An unusual day

When we started out on our travels from Musselburgh this morning, we thought we were going on a 7 night cruise to Boston, turns out that we are now going on a 10 night cruise to New York. All due to apparent severe weather conditions resulting in a change to our itinerary.

While a longer cruise may sound good, it has blown apart our plans in Boston, which included meeting up with our good friends Andrew and Anna. Also, our hotel has to be cancelled, as does our trip to Salem.

It has also derailed many other people’s plans as they cannot afford the time to spend another three extra days as sea. Ben and David, who are our favourite cruise vloggers are two such people who have had to cancel the trip as they were due to attend a wedding the day after they had got back from the original itinerary.

Luckily, we met them for a few minutes in the cruise terminal by accident, as they were heading back home to Yorkshire, after cancelling.

Onwards and upwards on the Norwegian Aqua as they say. I have to say it looks a beautiful ship and we are lucky to be on it’s inaugural cruise.

A day not as we expected.
