All UK and Ireland medivacs are carried out by RÑLI or CG helicopters, sometimes both will be involved depending on situation.

Zeebrugge correct Nov 22 QM2 NL cruise somewhere in this video are the breakwaters at harbour entrance Zeebrugge departure (4).MTS

Absolutely and now many people's favourite.

It is clearly going to be different in the same way QV was different to QE2.

ten minutes previously the port would have been easy to identify this much visited port

Social media reports suggest QA is now 100% finished and today shipyard workers and their families are being invited on board as per custom. 2morrow being official acceptance.

picking up some overlanders I think

Indeed opinion based on ignorance is usually wrong.

these photos St Petersburg 2016 from QE illustrate clearly the difference made by berth position and wind direction wind was 45knots west more or less straight on QE beam note the slight list of the HA ship spray was felt on deck QV deck 10 the Viking and MSC ships got away with tug assistance perhaps with wind about 5 degrees on port bow it took 2 tugs to move the bunker barge away from QE we left the next morning in a flat calm and were a day late to Kiel which was a disembarkation and embarking port. comments at dinner and elsewhere that evening illustrated how easy it is to be critical without responsibility the many amateur captains on board were full of fanciful theories about the QE captain ability and otherwise as three ships the Viking and both QV and QM2 were delayed the wind was most likely the cause of the delay

katabactic effect air spiralling down from Table Mt often produces strong winds in harbour and narrow entrance channel AIS has Tenerife as destination.,

there is an interesting exchange of views between QV pax and Viking pax on the Viking forum

QV now approaching berth.

Exactly that happened on our corridor on QV when an overheated fan belt led to burning smell and some small amount of smoke.q Quickly sorted but ship wide announcement made.

All QA Southampton sailings for 24 appear to be on VTS cruise schedule.

Well sometimes I have been out and about at 0600 for example Stockholm arrival through the islands, fiord passage etc and/or early morning swim. I daresay some pax were up and about and would have heard the corridor announcement so an all ship announcement was correct as majortom10 states. In any case we don't have the responsibility of the safety of the ship and all on. boarrd. The captain does. In a different type of incident on QV off the NC we were in the theatre when a loud noise was heard creating a certain amount of panic amongst some. I thought correctly that bow thrusters were being used. The OOW had sighted was believed to be a body but reached turned out to be a large bulk of timber. The ship had turned almost 180° to investigate. An all ship announcement was made shortly after allaying any concern.

My understanding is acceptance is 18th and departure is 19th

VTS has her ETA as 1130 27th April City terminal moving to Mayflower 1900 28th maiden cruise departs 2115 3rd May assume fireworks display

Having been at sea professionally in large vessels that is standard. Guess the Sun headline if no announcement made and a passenger tells tabloid fire on xxxand the captain didn't tell us.

Because having been announced reassurance to all board is required that problem.is resolved.

A standard operational procedure

They bother because it is a legal requirement for ship to be dry docked st regular intervals for hull and underwater areas to be inspected and worked on as needed. It will also be a requirement for recertification & insurance.
