Bon Voyage to those on QM2/QV today

[Host Hattie]

If you're leaving Southampton on the World Cruises or a segment, have a wonderful time.

There's a bit of a different view of QM2 in Southampton today from the Cruise Cam live stream on the Solent Ships YouTube channel since she's at the QE II terminal today.

 

 

I understand the Solent Ships YouTube channel is going to show the fireworks display which is apparently planned to start in less than two hours at 16:45 this afternoon. Here's a link to the stream for that coverage which is set to start at 16:40.

Update on the fireworks from one of the Blue Spanners on the Solent Ships YouTube channel:

"WEATHER PERMITTING - The latest information is Fireworks for QM2 from Dock Head area @ 1745, the barge will then move up towards Moorhead Buoy ready for Queen Victoria's departure"

 

The stream still appears to be scheduled to start at 16:40 as of now. The latest info should be in the chat and commentary for that stream.

Good show for the first fireworks display despite the weather. More to come we're told.

[Host Hattie]

Missed the first set of fireworks but enjoyed those 

[bluemarble]

Here's a capture from the second round of fireworks. QV is heading out to sea. QM2 is still alongside at the QEII terminal. This is a capture from the Netley Cam stream on the Solent Ships YouTube channel.

 

Bon voyage to all those on board!

And she's underway once more. How caring to allow the passengers a good nights sleep. 😁
