Rare rafinmd Posted September 3, 2020 #453 Share Posted September 3, 2020 My first ever transatlantic was on a freighter, the Canmar Courage in 2003. My second (and first westbound) was on the Crystal Symphony in 2006. I I have no photos from September 3 but this is the sun rising on September 6, the day we arrived in Reykjavik.

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted September 4, 2020 #461 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Is the third photo Tauranga NZ, but not a recent photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted September 4, 2020 #462 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I have a lot of September sunrises and sets but not every day. The only 2 consecutive days without photos are September 3 and 4. This is also from the 2006 transatlantic, sunrise on September 7. Roy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearesiamese Posted September 5, 2020 #464 Share Posted September 5, 2020 These pictures are mainly for Roy, but also for anyone else who was onboard the infamous #0205 in 2010. Note the date and or time of day as we progressed from a nice day ,,to the first(?) of 2 cyclones between Fiji and Sydney(sorry not in order and my other pics are too similar to take up any more real estate in this thread LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the only thing that can wobble 2020 back on its axis is you successfully completing a world trip? 😃 Vince 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a ride and a little excitement when my wife, an RN, saved a lady who was choking then had her heart stop right before the voyage ended --- on formal night no less. The Captain invited us to join him as we sailed into Sydney Harbor pre-dawn. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One does not like to hear the words "code blue" on a Crystal cruise:( 🙂 Did any of the dining room windows break on our cruise? It seems to me some windows may have broken, as well as pod(aakk) on my 2009 cruise from Auckland to Perth, after we left Melbourne. I had been forewarned by the friend of my dad's I had dinner with in Melbourne, about a pretty large storm coming in, but didn't think anything about it at the time.. I also had not previously known about the weather in the Australian bite being prone to bad weather since there was basically no land to break bad weather, waves etc from Antarctica to the coast of Australia in the GAB 🙂 We were an entire day getting into Perth ate as poor Serenity had to limp along to Perth on 1 pod. Another memorable cruise, rocky ride ,some broken dishes I think , as well as a major item-the pod! My dad had a PS and he and my sister got off in Melbourne and flew to Pert a few days early to spend some time with some dear old Rotary friends, and re-boarded in Perth. So I got to stay in the PS instead of my former 7036, for the rest of my trip, and boy do you feel movement so much more in the upper decks I did not know what to do with a butler who was very nice but actually seemed a bit sad that I didn't have more for him to do LOL so I had him do just a couple of things. The room attendants put my dad's computer, printer, wine bottles etc on the floor in his closet and the bottles between the cushions of the sofa of the living room, to ride out the storm.. I am grateful he was not on the ship for this portion of the world cruise, as it got rough in some ways worse than # a year later, and likely would have fallen.bdown...
