Seabourn Pride London to Lisbon in pictures and video

I think this is the saddest chocolate fondue I'd ever seen

 

 

 

 

 

For a few minutes it even looked like the weather was going to cooperate (which means it's time to sail off)

[Emperor Norton]

The Bremen was crying to see us go (see the foreward anchor holes {ports?})

 

It appears the break in the weather is over or at least rapidly ending

 

 

This was an interesting building, it was either all windows, or no windows depending upon which part you're in

 

 

Even with the weather people were on deck for sail away. The accursed noise maker was there as well.

While everyone else was looking off the port side I peeked over the starboard and saw this sailboat playing chicken with us

 

Tower of

 

The accursed noisemaker I believe was formerly the magicians rubber squawking chicken (you squeeze it and it makes an annoying noise). It frequently found its way to the Skybar. Eventually a plan was hatched to wrest the chicken from its keepers and remove its squawker. Sadly this plan failed.

 

It's hard to resist a choking the chicken joke

Sadly there was no on deck BBQ this cruise. The last sea day had a market galley lunch which brought out pushy, shoving line-cutting heathens.

 

 

 

 

Even during the lunch they were still keeping things clean

I tossed the picture I had of the pasta (the sauce was an equal ratio of fat to sauce...yuck). The chaffing dishes didn't seem to be heated (food was at best room temp) - perhaps people weren't closing them?

Baychilla - I thought they ran an excursion to Santiago de Compostela from La Coruna? Certainly if there is one, and for anyone who has not been there it is well worth the longish coach ride (IMO) particularly if there is lunch at the hotel in the square there; a fabulous old building.

 

If you do another galley market lunch photoshoot, do ask if you can go in to take pictures before the horde descends!! By the time a few have got their mitts on the food it starts to look a mess. We once were near the front, and it all looked gorgeous.

baychilla thank you for all those neat photos. They have bought back memories of a cruise/holiday we did a few years ago to some of those places

Would you like to bring your camera on the Jan 4th sailing to Antarctica? :)

I second that motion! What a great idea! I think you need another cruise Baychilla!

I'm in the middle of a lengthy exercise and sensible eating phase in readiness for Christmas.

 

This does not help !

 

 

 

 

 

They look gorgeous.

That would be nice:D Hopefully the people that do go post their pictures in this forum.

The "forward anchor holes" are called hawsepipes.

Interesting, they give us a term for the merchant seaman equivalent of a mustang officer.
