Ovation of the Seas arrives Dunedin 18 Jan 2017

Ovation of the Seas sailing past the Albatross Colony at Taiaroa Heads which is at the entrance to Port Chalmers , Dunedin NZ. She has arrived a day early to overnight and hopefully avoid a "weather bomb" that is predicted to unleash its fury this evening.

Cool, thanks David.

Docked @ 4pm

Shorts off - jeans and jumper weather

It's a balmy +10 tomorrow with windchill to +3.

You'll be able to spot the locals; they'll be the ones in shorts and T shirt.

If you're up on the turret of Larnach Castle tomorrow make sure you hang on to your hat.

Good grief, lucky it is summer.:eek:

That weather has arrived I see, a nice day for staying in the bar.

And canny visitors will put sheepskin liners in their shoes, plus triple layers!

Alternatively, rather than going into Dunedin, just have lunch at the great pub at the next bay around from Port Chalmers.

I will have to remember that one for my next trip.:D

This was almost us last year. The weather was terrible, rained for days, until the day we arrived but beautiful on our day at Dunedin.

Gosh, that looks very wintery!

They are all freezing in Dunedin with 10 degrees and high winds.

Have just seen Seven Seas Voyager passing the city, will Ovation be leaving on time?

Colder than when we were there a couple of weeks ago... we have friends onboard and they have been commenting about the weather being a bit nasty today.

Yep, I think we were very lucky on our cruise considering the one before ours was weather affected (itinerary changes) as well.

At 8:31pm NZDT (6:31pm NSW) time, Ovation is still docked, but Celebrity Solstice has just left her berth.

Seven Seas Voyager is just waiting outside the heads for space in the port to come in!

Or for the pilot.

Pilot takes Solstice out, comes in with Voyager and then takes the Ovation out.

Ovation due out after nine now.
