Tomorrow morning (19 December 2009) almost all of the staff of cruise.co.uk will board the coach at 8.30am to Dover where we will board Fred Olsen's Balmoral. Whilst we will have an informal afternoon and evening, She will take us to Amsterdam, here we will see the sights for the day, on the same evening we have the formal night and arrive back in Dover Monday 21st December.
I will update you next week as to how things went.......Now updated.
You may have seen on the news about the conditions at the channel Tunel and dover port, well all was well and we were on schedule when we left the office to board the coach to transport us to Dover, when we were roughly sixish miles away the traffic came to a stand still and the clock was now ticking, would it clear in time to get to the Balmoral? shall we walk? can we walk??? well we DID dragging cases, carrying holdalls in the snow along the main roads and carriages where lorries were parked up and engines off.
We all made it comming in two by to like a very slow marathon but having no medal to show for it, saying that, i think the large well earned glass of wine was preferable to any medal!!
We sailed to Amsterdam, the city looked like a christmas card scene all covered in snow, we had fabulous food and wine, great entertainment and the company of my collegues who also made the weekend memorable.
If you have any questions about the Balmoral, then email or call me and i should be able to answer.
GLAD YOU ALL MADE IT AND YOU ALL LOOK VERY DASHING IN YOUR EVENING CLOTHES
