I done two cruises with PO UK. Very good experience. British style cruising traditional without all the formalities of Curnard.

You have always been a good advertisement for P&O UK.  You must have many happy memories of cruises with them.

Thank you, I have great memories.  We did Arcadia, Sydney to Southampton in 2012 via Africa - about 6 weeks, that was great.  Also Arcadia in the Med, Aurora to Canada/New England across ye olde Atlantic and Canary Islands on Oriana.  

 

For any of you mob out there who have not tried P&O UK, give it a go, yes, as good as Princess international cruising.  I am sure the British ships of P&O UK, Cunard will be out here again from next year, hop a ride to England's green and pleasant land and spend some time there. After the Arcadia half worldie we spent a month in UK driving around, England, Scotland, Ireland. And plenty of these.

My first trip overseas was two half worldie cruises with 9 months in between in UK and Europe.  That trip set the benchmark for all future cruises.  P&O Chusan

Thanks for update, I believe the authorities are only permitting one or two ships a week to unload crew at Manila.  Hence the buildup of the shipfest.

Le Soléal who is currently docked in Tahiti has been a busy ship:

Manila Bay Cruise Ship Update - 28th June 2020:

 

Manila Bay got some more new arrivals this week: Viking Orion, Silver Muse Costa Mediterranea and Zuiderdam.

 

Ovation of the Seas was missing Manila Bay, so she is back 😎.

 

The biggest news of the week is Queen Elizabeth said good bye to the Manila Bay ships and is currently on her way to Singapore. There is various reports going around Facebook that Queen Elizabeth is heading back to Southampton, UK, but we will wait and see what happens with her when she gets to Singapore.....

 

In my option, she is going to join the rest of the cruise ships at anchor at the Singapore outer Port limit. 

 

 

Crystal Serenity has also left Manila Bay and she is now off Port Klang, Malaysia.

 

 

 

Ships by Cruise Line at anchor in Manila Bay:

 

Princess:

• Golden Princess.
• Crown Princess.
• Royal Princess.
• Sun Princess.
• Sea Princess.
• Majestic Princess.
• Sapphire Princess.
• Ruby Princess,
• Pacific Princess

P&O Australia:

• Pacific Dawn

Carnival:

Holland America:

• Noordam.
• Volendam.
• Nieuw Amsterdam
• Rotterdam

Royal Caribbean International:

• Voyager of the Seas

 

Dream Cruises:

• Norwegian Joy

Other:

• Caledonian Sky

While I was doing the above screen shot Volendam went incognito, so the ship marked "[Sat-Ais] " is the Volendam and the ship marked "Zudm 13" is the Zuiderdam.

[Kiwi_cruiser]

The ships gone to sea to make water are: Norwegian Joy, Pacific Explorer, Carnival Spirit, Rotterdam, and Caledonian Sky

Great job Stu, just one correction if I may. Cruise line for Norwegian Joy should read Norwegian Cruise Line (or NCL). No connection to Dream Cruises.
