"SPIRIT OF BRITAIN" out of service today

The superb new cruise ferry "SPIRIT OF BRITAIN" was today out of service due to technical problems. I was supposed to sail on the ship at 14.00 but just as I arrived the check-in facilities I was told that the ship would probably be loading about 20 minutes later. At approximately 2 pm, we were told that the ship was still at sea and we would be transferred to the next available sailing, the 14.45 on board "PRIDE OF BURGUNDY", during the process of loading I saw the "SPIRIT OF BRITAIN" finally arriving at Dover and safely deliver passengers and freight, later when we were secured for sea, our captain informed us that unfortunately one of the new P & O super cruise ferries would be withdrawn from regular service due to mechanical failure.

Returning home on board "SPIRIT OF BRITAIN"

Photos taken 29.7.2012 during my trip on the "SPIRIT OF BRITAIN" returning home from another business adventure, I call it an adventure because the way the economical climate is at the moment in Europe, business becomes an adventure as the majority of the countries are struggling.
