| Brilliance of the Seas, Sea Princess (II), QE2 & Independence of the Seas | |||||||||
| A busy day in Southampton on the 26th April 2008. The QE2 was coming to the end of her shortened refit and was due to be moved back from 105 to 38/9 between 5.15-6.15pm. Sea Princess was back for her final season here, sailing at 5pm and Brilliance of the Seas had ended a transatlantic crossing before heading to Hamburg for a refit. Independence of the Seas was going nowhere until the 27th when she would embark on a short jolly but this night was hosting the 15th birthday party of Virgin Radio where there would be a live broadcast from the ship between 6-10pm. Brilliance was originally due to sail at 11am which was changed to 11.30am so, in the hope she would sail up to Western Docks to turn around thus passing her newer sister, we headed for Town Quay on an absolutely glorious day despite being a bit nippy in the breeze. | |||||||||
