Whilst looking at a German ‘Mein Schiff’: Crew member ‘That is a German ship. They pay very well but if you work there you have to speak German’. Guest: ‘I should think they would have to pay more if you have to learn German. English is a much better language.’ Note that for very few crew members is English a first language.
During the escorted walk in Seydisfjordur, they were shown an
archaeological dig and told about the dangers of avalanches and rock falls.
Both are common and unpredictable. People asked what they should do in such an
event. The answer was ‘run’ but there was no advice about in which direction.
Refreshments were served in a hotel whose plain interior
seemed more like a climbers’ hut (not that Diva has ever been in a climbers’
hut). TSH collected some items which he thought were chocolate but turned out
to be some kind of dried fish. No information was available about any of the
food offered. The weather was cold but the heaters made it possible for burgers
on deck for the second time on this cruise.
