| Another year as cruising continued following the Covic-19 shutdown in the UK from March 2020 until May 2021. Two Meyer Werft ships on the 28th February 2022. Aurora had been in since the 4th January as she prepared for restart, only popping out overnight on the 14th. Since the 15th she had played musical berths as she had to make way for turnarounds. Meanwhile, the brand new 183,900gt AIDAcosma made her debut as the first call on her maiden voyage, having left Hamburg two days earlier. The fifth LNG ship ordered by Carnival Corp following in the footsteps on AIDAnova, Costa Smeralda, Iona and Mardi Gras, she was due in for 9am. |

| I went back down in the afternoon as Aurora was sailing with passengers for the first time since March 2020 as she embarked on a 32 night Caribbean cruise. The weather was absolutely atrocious and she had Svitzer Ferriby on the stern. Just before 6pm she finally moved with 1061 passengers onboard. AIDAcosma left at 9.30pm. |
