We are back on board wondering about tomorrow when the captain’s voice comes on the loudspeaker. He sounds wise and intelligent. There is a subtle difference between those two words.

“We are facing some weather challenges. If we don’t leave now, we will be caught in a massive, powerful storm. We have decided to leave as soon as possible. Thank you very much,” he says with a slight accent. It sounds a little intriguing. “This cruise is going to be interesting,” I thought

Our walking tour has gone out with the tide.

We are flexible and know that these things happen. It does no good to complain or brood about such matters. These things happen occasionally on cruises. We are seasoned travelers and will “roll” with the punches that come our way.
