Mar
16, 2013 day at sea
Though
we may have only 13 children
on board
for
the third leg of the trip from Buenos
Aires to New York,
we have a number who are young at heart. A number of people are going
to come home very tanned and experienced in the ways of water-slides.
Today,
I watched the ongoing building of a boat
from various finds on the Splendor. The builders have been spending
a few hours each sea day for the last few days scavenging for parts,
engineering, and assembling their boat. The ship I am watching is
being built by a group of Canadians and will be flying the Canadian
flag, named,
MS Canada.
As there is a fairly large contingent of Canadians on board, I am
sure lots of cheering will be heard when the 'float your boat'
contest is held in a few days. I am sure to be there supporting my
fellow Canadians.
We
were also informed today
that due to gastroenteritis
(GI)
numbers of affected cruise ship passengers, following their visit to
Grand
Turk,
that port has been cancelled by the majority of cruise lines for the
time being, including the Carnival
Splendor.
We were originally scheduled to be there on Wednesday, and it was our
last port before New York. Our port fee difference of $5.50 USD per
person will be refunded, as was port fees for Fortaleza.
Instead
we will be stopping at Antigua
on
Tuesday from 10 am to 5 pm, then onto New York.
