Princess Australia- Sea Princess World Cruise 2016

[MicCanberra]

Hi we are on the Sea Princess at the moment and yes we missed Warnemunde because of very high winds. The port closed and no vessels were allowed in or out. We are heading straight to Dover now for an extra day there. Angie

 

Thanks for the update, I had looked at the weather and it looked fine, doesn't show wind though.:o

Thats a nice surprise. With an extra day in Dover they may be able to take the train to London for the day.....:)

I would be very happy to get an extra day in Dover if I was on that ship. Happy Camper instead.

They are at Dover , not Southampton.;)

Yes I saw that on Angie and Paul's blog last night but too weary after tripping around Kent countryside to post on...have a good run around to Dover and we are so looking forward to boarding on Saturday. Made the mistake of visiting the huge Outlet Centre at Ashford yesterday and now have some more gear to ship back with us...thank goodness there is no weight limit!

According to 'Mr Google' 2 hrs 47 mins by car from Dover to The New Forest. Just under 3 hrs to Stonhenge. This of course is not taking traffic conditions into account. For Aussies that's just down the road.

The extra day in Dover was a good substitute despite missing the German port and the next itinerary isn't too bad either, I like transatlantics. All part of cruising I suppose.

Cheers, the harbour looks smooth. I like to see the castle lit up at night is awesome when in Dover port.

Nice place there and the celebrations would be awesome.

BTW Cobh was the last port for the Titanic on her journey across the Atlantic.:(

Whoa, if you are out and about the ship make sure you are holding on.
