Yes, but it's a classic example of why not to book early flights after a cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare arxcards Posted April 10 Author #56 Share Posted April 10 Ovation has skipped Picton to get a head start back to Sydney. They have headed north to circle the worst of the seas, but are still cruising at 20 knots into a gale with 4.5m seas. Their original schedule would have had them traversing 9 metre seas tomorrow night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted April 11 Author #57 Share Posted April 11 Even though Ovation had a major direction change, they have still been in 6.5 metre plus waves for most of the day. It should start to improve for them overnight. Majestic is still listing Picton as her next port, .She has headed south to circle the rough conditions, but the longer she stays on this track, the more it looks like they are hoping to do Milford Sound as a substitute. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted April 11 #58 Share Posted April 11 Well I hope passengers on both ships can get decent sleep and make port without anyone obtaining injuries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted April 13 #62 Share Posted April 13 Majestic is having a fairly rough ride across the Tasman. Friends are on her and reckon a wave hit their balcony on deck 11 last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marrying-up with BOM data, they were encountering 6 metre waves last night. There is a difference between a wave and bow wash/spray that is thrown up when pitching down into the swell. They should have a much more pleasant night tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
