quite large at Balbao several metres at spring tides

possibly stretching a bit but this photo was taken on a Cunard ship in port seen before and is a regular occurrence many people who have been to this port will probably have seen this

but as been explained the issue is dirty hulls as you put not emissions.

10% discount by 3rd June includes the 5% CWC discount according to my TA assume after the 3rd June CWC discount will still be given
