Last Saturday Julie and I flew to Palma, on the Spanish island of Majorca. We got up at 3 in the morning to catch a 6 AM flight out of London Gatwick. After a 2 hour flight we arrived in Palma and boarded our cruise ship beginning a 7 day Mediterranean cruise. The ship was of Greek registry called the Thompson Destiny. Length 218 meters, width 29 meters, tonnage 38,000, 18 Knots cruising speed, 11 decks, 725 cabins, 1450 passengers, 540 crew, and powered by four 5,600 HP Diesel engines. The ship had 2 pools, 2 restaurants, 5 bars, 2 lounges and 7 lifts. Everyone on the ship was required to participate in the emergency procedures as they take safety very serious. We got to the pool bar very quickly and started working on our sea legs and a proper holiday attitude.
