La Colombe Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I've been on the Manannan before when it had an engine offline. It was fine. A bit slower, but who cares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 At least it is leaving early so people will make any connections they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipper99 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Good inside sources tell me that the round island cruise on Tuesday 19th is to be cancelled because of the forecast weather which would mean it couldn’t get back into Douglas. Any bets on what excuse the Steam Packet will offer? It won’t be the transparency that’s needed, that’s for sure. Another mythbuster exercise, no doubt.

Leaving early is somewhat problematic if your connection onwards is the ferry itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newaccount Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 So they put it a press statement to say the schedule is altered. It would be a good idea to then inform people what the new times are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... if it's 100m visibility in cloud, rain and fog. Would you really want to go on a round the Island cruise to stare at grey in gale force winds? Frankly I don't think anyone should believe anything they 'hear' about the new boat anymore.
