I went out with me cornflake box and colander held steady,
I couldn’t buy the glasses, they had all sold out already,
I gathered my equipment and I pointed it to heaven,
Never saw a thing, I’ll wait till 2027.
@CruiseGuy@VikingCruises@Independent Today they've offered us a measly (less than)10% compensation for the loss of our holiday. Its mean and nasty. Not impressed.

Ok. Here’s the very latest. We are stranded on the Danube. Thanks to the Bulgarian fire & rescue, we will transfer to another ship and then bus to Bucharest.
George - our Uber talented musician- played “Nearer My God to thee” and then he & I did a jazz duet!
Quick update from my well-deserved vacation… the Viking ship Ullur ran aground this AM in the middle of the Danube and we are waiting to be rescued. Transylvania here we come!
Status update: on a river cruise from Budapest to Bucharest. We've had delays and cancellations all week due to low river levels.
Last night at Midnight we hit a sandbank, and haven't moved since. Currently awaiting another rescue attempt 🤣 #rivercruise#sandbank#stuck
Since the pitch black of midnight all alone with our multidirectional engines - until 0900AM with a massive Slovakian tug to assist- we haven’t budged!
Romania on one side; Bulgaria the other.
The Danube is still winning!
If you're at the checkout getting annoyed by the pensioner taking too long and chatting with the cashier, don't be. It could well be the only interaction they have all day.
