GirlyCruiser Posted June 1, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Has anyone else noticed that Britannia is in Oslo a day early? Have just been looking through webcamsinnorway.com and came across her berthed on the Oslo cam. According to P&O's website she was meant to be in Kristiansand today and Oslo tomorrow. Maybe they have had to swap ports for some reason or maybe there has been poor weather at sea so they are there for the night. Hopefully that it is the only reason for Britannia being there and they have not had any other problems. Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipmiss Posted June 1, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 1, 2015 There were strong winds today and Britannia was unable to dock in kristiansand,so they have arrived earlier than scheduled in Oslo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirlyCruiser Posted June 1, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Thanks for that shipmiss. Glad its nothing major for everyone on board. I guess that is one of the hazards of a such a tall ship being unable to dock due to the wind. I imagine everyone onboard is enjoying the extra time in Oslo. Sam.

Scorpio41 Posted June 1, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 1, 2015 She is the worst ship we have been on and suffered in the cross winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thejuggler Posted June 1, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 1, 2015 A ship the size of Britannia will have a 'sail' area of 3-4 acres. Thats a lot of area for wind to act against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticalmother Posted June 1, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I gather Kristiansand has a narrow entrance to the harbour and is difficult to get into if windy. We didn't get in there a few years ago, similar time of year but on the QV . We just had an extra day at sea listing one way and then the other around the North Sea! Trouble is we had just come from Oslo so wasn't much point in going back there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisefan2012 Posted June 13, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I`ve just come off Britannia today (beautiful ship) We couldnt dock in Kristiansand because of something to do with wind... I was half asleep when the captain came on the bing bong to say We did however sail up to Oslo and overnight there instead Had a FABULOUS time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
