You must have many happy memories of cruises with them. Thank you, I have great memories. We did Arcadia, Sydney to Southampton in 2012 via Africa - about 6 weeks, that was great. Also Arcadia in the Med, Aurora to Canada/New England across ye olde Atlantic and Canary Islands on Oriana. For any of you mob out there who have not tried P&O UK, give it a go, yes, as good as Princess international cruising. I am sure the British ships of P&O UK, Cunard will be out here again from next year, hop a ride to England's green and pleasant land and spend some time there. After the Arcadia half worldie we spent a month in UK driving around, England, Scotland, Ireland. And plenty of these.

My first trip overseas was two half worldie cruises with 9 months in between in UK and Europe. That trip set the benchmark for all future cruises.

NSWP Posted June 27, 2020 #606 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Thanks for update, I believe the authorities are only permitting one or two ships a week to unload crew at Manila. Hence the buildup of the shipfest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi_cruiser Posted June 28, 2020 Author #612 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Manila Bay Cruise Ship Update - 28th June 2020: Manila Bay got some more new arrivals this week: Viking Orion, Silver Muse Costa Mediterranea and Zuiderdam. Ovation of the Seas was missing Manila Bay, so she is back 😎. The biggest news of the week is Queen Elizabeth said good bye to the Manila Bay ships and is currently on her way to Singapore. There is various reports going around Facebook that Queen Elizabeth is heading back to Southampton, UK, but we will wait and see what happens with her when she gets to Singapore..... In my option, she is going to join the rest of the cruise ships at anchor at the Singapore outer Port limit. Crystal Serenity has also left Manila Bay and she is now off Port Klang, Malaysia. Ships by Cruise Line at anchor in Manila Bay: Princess: Golden Princess. Crown Princess. Royal Princess. Sun Princess. Sea Princess. Majestic Princess. Sapphire Princess. Ruby Princess, Pacific Princess Island Princess P&O Australia: Pacific Dawn Pacific Aria Pacific Explorer Carnival: Carnival Spirit Carnival Panorama Costa: Costa Neoromantica. Costa Atlantica Costa Serena Costa Venezia Holland America: Noordam. Volendam. Nieuw Amsterdam Rotterdam Royal Caribbean International: Voyager of the Seas Dream Cruises: Norwegian Joy Other: Caledonian Sky While I was doing the above screen shot Volendam went incognito, so the ship marked "[Sat-Ais] " is the Volendam and the ship marked "Zudm 13" is the Zuiderdam. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
