Live from the Sun Princess

[Star-Man]

Looking forward to the video Star Man.

 

Photoshop is giving me some problems at the moment. Should have the animation done later today

[Star-Man]

As promised, one Sun Princess animation of her arrival in Fremantle. She certainly did the while thing slower than the smaller, more nimble Pacific Princess (Ive still got that one somewhere if you want to see it again)

 

 

Let each frame load, then it will play at proper speed

[Legs11]

Fantastic!! :eek: Great job!!

[SouthAussie100]

I'd be no good at that parking manouvre(?sp)....I can't even reverse park my car !

great to see, thanks Star-Man.

cheers

Many Thanks.

It is amazing to see it turn so easily in its own length.

[aussiedisneyfan]

Boy, she goes fast. :D

[kaseyoz]

Boy, she goes fast. :D

 

I got dizzy watching it:D :D again and again and again

[LouLou28]

Great work Star-Man! Loved it!:D

[AuzzieCruiser]

Great work as always Sam.;) :)

Perhaps there should be a worksop for us 'technically challenged'!!:p

Good one Sam!! Would be interesting if she turned that quickly in real time :eek:

[gooch47]

It was kind of close quarters on the turn. We watched it from our balcony.

 

Happy Thanksgiving to any Americans reading this! We had a traditional Turkey dinner on the menu. I had scallops, my hubby had buffalo. So much for standard fare.

 

Wonderful, wonderful time at Rottnest Island. We saw the little Quokkas. In fact, one sat under our table as we were eating lunch. The scenery was magnificent. I can't wait to see the photos on DH's laptop. We walked around after dinner and were amazed at the number of people who came out to see the ship. A darling little girl said to a woman near us, "I sure like your boat."

Yes, Rottnest is lovely... And the quokka's are so adorable!! Looking forward to visiting Rottnest again some time soon. We need to fit a trip to WA into our busy schedule.

I am glad that you are having a good cruise! :)

[Kiwi_cruiser]

Nice work Star-Man! :)

[Star-Man]

Just posting to get Kiwi Cruisers post to show.

 

And thanks for the comments on the animation guys. Wish i had the stamina to sit and download a days worth and put them together in photoshop, but that would take another 2 days :eek:

Nice pics of the Sun Princess entering Fremantle Harbour here at this link

You can get an idea of the size of the Sun Princess by comparing it to the dolphin jumping the bow wave in pic 17!

Hi Linda,

Sounds like you are having a great time, apart from the usual things that go wrong on a cruise.Trust you had a great time in Perth.

I was wondering with being in port for 2 days if Princess offerred any inland/overnight tours from the ship,or were all they just day tours.

The value of the internet was brought home to me yet again today when a postcard arrived in the mail from friends on board.It was posted in Darwin,telling about the anchor being stuck in the Whitsundays and I knew about it,(through reading the posting on the board) before their postcard arrived.

Your 2 day rest should get you ready for when you "turn the corner" and head across The Great Australian Bight.That should be lots of fun.

All the best.

hehe, is that tongue in cheek Kiwi Kruzer?? :D I would love to do a circumnavigation of Australia, but the ol' Bight is something that worries me lol.

No not all. Its just like the Tasman and Bass Straight

in fact when we cruised the Bight it was a smooth as glass.

It's not a real cruise if you don't feel the

"motion of the ocean"..........:eek:

[gooch47]

It was probably the cute little dolphin that escorted us all the way into port. My hubby got some fabulous video of him.

 

No, there were no overnights offered. We had hoped there would be so we could see more of the interior. But it didn't happen.

 

Yesterday we went to ... darn, senior moment again ... a city south of Fremantle where we toured their canals. It was supposed to be an "eco" cruise but all we got to see were extremely expensive homes. I asked my DH where we went wrong. The houses were fabulous. We also visited a Forest Heritage Center. But the best part wasn't even advertised. We stopped at a place for tea and scones. I was in 7th heaven.

 

Today we were at Bunbury. The tours were fine but the operators were extremely confused. We went one place we weren't supposed to (The Dophin Discovery Center) and missed the Gnomes. Tomorrow is Albany and we have another 9-hour tour to a tree-top walk.

[SouthAussie100]

glad to hear things have brightened up a bit for you Linda. I've never been there but I've heard that Albany is lovely. Lots of strawberries grown around that area apparently.

cheers

We're in South Australia, just crossed the "Bight" from Albany

to Adelaide. The internet has been down since before Albany.

 

We spent today touring wine country with two wine tastings and a fabulous lunch. But it was a very long day. So we cancelled our next tour in Melbourne which was THREE more wine tastings. We're wined out.

 

The crossing was quite smooth. A little rocky, but not too bad. We're going to attend the "Most Travelled Passengers" luncheon tomorrow. I understand there are only 80 Elite passengers on board. We have 230 days with Princess not counting this cruise.

Not much satellite coverage in that area it seems. The deckcam has been down too.

 

You should have a pretty smooth passage to Melbourne too!
