    I turned off volume when viewing bowcam to avoid the pop music. Relaxation 4 me was defined watching QM2 bow cam listening to the beautiful and peaceful rendition of Mozart piano concerto's serene slow movement in mid Atlantic storm.

    Haguesund cancelled due to weather forecast. Hardanger fiord more than adequate compensation.

    Correction floyen

    Weather dependent look at webcam on cable car link I gave u and also www.floreyen.no and check out both webcams. Cable car has wider view but funicular better view of Bergen and ship in distance.
  9. sogne

    Emergency evacuation is paramount without lining up to swipe a card.

    Usually Mayflower arrivals go first. . hopefully we will leave before you
  16. sogne
    you should get your first look at QA on 23rd as you berth on QE2 terminal lwith QA on Mayflower either on arrival if lucky or if QA departs before QM2

    ETA almost certainly to pilot station.

    Neptune Grotto is well worth a visit weather permitting can be done privately by tourist boats departing close to tender landing
  19. sogne
    Yes just ask

    I have no problem with the Liverpool connection given its unique place in Cunard history. But coming from a long standing seafaring family I much prefer the traditional. Any sailing people on here might think of the word that describes what you do when sailng 45° to a head wind and slightly amend it.

    a tabloid story soon?

    Or is it a clever piece of marketing? The Geiranger tour from olden june 27th was originally $138, now $136.80 witn onboard price from $152. Onboard prices have usually been slightly dearer by 2 or so $ but never in my memory 10% dearer

    Downdraft on the new larger Sikosky helos is considerably stronger than the old sea Kings.
  24. sogne
    Not unusual, ship has to turn in wind and set speed as dictated by helo,then evacuee has to be brought on deck and whichman decends, maybe short discussion with ship medical staff etc. At all times helo pilot is in charge and will only carry out operation when satisfied. He may well wait for rain squall to pass etc.

    Ferries have pilot exemption for at least 2 deck officers,pilot station Wandelaar is 10 or so miles out. Forecast is 4 north winds up to f7 which blowing all way down NS may build up a fair swell. Also QM2 is restricted by the various shallows in the Schedlt. I once spent 3 days in the Anchorage waiting 4 a pilot on a much smaller ship than QM2.
