Escaping Nepartak.

You know it is never good when there is an announcement from the Captain during a sea day.  Typhoon Nepartak, just off Taiwan, was building intensity, and if we continued with our itinerary we would find ourselves crossing paths.  Captain Rikard decided this would not be an ideal situation, especially as it was predicted that this would build into a Super Typhoon.
Cudo’s to his crew and staff as I have been told they had fought tooth and nail to ensure we had replacement ports.  It would have been easy for Princess to keep us at sea until we were able to reconnect with our schedule.
So to keep in front from the effects of this weather system, our stay in Hong Kong was cut back to one day.  We lost our day in Shanghai and our visit to Incheon was brought forward.  We are having an overnight stay in Beijing. Jeju is out and Busan is in!!  After that all is back to normal.
We can’t complain cause Captain Riky did say he will look after the ports if we look after the weather….

And so it is “Sea La Vie” from the beautiful Sun Princess.
