Grand Princess, Celebrity Eclipse & Oceana (II)
The 10th July 2010 was a lovely day.  We were having a better summer than the past three years.  I'd arranged to meet my friend Jeff on Town Quay as he was down waving friends off on Grand Princess.  We were originally meant to meet for a coffee on the 7th April when Azura arrived, only my mum had a fall and I had to get home.  My mum had a fall on the 9th July and admitted so we wondered if I'd end up having to cancel again.  My dad and a friend told me to go because after the crap week I'd had, it would do me good.  So I caught the 2.40pm ferry after a lovely stroll down the pier, so I could watch Oceana and Eclipse too.  Grand was listed for 4pm but to date, each time they did that she never went at that time.  She was also annoyingly starboard as usual when docked there.  Oceana was the usual 4.30pm with Eclipse fifteen minutes later.  On the ferry Phil was telling me about this huge container ship, CMA CGM Christophe Colomb, he'd seen arrive the night before then told other passengers.  It's roughly the same size as Norwegian Epic so must have been something.
