Well, I thought this would be the best holiday, but unfortunately, l've
just come back from the shortest cruise ever! From the moment my
parents and I arrived at the port we knew it wasn't going to be our

dream holiday.

The first thing I noticed was that most of the people boarding the

FTIship weren't my age. But the real shock came when we were

shown to our cabin. lt was tiny, the beds were uncomfortable and it

had no windows! So, my dad went to reception and asked if we could

car breaking down pay extra for a better one. lzTl

was an announceme nt that there would be a two-hour delay' FT],

The crew asked us all to be patient, stay on board and enjoy our

lunch. But the service was terrible! They were so disorganised it took

us an hour to have lunch and it was completely tasteless' After that,

we went back to the cabin. My mum wanted to have a shower but

there was no water. [+Tl They said something about having trouble

with the water supply and that they were doing their best to fix it'

running out FTI We hardly got any sleep that night and the next day, when
of money
the ship made its first stop, we got off along with most of the other
100 passengers and we never went back. As I'm writing this, my dad
is writing a letter of complaint to the travel agency asking for our

money back.
