Sure that the boat will check everyone is on board. Prayers out to all involved. Prayers indeed! Was there 6 weeks ago today. Ship doesn't depart until 8pm so a lot of people will still be out and about. Las Ramblas leads to the port area. Just hoping everyone is safe and well. A lot of staff disembark in the afternoon also! Thoughts are with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodyb Posted August 17, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted August 17, 2017 A lot of people onboard posting on the Facebook page. A lot of passengers and staff in lockdown in bars and cafes for their own safety. Captain Chris has announced the ship will not leave till everyone safely back on board. Would expect nothing else from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodyb Posted August 17, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted August 17, 2017 At hose on board posting that all passengers and staff are safe. They are waiting for those caught up in this to be escorted back to the ship. Captain Chris announced they will not sail till everyone back on board. People saying how brilliant the staff have been throughout what must be an incredibly difficult afternoon/evening. No surprise there, thomson staff are the best at sea!
