Oriana (II), Ocean Village Two, Queen Mary 2 & Liberty of the Seas
Frustration on the 24th April 2007.  Oriana and QM2 were both listed to sail at 5pm.  Ocean Village Two would then be moving from 46 to 106 between 6-7pm.  Lastly there would be 9pm fireworks followed by Liberty of the Seas departing at 9.30pm for a two night shakedown jaunt to Guernsey.  As usual with ships, nothing goes to plan but at least the mist cleared up!!
5pm came and went with no movement.  Finally around 5.20pm Oriana edged away from the berth and headed down Southampton Water.
