Union Castle
I did 3 trips on the Oranje passenger/ cargo also one trip on the Windsor Castle as AB.
It was good working on both with a 5 week 3 days turn around and 10 days leave.
Managed to have flirtatious encounter with one of many Stewardess's ( lucky me )on board the Windsor for the whole trip, had 10 day's leave and returned to sign on to rekindle the relationship with this Scottish girl but was late for the sign on so missed out bummer.
