jaydee6969 Posted November 3, 2021 #1 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Quick screen grab of Azura heading back to Southampton after her dry dock in Hamburg. Taken from the new stream of Ahoy Shipmate youtube channel. A lot of you have probably seen clips of his previous channel Solent Ships. You may not be aware that ABP had requested an immediate stop of all streaming of ships coming and going. If you can help, there is a petition at the following link. https://www.change.org/p/abp-southampton-solent-ships-and-ahoy-shipmate-youtube-channels?redirect=false 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's mainly the 'snub aft end'. The Royal Class like Britannia at least look more sleek/elegant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which...in the latest release of cruises I didn't see her repositioning cruise from Valetta to Tenerife. Just shows a final roundtrip Valetta cruise, followed by round trip Tenerife a couple of weeks later. Would have something we might have been interested in for the right price. Or maybe I've missed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does seem much too early for another refit, I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that, it says that Azura will have a 15 day dry dock before starting her winter season, so that's probably why. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like TerrierJohn and Wowzz I thought that was a bit early following this years dry dock. Maybe this years dry dock couldn't squeeze everything in as they were concentrating on her maritime MOT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molecrochip Posted November 4, 2021 #17 Share Posted November 4, 2021 The next dry dock will already have been scheduled based upon an anticipated April 2020 dry dock. Also, there is no transatlantic from Barbados back to Southampton next Spring. Azura is repositioning direct from Barbados to Valletta. If I recall, you can break the cruise somewhere like Malaga. So 28 November is her last appearance in Southampton for at least 3 years. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
