It will be interesting to see what the blogs say to why they missed Thorshavn.

 

They are now on their way to New York, USA

 

Now they have about a week at sea!!

from Westbury Travels Blog....

 

Faroe Islands NO GO! We arrived in the bay off the port at Torshavn just before 8.00a.m. but captain made a decision not to go into the port. Tried to anchor but no good! Even if we did anchor OK he said it was too rough to have tenders take all the passengers in. It was blowing around 37 knots and blowing us into the port and he couldn't safely get the ship into such a small port with such high winds. It was 11 degrees and you could hardly see anything, very pea soupy!!! Captain Bill said the ship and passengers were his first priority and safety paramount (thank god for that!d)- so we will now be 7 days at sea!! BOO WHOOO!! The fog horns are going off about every 3 minutes. Was so looking forward to seeing some of the Faroe Islands

Has anyone here been to or heard of Thorshavn before??

 

This must be a new stop for Princess

 

We were in Thorshaven last year on the Crown Princess....lovely place and we did a local tour on a sail ship around the local bay. Don't agree with their annual slaughter of dolphins in the bay though.....very nasty if see it on youtube.

This is not a new stop for Princess. We docked there in 2007 on the Grand while on the Viking cruise. Very interesting place. Loved the houses with sod roofs. they also had lovely botanical gardens, cruised to Iceland, Greenland (had to miss Newfoundland due to tail end of hurricane) then onto New York.

Just heard from our friends onbaoard that they're expecting bad weather ahead enroute to New York.

 

Thry had 40knot winds at the Faroe islands.

Hello Jill, we have friends on board also. Brisbane folk. Was a shame they missed Torshaven. The weather in the North Atlantic can get very choppy but by now everyone who sailed from Sydney should be 'old salts'. Regards Lorri H.

I was just about to say I hope they have a good crossing of the North Atlantic, as it is know to get bad weather and can be rough.

If your an early bird in Australia / New Zealand and want to see the Sea Princess leaving New York in the morning,

 

she meant to leave New York at 6pm New York Time which is 8:00am Sydney / Brisbane (AEST) Time or 10:00am NZST
