Entertainment On Board Brittany Ferry - Books and Velazquez Las Meninas


 

Our ship had a well stocked shop with a row of simple, entertaining books on learning Spanish. Plus toys for children, tee-shirts, flipflops, chocolates, bottles of drink and more.

Acitivites - Whales & Wildlife

Watch the list of activities. The whale watching was cancelled because the decks outside were closed because of bad weather. We were taken out for five minutes later in the day to see tht outdoor artwork, but in one minutes I was almost blown off my feet and as the ship lurched and had to be grabbed and helped back inside.

I did however, instead get to hear a talk about wildlife, Orcas. I picked up their leaflet showing the sizes of dolphins and whales.

French & Spanish

Brittany sounds like Great Britain, but is related to Brittany in France. The ships are French and the staff speak French, which is helpful for people like me who learned French at school and speak better French than Spanish. The announcements are in three languages, and by listening to all three we could hear that Spanish is pretty easy to understand - if you hear the English or french first.

We treated outselves to dinner in the Azul restaurant, sitting by a large round porthole.

The lights dimmed and I guessed either we were sinking like the titanic or it was a birthday. I am glad to report the latter. A couple who had a birthday were given a chocolate profiteraole with a sall candle on top and a couple of staff sand happy birthday.
