Crystal Serenity, Celebrity Eclipse &Queen Victoria
On the 29th April 2010, Celebrity Eclipse returned from her short inaugural cruise with me onboard.  Our original arrival time was 7am but it was changed to 5.15am, the usual time for RCCL vessels cruising from here.  With us would be Crystal Serenity, making her first call for two years and my dad's favourite.  She was due for 8am and docking in Mayflower Terminal, but for some reason that was changed to 5am so would beat us in and in the dark!  Grrr!  Making up the trio at the later time of 7am from 6.30am was Queen Victoria, going into Ocean Terminal.  I was out on deck in the cold and mist feeling unwell so took some really crap photos.  We turned in the Middle Swinging Ground and docked as it gradually became lighter but mistier.
I decided to give QV a miss due to the length of waiting, weather and also not feeling great so went back to the cabin to try and sleep for a couple of hours.  I decided to go and try some breakfast in the Oceanview Cafe then headed out onto the deck for some pics of both ships.  Annoyingly a Grimaldi car carrier was docking at that very moment, beginning to block the view of Serenity!
