Great shot . Thanks for posting.

Shame they did not toot...perhaps they had already been introduced...:D:D

 

LOl, yes, etiquette requires an introduction before tooting is allowed.:p

That's where we were lucky when we passed by Cook's Endeavour replica in 2012. I have the video of us passing them, someone on the Endeavor took a video of them passing the QM2, and a hovering helicopter took a photo of both ships passing each other. The Endeavour loaded a cannonball at us, and the QM2 sounded her horn. Priceless!

Amazing photos! The QM2 looks even more impressive when compared to the Endeavour!! :D

I suppose it would be compared canoes of the indigenous Australians and islanders and such when the original endeavour and such first sailed by. Although scary instead of impressive may have been more the word.

The Endeavour looked splendid from my position :p.

They have arrived in Kota Kinabalu after their transit through the Spice Islands.

 

[Kiwi Kruzer]

Having been out of range of Marine Traffics radar tracking they are now back in busier waters. They have just past Taipei as they head to the congested shipping lanes around Shanghai where they will be tomorrow...(Sat).

 

 

[Kiwi Kruzer]

The Marine Traffic radar is showing them docked in Shanghai.....:):)

local time 4am....so they arrived nice and early and no fog or river traffic to contend with.

Other thing of interest is that Quantam of the Seas must have been there yesterday as it show up as having left .

Some on board had been wary of not getting into Shanghai and I believe it has been missed in the past.

They are all set for a great day, all be it a bit cooler than their last port of call.

 

The lights of Shanghai from the bridge cam....no fog so far

 

 

[Pushka]

The 4am arrival sounds about right. We were supposed to enter the channel at midnight and its a four hour transit. But we had to anchor out because of fog. Finally got the entry pass at 8am for a midday arrival. Too late for our excursions.

My friends have organised a private guide for the day. They were unsure of what time to meet him and worried they may miss out....but it all looks good...and least as far as we can tell when only relying on the net.:)

Hope Stu gets out and about. Shanghai will be a highlight of the cruise.

The cruise wharf must be huge. Heres a shot from the aft cam on Costa.

Looks like there is room for another 2 ships

Currently following Regents Seven Seas Voyager as they head for Hong Kong. They will be there tomorrow . Another turnaround day for some. One of the sectors ends in HK while others are staying on until Singapore.:)

 

 

[Kiwi Kruzer]

Just sailed into Hong Kong Harbour and docked . Local time 4am Tues 29th March

 

 

 

[Pushka]

Thats an early arrival. I think ours was around 8am so we could watch the arrival through the narrow river in daylight.

They have just arrived off the coast of Laem Chabang for a day in Thailand.

A bit like Ho Chi Min City , in as much as Bangkok is a long drive away from the port.
