GD4ELI Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 She's making slow progress down to Falmouth, currently off the Pembrokeshire coast. I'll pop round at the end of the week and grab some photos of her in dry dock, only ~5 miles from here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me it doesn't - even under full steam it's 22 hours from Falmouth to Douglas. 22 hours slitting my wrists on the Ben - no.thank.you!

The Ben has cabins, first class lounge, a bar and cafeteria/restaurant, along with a shop. All the facilities that cruise ships have. I’m sure the Steam Packet could also replicate the cost factor as well, down market cruises at over inflated prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD4ELI Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 She'll probably be at anchor now until allowed into the dock. As you see from the map this is one the busiest stretches of water in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
