World cruise pacific princess:Blog.

They have arrived in Honolulu...

Pago Pago today

In Suva today. Docked behind Sun Princess.

They have struck a wet day in the Bay of Islands today

Thanks David for posting the photos.

I wonder how many north Americans enjoyed seeing the Sun Princess in Suva. It might have brought back fond memories of sailing on Sun Class ships many years ago.

I have been reading the blog, but mainly port stuff, not much about onboard.:halo: But she is a lovely little ship, did 3 weeks on her in 2005, Sydney to Japan.

Bit of a washout for them today in Auckland..

Arriving early in Sydney on Valentines Day ...

Arriving in Fremantle, from the port cams....

Thanks David

Interesting to compare the itineraries of both current world cruises to Australian ports - Amsterdam and Pacific Princess.

Interesting to compare the itineraries of both current world cruises to Australian ports - Amsterdam and Pacific Princess.

Both lovely ships. Amsterdam was specifically built for World cruising. Out of the two I would prefer Amsterdam , for a long cruise , as she has a bit more room .

The ships usually dock the other way round in Fremantle, but the port cam shows the fuel barge alongside , so they must be docked that way for refuelling. Guess they will take quite a bitof fuel on board.....

They are now cruising between Cochin and Mumbai. The bridge cam has been blank for several days. Lets hope it comes on again soon.

Must say I am enjoying the newsy and chatty daily reports from the blog as they remind of all the different activities that can be organised when you are on a long voyage rather than a short cruise.:D

The cam has been off since Mumbai so we missed a shot from Dubai. Now at Abu Dhabi.....next stop Aqaba after 5 days at sea transiting pirate alley.

They are well on their way and have come through the Suez Canal and are supposed to be in Santorini today. AIS shows them circling and then sailing on to Corfu ' Wonder why they missed Santorini?

Too rough for tendering even using the local Greeks and their boats, as they have to do there, union rules. Missing their next port too. On to Corfu now.:halo:

Looks like winter is hanging on in the Med. If they did get ashore at Santorini they would probably have found everything closed.

They missed Santorini for no reason. The weather was good enough for the tenders to take people ashore. By the way, everything is open. I know because I am on the island.

Someone on board, this blog actually, reported the Greeks who operated their own tenders declined to service the ship due to rough seas. Union rules there, ship's have to use local boats, not ship's tenders. I have been into Santorini a couple of times on Arcadia and Ruby Princess, we had to use local boats as tenders.

BTW, welcome to CC, I note your first post.:halo:

They are getting a good look around as they zig zag their way up the Adriatic to Venice. I am enjoying the blog and reading about all the destinations they are visiting.
