Topic: Six ships to visit Southampton on Saturday

just got off the Eclipse today (16 July), we disembarked at 8.45 no hold up driving out of Southampton, we were home in just 4 hours without breaking the speed limit.

There were a fair few ships docked but I did not realise there were 6 of them.

Let's ee if they can do the 15 minute 'kerbside to Cabin' that they do in Fort Lauderdale. My record longest boarding was 3 hours 20 mins for Independence of the Seas in Southampton

Well if you have to join the Que it's not surprising

What you need is a special card and just walk past the que

I think everyone should be treated equally unless you have a card that is

Watched (and photographed) all 6 ships as they passed Lee on the Solent (from our upstairs bedroom 'cause it was a bit breezy out there!). They all appeared to be on schedule.

We need to get you computer literate so you can post the pics

photo bucket works just really slow, windows live is just not working on forums now, no doubt when they sort out their upgrade and get the bugs out it will again become the easy way of posting

At least two Forum members were on hand to witness the six ships in Southampton yesterday, indeed, we and our partners even had an excellent lunch onboard Eclipse as guests of Celebrity Cruises.

Some members will recognise the lines of this recently departed P&O ship Artemis. Now in service with the German cruise line Phoenix Reisen...

Included some chap looking very comfy ;-)

You are in our suite!!!!!

Was it 1239?

We just spent 2 weeks lording it up in there. In May we did a back to back in 1118. Believe it or not, that suite is cheaper on a per day basis than a P1 on Cunard.

Oh Grant, now everbody will know I own a Manbag.

Hi DarbyRN we shall be doing our first cruise on the Arcadia in January as we are both retiring in December. So we thought we would check her out before hand, we are really looking forward to it. Will do our best to leave things clean and tidy for you and put a smile on the face of the crew. Happy cruising. Ray & June.

Hello Garfield, not such a good result, certainly should not have missed the penalty.

I was not over impressed with Chelsea either, a lot of work needed there.

Methinks that THE John Portsmouth Football Club Westwood has never cruised! He is a lovely chap (when sober!) but I would not wish to share a cruise with him and his damn bell!
