Diva denied

On the morning of the problems with Invader, TSH and Diva met Captain Arma and thanked him for keeping everybody safe and well informed. He looked pleased but proceeded to give them both a telling off because they were going ashore without hats. He expects his guests to look after themselves as well as he does. But they both have thick hair and he is almost bald!!

Grenada is a port well geared to tourists. An air-conditioned mall with shops just by the port with prices in USD. No need to take a tour, as TSH and Diva have been on a previous occasion to the waterfalls and the nutmeg factory. Diva decided to buy some jewellery and as the USD supply is running low, offered her credit card at the till. ‘Please input your PIN’. ‘PIN? I need a PIN?’ Diva has not needed to use a card for almost two months and has forgotten her PIN or even that she has one. Is this a sign of the regular humiliations to come when she returns to the UK and has forgotten everything about normal life? And this day of reckoning looms ever closer. TSH came to the rescue with his card, feeling smug because he knows his PIN. But he had to return to the Silver Spirit for his card, as Diva’s card was to be used that day. And now her card is useless for the rest of the journey!

Tomorrow is the day when Bonaire has been cancelled because of the Silver Spirit propeller problem. So another restful sea day.

Other cruise ships in Grenada: Royal Caribbean Splendour of the Seas. And a Geest banana boat set sail for the UK.
