At around 3pm that afternoon the coach dropped us off at the city centre to let us explore. (Picture soon) At 6pm after enjoying dinner out we headed back to the ship to get ready for tonights deck party. In the background you can see the Seabourn Legend departing to Las Palmas. Also still alongside the ship is a fuel bunker, The ship required more fuel on this voyage as the captain mentioned, he had to run her engines on full for most of the first night & day in order to keep up to schedule in the Bay of Biscay due to strong winds annd large waves. A View from the ships Planet Bar. Each side of the bar extends over this side of the ship to give this fantastic view. Will post a day shot later on in the cruise.

Hey Guys, I wanted to share with you my Virtual cruise of the actual cruise I'm going on so I thought I'd create a topic, rather than spamming up the Screenshot topic. Ship: Azura Cruise Number: A325N Link: http://www.pocruises.com/Cruises/2013-14-cruises/Atlantic-Islands-A325N/?mode=overview Itinerary: 20 Oct 2013 Southampton - Great Britain 24 Oct 2013 Madeira - Portugal 25 Oct 2013 Tenerife - Spain 26 Oct 2013 Gran Canaria - Spain 27 Oct 2013 Lanzarote - Spain 29 Oct 2013 Lisbon - Portugal 01 Nov 2013 Southampton - Great Britain To save the hassel of rushing on the day of departure I decided to fly over the day before and Enjoy a day in Southampton before the Cruise. Once I checked in at the Hotel I decided to head to Town Quay to watch Arcadia depart. Day 1: On the day of departure to save us more hassel the hotel provieds a taxi/bus to the Cruise terminal. Enroute to the terminal we can see the ship docked at Ocean Terminal Ocean Terminal Things got pretty busy from here so on to departure! Seeing as all cruise ships tend to leave port at around 16:30, it was quite busy at the time as there were three ships leaving: Oriana, Azura (our Ship) & Celebrity Eclipse Red Jet 6 also sailed pasted us enroute to Southampton fom the Isle of White Passing Fawley power station Day 2: Today we are sailing through the great Bay of Biscay The Celebrity Eclipse just on the horizon ahead of us after passing in the night. She's enroute to the Azores before sailing to Madeira The SS United Queen also sailed past us later in the day while enroute to Dover More to come soon Hope you liked them! Robert
