Oriana (II) & Silver Shadow
Despite the temperature being around 20 degrees on the 7th June 2007 and being cloudy it was also freezing cold and windy.  Looks can be deceptive!  Oriana was docked on 106 and Silver Shadow in 101.  Silver Shadow did look tiny after the giant Navigator of the Seas but at least was pointing the right way.  The 25,000grt Silver Shadow entered service in 2000 for Silversea Cruises and we occasionally get one of their ships visiting Southampton.  I had already seen the ship on Monday as we left Cobh on Navigator of the Seas and she was heading for it so it was nice to get her closer.
Oriana was due to leave at 5pm with Silver Shadow an hour later.  Oriana blasted once as she started to move out, followed by many more twice later.
