Constellation makes a 360

[HarR]

Cruising on the HAL MS-Rotterdam out of Geiranger Norway. I noticed to my surprise the Constellation made a 360 in front of the famous 7 sisters waterfall.

How cool is that- captain gave everyone a view!

[ghstudio]

Yes it's very nice. Actually it's a relatively common practice to do this in scenic areas such as glacier bay, the antarctic, etc.

Great photo, thanks for sharing. We did not do this on the Infinity.

Gorgeous picture!! Thank you for posting:D

Awesome...thanks for posting.

we had a similar treat on Connie in the Saguenay, Canada when she first travelled the Cabada itin,. At one point the Captain also had alot of fun blowing the horn too

Have had the ship rotated like that in Milford Sound, New Zealand. What a treat!

Captain Tasos is the man! He loves to sound that horn. BTW, he's Greek.:D

Captain Tasos loves his "Donut Maneuver" :D

I posted a thank you on the HAL board. This is Cruise Critic at it's best when someone posts to share something of interest to another board:D

Without the thoughfulness of that HAL pax, HarR we would never see this beautiful picture of the Connie

We did this on the Infinity on 10th June :D it was great!

I hope it continued turning and did at least a 540 so it was able to come back out of the fjord and continue the cruise! ;)

That is very true. He once told me that he loves leaving ports where he needs to do a donut. OP: Thanks for the great picture and have a wonderful cruise.

Yeap, and he does it regularly in ports like Santorini for Sailaway and his home port of Athens apparently.

 

Awesome pic, thanks!

 

Happy sailing,

Thank you all for the kind words.

Prior to our cruise on Eclipse 2 years ago, this forum provided lots of helpful information. Glad I could do something back.

I'll give you a hint. Look at the time of the picture ;)

I agree!:) He has a great sense of humor, and he constantly tried to make sure the passengers were having the best experience possible.

That may be the nicest picture of Connie, that I've ever seen. Thank you to the OP for sharing it with us.

[shipfriend_max]

What an impressive pic!!!!!!!!

Favourite conutry with favourite class of ship!! :)

[Caribbean Chris]

Looking forward to our first cruise on the ship in Dec.

 

This reminds me of our Century Hawaii cruise last year when the captain did 360s as we cruised past the volcano late one evening. So great to see the red lava flow on the dark sea, and everyone out in deck had a chance to see it.

[Texed]

We are suppose to be at the same spot August 1st on Infinity. Thanks for posting the picture. :)

Just got off this sailing. In Geiranger, not only were we treated to the spectacular 360 in front on the Seven Sisters and the Suitor (with musical accompaniment) but we were the only ship in port that day (of at least 4 or more) that was able to "dock" using the new SeaWalk so we didn't have to tender in like everyone else. Kudos to Capt Tasos.

 

Thank you to the OP for the photo!
