Kiwi_cruiser Posted February 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Today is a special day in Auckland, it's not very often you get to have two Coral-class ships docked together in a port, let alone here in New Zealand. Coral Princess and Island Princess docked in Auckland today: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewgood Posted February 9, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I'm sure the captains and some of the crew will have a lovely day catching up with one another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted February 9, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I wondered how many more times they will share a port as Island navigates through our waters. Off-hand, I know of Cairns on 23rd Feb, which will be nice to have them sharing the same wharf. Going by schedules, they will also pair-up in Tauranga tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted February 10, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Hey @Kiwi_cruiser How many ships call in New Plymouth? Weather permitting, Island Princess is meant to be calling there on Wednesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzBuzzen Posted February 10, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Looks like Island is showing its butchered aft to the city.They should have swapped ends, Cheers, Buzz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have only had one ship call in to New Plymouth, so far this session, which was Europa 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they escorted each other down the coast from Auckland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Traveller Posted February 20, 2023 #11 Share Posted February 20, 2023 The farewell from Tauranga was memorable. We were docked behind the Island Princess that's on its world cruise out of LA. We left first, and when we pulled out almost alongside the Island, the ship played the Love Boat theme on its horn. Passengers on both ships waved and hollered. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted February 20, 2023 #12 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Inseparable. Coral after turnaround day, Island after a day at Tangalooma. Both are headed for another meeting at Cairns on Thursday - Coral via Willis Island, Island via Airlie Beach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
