Not quite as advertised..
 
Cruise ship from Boston supposed to head to Bermuda diverted to Halifax and other Maritime ports.
Good thing they're mostly hardy New Englanders rather than Nancy Boys from way down south. It was 7 degrees C when I got up yesterday morning.

How disappointing for the cruise ship passengers. 7C is something
above freezing, right? It doesn't take a McCain style hero to
endure such cold weather. Buck up sissy boy.

Is it your opinion that one must be a real, macho kind of guy to put up with temps ranging from 7C
to 20C ? That's above average for our winters in northern Virginia.

You pay for warm tropical weather and beaches, and you get sent to a cold,
crime ridden port? Sounds bad.

Especially, as Don said, they're mostly New Englanders anyway.

People from down south know better than to book a cruise at the peak
of hurricane season. You are very unlikely to go where you booked.
