Rare MicCanberra Posted November 19, 2015 #151 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Picton today.. Lovely shot. Looks like better weather.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted November 19, 2015 #152 Share Posted November 19, 2015 So far Diamond has missed at least one port each cruise this season since arriving in Sydney. Unfortunately that is one of the down sides of cruising, while it is disappointing it is better to be safe. Hopefully it will only be the one port missed.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted November 19, 2015 Author #153 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I just realised there are 2 cams on Gondola Hill in Picton. Heres the shot looking into the town and you can see Diamond moored on the other side of the hill at the the log wharf.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesome girl Posted November 19, 2015 #154 Share Posted November 19, 2015 So far Diamond has missed at least one port each cruise this season since arriving in Sydney.

Hopefully it will only be the one port missed.:D It's just part of cruising, I was looking forward to Christchurch, but that's the way it goes. Also continues our record of missing a port every 2nd cruise on ave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Kruzer Posted November 20, 2015 Author #166 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Probably had to wait for the harbour pilot to wake up. The rocks and reefs at the entrance to Wellington Harbour are very dangerous....many the ship that has come to grief there. I think cruise ships would have some sort of time limit for entering and leaving. Enjoy your last port of call. The weather looks OK from the cams ...trust you are not getting the wind that "Wellywood" is famous for..:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a real thrill , you dont have to go to a fun park , just book a flight that lands at Wellington. :D However , looking at the cam , it appears the rain has set in for their last day.
