Brandis Posted April 25, 2004 #76 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I also had the understanding that this is only a temporary solution until the new cruise terminal is built... I guess I will find out soon... :-) Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globaliser Posted April 25, 2004 #77 Share Posted April 25, 2004 [B]madforcruising[/B], thanks for those photos. There are some more from yesterday's arrival on [url="http://www.schiffsphoto.de/HTM/Cruise/Jewel.htm"]this page[/url], which has been updated to include them. All now duly added to my collection of [I]Jewel[/I] pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spajke Posted April 26, 2004 #78 Share Posted April 26, 2004 It seems that the Jewel departed from a different part of the port this evening. I managed to save some photos from another webcam. Can somebody help me and tell me how you can include them in these messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madforcruising Posted April 26, 2004 Author #79 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Sorry Spajke, can´t help you on this one. I tried to figure this out too. I saw her too. She left the Grasbrook terminal around 05:00pm I saw her on the capsandiego webcam around 05:20pm and app. one hour later passing the Welkomm Höft. Thanks Globaliser for the additional photos. I save them all.

Brandis Posted April 26, 2004 #82 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Mad, Thanks! Luggage is already packed and tomorrow evening, we go to the airport to check-in the luggage. Our plane leaves Zurich on wednesday at 8 AM, so we should be in Hamburg around 9.30. Before boarding at noon we do a harbour tour. Really looking forward to it! It's our first balcony cabin too... :-) Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globaliser Posted May 8, 2004 #83 Share Posted May 8, 2004 One more series of (small) photos - from a Norwegian news source. (It's the news source that first reported the Customs fiasco over the duty-free sales on board the 1 May 2004 Oslo-Oslo short cruise.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globaliser Posted May 25, 2004 #85 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Just as I thought there could be no more "birth" photos, I discover a new site. I'm trying to keep these all on the same page, as I know that there is a cruiseclues.com link to this thread. From southamptonships.com:- Jewel's arrival from Oslo on 5 May Her departure on the overnight junket post-naming ceremony, 7 May Back in Southampton, preparing for her "maiden voyage" on 8 May Her departure on her second "proper" cruise on 15 May, together with P&O's Aurora If I may be forgiven:- My review of the 1-3 May cruise My photos from that cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globaliser Posted September 19, 2004 #87 Share Posted September 19, 2004 ... the Boston Globe publishes an article about her "birth":- Meticulous making and painstaking launch of a cruise line gemBy David Arnold, Globe Correspondent | September 19, 2004 PAPENBURG, Germany -- When Jewel of the Seas prepared for its inaugural paddle to the sea last spring, whistles blew, dock lines slackened, thousands of cameras flashed from ashore, and the ship went nowhere. For more than an hour, the behemoth just sat there in the comfy embrace of the Meyer Werft docks, coddled by a pair of tugboats in the late night rain of northern Germany. Timing was critical. The Meyer Werft yard in Papenburg is 40 miles up the tidal Ems River from the North Sea. Only the peak high tides of the full or new moon allow enough water to spring free a 15-story ship that, put on end, would spire five floors higher than the John Hancock Tower. Big boat, small river, and just 19 inches of clearance under the propellers in the best of circumstances. As one shipyard employee succinctly put it in German, ''This will be no time to hear 'oops' on the bridge." ... (Remainder of article at above link.)

goodml Posted September 19, 2004 #88 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Thanks for the link Globaliser. We're anxiously waiting for our December voyage and every new little bit of info is greatly appreciated. Thanks also for being one of the posters that has provided the most info about the Jewel.
