Oh the 500 is all alone on the ship... Well, other thant he hundreds of other european cars on board!
Heard on the grapevine that its starting some sort of Euro Football cup on the car deck in the evenings to put off the boardom but the German team which is mainly made of of Mercedes-Benz and BMW's is winning at the minute which isn't good
Thats the latest position from this morning....
