Kiwi Kruzer Posted January 2, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted January 2, 2018 They are in Tauranga today and then have 2 sea days to Dunedin. Unfortunately a massive storm is building over the Tasman and is due to hit midday on Thurs , ( tomorrow) so they may have a rough ride. The weather system is huge, Its the one that hit Northern NSW and SE Queensland and is moving down in a SE direction.It is predicted to have heaps of rain and cyclonic winds.

snoozer of the seas Posted January 3, 2018 #15 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I was on the Dec 7th sailing of ovation. We missed the sounds due to the weather, the ship being big and the captain cautious, he'll try and do an overnighter in Port Chalmers and book it home at top speed.

Yes, he was very cautious when we were on her and we didn't have any bad weather to contend with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney number 1 Sent from my iPhone using Forums Yep top four are pretty well right, I would likely have a few other ports like San Diego and New York in before Hong Kong and Singapore.

Stupindous Posted January 13, 2018 #21 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Here's a pic I took of Ovation, while waiting to cross the bridge into the tender port at Auckland on 2/1/18. What a great day that was! Beautiful city. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
