| Norwegian Epic & Crown Princess (II) | |||||||||
| NCL's brand new ship, Norwegian Epic, had been due to sail on a press and travel agent jolly at 6pm on the 22nd June 2010. Due to a problem with her propeller, she arrived in Southampton from Rotterdam five hours late instead of 10am. The jolly was subsequently cancelled while sea trials were scheduled for 1pm on the 23rd. We went down to the marina and bumped into Andrew Sassoli-Walker who was with his young son. This was the first time we'd actually met despite often being in the same places. There were a few people down to watch her sail, including a man who said he enjoyed this site. Hello! Epic began dropped her ropes as we began to talk so we had to go to the other side of the lock. Crown Princess was in Ocean Terminal, due to sail with my friend Julie and her husband Steve at 5pm. Epic had Bentley attached at the stern and blasted three times when she began to move sideways fifteen minutes late. | |||||||||
