Aurora in Funchal

[davecttr]

I just noticed Aurora is not due in Funchal until 22.45 this evening. AidaStella, Borealis and Queen Victoria are berthed and Vasco de Gama and Mien Schiff Herz are in the anchorage. Marine Traffic now shows Queen Victoria leaving the berth and Marella Explorer approaching about 6km offshore so maybe berthing. Is Aurora staying overnight? I notice that Borealis is scheduled to leave at 23.59!

 

edit - Borealis has now left as well

Mein Schiff Herz is berthing along the mole and Marella Explorer appears to be doing so as well. Herz will become Marella Voyager next summer. As Celebrity Mercury and Galaxy they are sister ships. Aurora is hanging about 80nm offshore. She better get a move on or they will miss the sparklies

Some ships merely approach Funchal, see the fireworks then leave.
