I couldn’t resist uploading a preview of our amazing tug boat captain in Auckland. Watch out for a video next week 🙂
Year: 2009
Look out from the Crows Nest
Lilly keeps watch
Promenade Deck at Night
A great place to walk after dinner at night
Farewell Auckland
Here’s a last look back at Auckland. What a great city.
Mark has got over his bout of queeziness but now both Liz and Emma are feeling sea sick from the movement of the ship.
Lilly thinks that even though she is 6 she should be going pm the teens club instead of ‘Peter pans’ for the 4 to 8 year olds.
I fear she may be right!
Sail Away Party
The beautiful terraces of the aft deck were the perfect location to farewell Auckland and throw a party.
Each terrace was packed with people partying and they all cheered when the tug boat driver released the lines and did a couple of impressive twirls with his boat as a kind of salute. I’ll upload a video of it when we get home.
Seas are rough and Liz is queezy and a bit sea sick. Mark ate some suspect lamb shanks the night before we left so he’s been confined to his cabin for 24 hours by the doctor.
As you can see from the picture, Lilly has made some new friends in kids club who are sailing right sound the world. Harrison prefers to explore the ship by himself.
More news later!
Our ship has sailed in
We watched Oriana sail in this morning. She looks beautiful all in white. We couldn’t have had a better view
Queen Victoria
Harrison (aka mini Shipwatcher) thinks this is one Very big ship!
Tahitian Princess
The port is so crowded today that Tahitian Princess had to berth at the container wharf.
But even so, passengers disembark right in the middle of town.
