It is 6.30 am and we have been wakened with a cup of tea and biscuits. Our cabin stewards are all dark coloured men who clean out the cabins each morning. We have just started to sail very slowly.
Children�s breakfast is 7.15 am � another marvellous meal Parents are allowed to attend all meals. Our breakfast is at 9 am and we can eat as much as we want.
After breakfast we sat at the rails to wait for 11 am when we were served with beef tea. At 11.30 the children go to dinner.
The ship has now stopped again in midstream close to Tilbury and we have been informed that it will not sail again until 6.30 pm.
We are filling our time sitting in the lounge resting and writing letters. This is not a bad pastime and we must get well organised as this is to be our home for the next few weeks.
W spent another evening in the lounge as it is very cold on the decks at night. About 10 pm we went to our cabins and then to bed again. By the way, the ship set sail again at 4.30 pm this afternoon.
