MAJESTIC ON THE ‘’Majestic ‘’?

After having waited 4.5 hrs in Barcelona harbour, we finally were able to board the Majestic !

It wasn’t 15h but 16h30 when the boat finally cruised off destination Tangier…

After having checked in to our cabins we set out to discover what the boat had to offer. The boys wanted to see the inside swimming pool but this turned out to be closed with a fishing net covering the basin and the surrounding area had been overtaken by many men sitting, smoking, playing cards, and discussing their daily lives. 

So off we went to see the lounge as we were longing for a cool drink. The lounge and bar area were just opening and we were lucky to find a spot to sit down  as many had reserved their spot already for the night even it seemed, as cool bags and duvets could be spotted everywhere around us.

The boys set out to the game room but not for long as this was closed down for technical problems. Thank god for their PSP’s although they had had their share during the long wait earlier…

The day seemed to take ages to pass as much was closed down on the boat. Crisis????  We set off to check out another lounge in the front of the boat. The sea seemed to have played up a bit and walking wasn’t as easy anymore. The Royal Lounge turned out to be a massive playground for the kids, jumping up and down and running around the place. We sat there for a while to take it all in including the music and the youthful animation.

Then dinnertime arrived and after that we headed off to the cabins to rest after a long day…

The next day we spent most of the time on the outside decks. There were no benches present at all and plastic chairs were scarce. The wait for the Moroccan harbour to appear was long…..

The so-called “Majestic “  finally docked at 18h with 4 hours of delay. Luckily Customs went smooth and off we drove on Moroccan territory! Our adventure had begun!
