Butlers and more Belfast

There have been some issues with the butler, who is young, keen, new and totally ignorant of how things should be done.  TSH and Diva had a chat with the housekeeper, to say he needed more training and help. They must have noticed the Anniversary cards. After dinner, TSH thought he was in the wrong suite because it had halved in size. The butler had closed the curtain between the sitting and sleeping areas. Behind the curtain were balloons, candles, champagne on ice and an Anniversary cake.More candles in the bathroom. This was all just after a good dinner!!  A knock on the door brought the butler with the butler manager, who delivered a red rose.  They have apologised in style.

The bonus morning in Belfast gave an opportunity to go into St Ann’s cathedral and glance into St Peter’s, where a service was in progress. A look inside City Hall, which is lined with light coloured marble. A shuttle bus back to the ship for lunch and sail at 14:00.

The scary bit is that the orchid is in the wastebin (to stop it falling over) and the cushions are in the glasses and drinks cupboard (to stop things breaking). Projected height of waves: 15 feet. But we are going in the opposite direction to the storm so we should be coming out of it.
