Oriana (II), Grand Princess, Independence of the Seas & Saga Ruby
Four glorious ships were in Southampton on the 23rd May 2009.  It was almost a carbon copy of the 9th with Saga Ruby replacing Oceana, plus Grand Princess and Oriana were in different berths.  Oriana was at the new Ocean Terminal this time while Grand Princess was in Mayflower, Ruby in QEII and Indy in the usual City.  Oriana and Grand were down to leave at 4.30pm, Indy at 4.45pm and Rubes 5pm.  We decided to try the ferry since with all these different times we were bound to get some decent shots.
We waited on the pier for Oriana only to see on VTS when I checked the phone she was now 4.45pm, Grand and Indy were the hour with Rubes 5.30pm.  With the Gruesome Twosome blocking the view it was hard to see when Oriana moved.  Just before 5pm she blasted lots and we knew she was at last.
