Theatre drama


The captain announced that it will be at least another 36 hours before Internet service is restored.

He also told the assembled guests that a major storm is moving across the area from south west to north east but depending on the speed of the ship and the speed of the storm it mat be possible to miss the worst of it. But we are to be ready for 15 – 20 foot waves!!

As usual, the guests were ready with questions and advice. Would the captain be using the stabilisers? Issuing medication? Closing the restaurants? Confining the guests to their suites? Could we have a live map of the situation? One guest who had clearly had a disagreement with the shore concierge desk took possession of a mic and demanded an immediate meeting with the captain to discuss ‘arrogance, incompetence and mis-representation’. Other guests were appalled by this question and the captain wisely did not respond at all.

Advice included: seal veranda doors, eat on deck 4, avoid liquids, eat salty food.
