Just checked the cam and their luck is holding ...the seas are as smooth as....so far.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted November 9, 2012 Author #56 Share Posted November 9, 2012 They are due in Fiordland tomorrow, Sunday , and I think their run of good luck may have ended. There is a severe weather warning out for Fiordland, :eek: so we will have to wait and see if Sea Princess makes it into the Sounds this time. Its a shame , as the weather down there has been glorious for the last 2 weeks. Oosterdam had a perfect run through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted November 10, 2012 #57 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Thanks David, I do hope they get in. We missed the Fjords on Regal Princess in 2007, due to BIG seas after Dundedin. Hope to see the Fjords on Celebrity Solstice in early March. (Is it Fiords or Fjords?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted November 10, 2012 Author #58 Share Posted November 10, 2012 (Is it Fiords or Fjords?) As far as I know , both are correct. Fjord , is the Norwegian spelling Fiord , is the English spelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted November 10, 2012 Author #59 Share Posted November 10, 2012 They have made it into the Fiords, the sun is shining and the waterfalls are playing. Unfortunatetly the cam is not updating.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6andy6 Posted November 10, 2012 #60 Share Posted November 10, 2012 They have made it into the Fiords, the sun is shining and the waterfalls are playing. Unfortunatetly the cam is not updating.. Maybe the fjord/fiord/ford/forde :D walls are not allowing line of sight for the satellite uplink ( if its anything other than directly overhead).

NSWP Posted November 10, 2012 #61 Share Posted November 10, 2012 As far as I know , both are correct.Fjord , is the Norwegian spelling Fiord , is the English spelling. Thanks David, great shots too of the Fiords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkmw Posted November 11, 2012 #63 Share Posted November 11, 2012 we have come out of the 3 sounds, the seas were smooth but once leaving Dusty Sound the seas are a bit choppy and tomorrow's temperature is going to be a cool 15 degress....on the main deck was very cool whilst going thru the sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipper133 Posted November 11, 2012 #64 Share Posted November 11, 2012 As far as I know , both are correct.Fjord , is the Norwegian spelling Fiord , is the English spelling. Australian Spelling is "Holdven" :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaznjo Posted November 11, 2012 #65 Share Posted November 11, 2012 just thought I would let you know we have a couple of friends on this cruise... our friends who got on the Adelaide are writing a blog... http://ausjackaroo.blogspot.com.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted November 11, 2012 Author #66 Share Posted November 11, 2012 After Fiordland , the next port of call is Wellington. I was wondering which side of the South Island they would travel up, so checked the cams this morning. One site has the scheduled path up the west coast, direct to Wellington, but on checking the Live AIS site , Sea Princess was just off the Taiaroa Heads at Dunedin and appeared to swinging in to meet up with another vessel.She had also slowed down to 9.5 knots. Perhaps another medical evacuation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmw Posted November 12, 2012 #67 Share Posted November 12, 2012 we have had another pleasant day at sea today, the seas have been quite calm again, we have dropped the pilot and lecture off near Dunedin early in the morning.....no medical evacuation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
