DAY 14

Today we were in Dublin for nearly 18 hours (0600-2330), and believe it or not I managed to stay on board that whole time. Dublin is one of those special cities where everyone on board makes the effort to go ashore even if only for a couple of hours. We are headed there again next cruise for the same amount of time so I’ll make sure to get ashore then. It is supposed to be a nice city to go out and have a drink in a pub. It was Saturday so a lot of people came back saying it was absolutely buzzing around town.


I hit the officer mess for dinner and then went up to the cyber Study to use the internet where a friend happens to work. After I had finished on the web we went up for a quick drink up in Horizons before we headed to the Indian Independence Day party that was just getting started in the crew mess. The actual day of independence is tomorrow on the 15th, but they made the good decision to have the party on the second-to-last night of the cruise since “almost” everyone has a busy day on turnarounds and tomorrow is a sea day. The party was a success and there was lots of music and dancing late into the night.
