Gaznjo Posted August 4, 2015 #428 Share Posted August 4, 2015 those on board would be so excited at the moment... I think at the next stop is where they disembark for machu.... from the blogs there are 280 from the ship going and I think the cruise critic roll call has 2 groups doing it privately .... ahhh only 2 years to go for us...

Gaznjo Posted August 4, 2015 #430 Share Posted August 4, 2015 check out the cams for the new project... also click on the panorama view... looks amazing... I am sure that curve in it is only the wide screen camera LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted August 4, 2015 Author #431 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Here she comes. Lining up for the lock nearest the cam. Should go straight through with no hold ups or waiting . It always amazes me how they have the timing worked out spot on.. Edited August 4, 2015 by Kiwi Kruzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaznjo Posted August 4, 2015 #432 Share Posted August 4, 2015 David after doing the river cruise last year and going through over 60 small locks you still can't help but be excited by them... one of the most memorable one was the 80ft lock... you went in and the walls seem to go for ever..... then you go up and up and up .... :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Kruzer Posted August 4, 2015 Author #435 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) A close up of getting ready to drop the rope so they can be towed through the lock... The expansion cam seemed to be focused on the ship and is giving a selection of close ups. Edited August 4, 2015 by Kiwi Kruzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you keep watching once they are through they will also pass under the Bridge of the Americas, which looks like a replica of the Auckland Harbour Bridge.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
