Hi everyone. On the 25th of September i am going back to the UK on the Pride of Rotterdam/Hull once again. The return journey will be on the 6th October. Picking up new car.

Since i have already got all the photos i want, this topic will be open for you to request pictures of/around the ship. When the pics have been taken i will upload and PM them to you personally for you to keep as your own

Any requests?

No, it's fromm the P&O website

Hi Nathan,

please do you have a link on the P&O website where you find this pictures ?

The only photo I found on poferries.com or pofreight.com were only pictures from the bars or the cabins, which don't interest me at all

and your post on imageshack is too small, I'd like to see bigger images of that bridge !

Thanks,

Denis

Hi Denis. Here you can take a 360 degree Virtual tour around most of the P&O Ships:

You select the route and location and you can look around the ship

Absolutely no problem

Hi all, Yesterday we e-mailed P&O requesting a bridge tour, they have replied and they are contacting the captain after we give our reference number and details!

Wish me luck

Nathan, i think any kind of photo's would be appreciated

A pic that i made when the Pride of Rotterdam passed us at the Humber.

NathanC · « **Reply #13 on:** July 30, 2008, 18:30:40 »

Beautiful pic

If it happens, i'll take bridge pics

EDIT: What date was that taken Ballast?

Ballast · « **Reply #14 on:** July 30, 2008, 18:39:25 »

June 25 when she departed from Hull in the evening.

NathanC · « **Reply #15 on:** July 30, 2008, 18:40:18 »

Considering what is on P&O's own website, I feel that I can post the following. On the first picture, I am stood just infront of the console, so have about 7ft of bridge behind me. Shows the size of the bridge. Photos are of the Pride of Hull.

I am currently working on a feature for my website showing some of the photos taken from the bridges of the Pride of York and Pride of Bruges. The old North Sea Ferries ships that were built for the Rotterdam route. The pictures are of the ship passing through the narrow lock.

NathanC · « **Reply #19 on:** August 01, 2008, 19:54:13 »

Nice pictures - i am eagerly awaiting a reply from P&O to see if my bridge visit request has been accepted. I have sent my booking reference to the head office, and they are talking to the captain about it - we will wait and see!

Captain Best · « **Reply #20 on:** August 01, 2008, 19:56:01 »

we should hope the captain is a very kindfull. not a angry and grumpy person

NathanC · « **Reply #21 on:** August 01, 2008, 19:57:45 »

I hope so

Tugboat: "Do you require tug assistance sir?
Captain of PoR: "NO! CAN YOU READ?! LOOK AT THE "NO TUG" SYMBOLS DOWN MY SIDE! ARE YOU BLIND> STAY AWAY FROM MY SHIP!"

By the way, the Pride of Hull is the ship on the night i am sailing, so thats the one i may see the bridge of.

NathanC · « **Reply #23 on:** August 01, 2008, 20:10:39 »

Yes, the only difference is name (and amount of Rust

) so they are identical interior. I will be sending the bridge pics to VSTEP if it happens, then they may improve it.

Captain Best · « **Reply #24 on:** August 01, 2008, 20:15:40 »
