Here's a timelapse video of the Moon Setting last night as seen from Pacific Star, somewhere between Fiji and Vanuatu.
Sorry but the picture's a bit grainy. That happens when you try night shots on a web cam :)
Hope you enjoy it.

Here's a timelapse video of Pacific Star arriving at Yasawa-I-Rawa yesterday.

Last year Karmac started a thread where one can can post a link to his/her cruise photos.
Member MsMinx suggested we set up a similar thread for videos, so here it is. This way all videos are here in one spot.
And all the current posters can look at them again if they wish without having to search through threads.
Happy posting.
Thanks for this. I'll start posting here from now on.
BTW if anyone wants to find any of my timelapse cruisecam vids quickly, just go to http://youtube.com/MagicTyger

my birth father and his wife sailed here on the archeo lauro(sp)as ten pound poms.
I came in 79 but cost a lot more than ten pounds. I was knocked back the first time which was a suprise as my dad was here and offering accommodation and i was a state registered nurse. second time (a month later) i was accepted. They didnt know what they nearly missed out on.!!
I came by qantas though and while i have been back many times could never live in the UK again.

I'm glad they accepted you after all :)
I think the ship you're referring to was the Achille Lauro:

Named after the Mayor of Naples.
She was hijacked by the PLF in 1985. It's a good thing you weren't on her then!

Are there any cruise junkies here who had their first cruising experience on an immigrant ship as a child?
I think the Fairstar was use to transport immigrants from the UK, wasn't she?
My family migrated to Oz from the UK in 1965 on board MS Ellinis, which was owned by Chandris. If anyone is interested, there are a couple of links to her here:

(That last link has some interesting history)
I was only 3 years old when I sailed on her (had my third birthday while she was in Adelaide), so my memories are pretty shady, but I'm sure it's part of the reason I'm interested in cruising now.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
Ten Pound Poms?
in P&O Cruises ( Australia )
