Two late departures on the 24th September 2014. MSC Magnifica was scheduled to sail at 6pm with Mein Schiff 1 two hours later. Gradually, both ended up being put back with Magnifica 7.30pm then 8pm and Mein Schiff half an hour later. About 8.15pm, there was a lot of blasting, which sounded a bit throaty and I thought something was moving but no such luck. Mein Schiff finally left at 8.40pm, letting the city know she was moving. Well, after fixing the engine and giving up on six passengers who hadn't returned to the ship, at around 9.10pm, Magnifica left City Terminal and sailing to Zeebrugge. |
