Given what's going on in the world, it's probably to clear up the blood and body parts.

So you're stuck on a cruise ship that should have left on a 3 year cruise four months ago, which is suffering mechanical maladies, and is finally fixed

What do you really not want to see?

How about 2 of the officials holding a model of the Titanic? 😱

Yeah, it's not quite gone yet, either, - the Odyssey left Belfast Harbour late last night, and almost immediately afterward dropped anchor off Ballymacormick Point out in the lough.

Stranded cruise ship remains in Belfast hours after leaving harbour - BBC News

Apparently there's some problem with paperwork, now.

I can nearly see it from the kitchen window.

EDIT: it's back in Belfast Harbour again now...

Weren't the Chinese building one too? Or maybe it was just one of their shipyards funded by someone else?

They were building one for a theme park I believe. I think this one is being built by a Chinese ship builder.

That's where it was being built, although given where China's cost base is going I imagine he now wishes he'd ordered it from one of the Vietnamese yards.

Guigaro design for China. Hints of a lancia front and Toyota rear.
