Oriana (II), Sea Princess (II) & Oceana (II)
After the recce in the morning we all went down to the marina in the afternoon for the departures.  Oriana was in QEII, Sea Princess in City and Oceana in Mayflower.  Sea Princess had originally been changed to 4.45pm but then annoyingly returned to 5pm.
Sea Princess did lifeboat drill at 4.15pm actually cast off and moved first just before five complete with tug attached to the stern.  But then Oriana spoiled things by following a few minutes later meaning Sea Princess had to wait for her to shift it!  Oceana was still bunkering.  There was a lot of blasting between them all.
