Fireflyuk Posted April 6, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Ventura arrived for the first time in Southampton this morning. At first it looked like it was going to be in a snowstorm but the snow did stop and the sun tried its best to break through! Here are a few pictures: Ventura passes Aurora on her first visit to Southampton The traditional fireboat welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monocled Mutineer Posted April 6, 2008 #9 Share Posted April 6, 2008 The sun came out for Ventura as she started to make her turn to lie portside at the Mayflower. Lots like us turned up to see. Impressive site. She is very tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelly@ Posted April 7, 2008 #18 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks for posting some great photos! We have actually written a story about Ventura's arrival and used a photo from FireflyUK. You can see it here: http://www.cruisecritic.co.uk/news/news.cfm?ID=2490 Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timetravellers Posted April 8, 2008 #19 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Love the photos. We were in Southampton for her arrival and watched her arrive from Mayflower Park. In the afternoon, we took the Harbour Tour from Ocean Village and the sun came out and we got some fantastic close up pictures. Haven't got a clue how to get my photos onto the forum so I've put them on my Picasa website. Please see http://picasaweb.google.com/gailoswald/Ventura/ with close up views of balconies.

soblue Posted April 10, 2008 #24 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Just wished the sun was out. Sorry I haven't given them a little photoshop sharpening and smarting up! But busy at work. Down again in Southampton April 22nd to see the three Cunard Queens together again, which will be my second time. Hoping for a sunny day of course Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
