It was a surreal feeling.<BR/><BR/>GillGillDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-57608426723902038732009-03-18T18:25:00.000Z2009-03-18T18:25:00.000ZThank you James and Graham for yet another fantastic blog entry. As all your readers are finding, this blog is a constant source of encouragement, interest, fascination and fun. <BR/><BR/>On this particular entry we give our credit to those responsible for the organisation that goes into each port call with regards to the trips. It is always a source of wonderment and amazement to us on every cruise as to how so many people can be despatched to all parts of the city in question so quickly and with the least effort for the passengers, (but not for the staff I presume!!) So often one can hear chunnering and impatience from passengers, those that need to get a life of course or get out more, but our praise goes to those that cause this regular event to go off every time seemingly without hitches. As on this visit, 1200 passengers in 22 minutes, wow. <BR/><BR/>Many thanks<BR/><BR/>Steve and Maragret AckersThe Ackersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-39914751268399449682009-03-18T16:42:00.000Z2009-03-18T16:42:00.000ZHello James,<BR/><BR/>A belated Happy St Patricks Day - Tony &amp; I celebrated Italian/Irish style with Antipasti followed by Irish Stew &amp; Colcannon!!
