Title: P&O cruises 175th anniversary
Post by: Ralphy on July 04, 2012, 19:16:37
Yesterday was P&O Cruises 175th anniversary, to celebrate all seven of their cruise ships called at Southampton at the same time. They then left in the evening in a line in a spectacular event.
Gareth Edwards(A member of this Forum) came down to watch the event and was on a Red Eagle special cruise which went to greet the ships and to tour them while in dock, unfortunately it was a bit early for me so I decided on not going however he did get many pics.

Here are a selection of shots, all of them are available here (http://s832.photobucket.com/albums/zz249/AlexRalph/Cars/175th/).

These are not my pictures, they are Gareth's

They were also giving Bridge tours so there are some pictures of the bridge.

Great set of pics - shame the weather was so foul :/

Wonder if VSTEP will give us a more realistic bridge on the Red Eagle now...  :doh:

The little bunker alongside the Ventura; a good friend of mine from college is a cadet on there. It's a small world ;D...
