Tonight ITV 8.30pm. This new six- parter enters the bubble of the Royal Princess as it begins its summer season sailing around the Med,following the trials of keeping everything running swimmingly.
Worth a look for those who are interested in cruising.

Re: The Cruise:Sailing The Mediterranean.
The logistics involved in turning one of these ships around in about 10 hours is amazing. To get up to 3,000 passengers and luggage off and same number back on. Remove all the rubbish collected on the last cruise then restock for the next.
It works like clockwork and I am always amazed at the efficiency of crews and shipping companies.
Happy daze John in Oz.
