• Funchal Madeira

    February 21, 2012 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    Well we are just approaching Funchal, Madeira and the weather has changed.
    Yesterday was beautiful in the afternoon and evening, temperatures must have been in the 80s.
    But today at the minute it's cold with cloudy grey sky's.
    Might change though, won't bother Sheila and I as once again we're stopping on board ship.
    Ken was up and about again last night, after his bout of Norovirus, which was good news.
    But he had a few complaints about the way the staff didn't provide the things that guests confined to cabin normally get ie minibar restocked and food delivered by room service to name but two.
    To be honest I do find that standards are dropping with RCCL, which is a shame.
    I think it's got a lot to do with dropping the prices of the cruise to a level where anyone can afford them.
    That may sound rather snobbish, but i'm afraid it's true.
    And the company are treating passengers accordingly.
    Anyway I'll just jump down from this soapbox and go for breakfast.
