Here's a strange one. Came back from Cherbourg last Sunday on the Irish Ferries 'Epsilon'. We were impressed at check-in when it was noted we had asked for plug-in on the way over (WB Yeats) and were offered it for the return journey.
Had to wait a while for the deckhand to organise a socket board (in between blowing his whistle at everybody and everything).... but eventually we had power and headed upstairs.
When it came to unplugging at Dublin, I was surprised to see our cable lying on the deck, but I assumed that whistle-man had done it for us to save time.
It wasn't until we unloaded the fridge at home in West Cork that I noticed the freezer contents stuck solid to the freezer compartment and a pool of water under the fridge door. This never happens... unless the fridge warms and then re-freezes?
Is it possible that someone needed a socket and unplugged us after we had left the deck, leaving us to de-frost and then re-freeze on the journey home?
In future, we'll make sure we're the last to leave the loading bay.
Now, where's that Interpol phone number.......
