Update

Here’s the deal: Mallorca’s longshoremen and transportation employees are striking, so the entire port is shut down. We’re skipping it tomorrow and we’re headed to Marseille, a day early. We’ll spend one day there. From there, we don’t yet know where we’re going to go. We’re too big for a lot of ports, and this normally isn’t much of a problem, since they could just ferry us into port from off shore. But we’re too big for that to be done efficiently. So at this point, my money is on us going to Ajaicco, Corsica, or Genoa, Italy on Saturday. Either of those would kick Mallorca’s butt. Other (less attractive options) include going back to Monaco, going to Barcelona a day early and spending an extra day at sea.

There are different unions in Barcelona, so it doesn’t appear that we’ll have any problem getting off the ship and into the airport, which is good.
