It's always a special day when there are cruise ships in port and as I look out across Southampton Water this morning I can see three - Queen Mary 2, Crown Princess and Oriana. In the photo, you can see QM2 (with the red & black funnel), the white nose of Crown Princess, and the Hythe pier train in the foreground - Oriana is unseen in the distance. Cruise ships usually leave port in the late afternoon/early evening and I'll be out there on my balcony waving them off and hoping to hear a blast from their whistles as they pull away. QM2 is bound for New York, Oriana for Zeebrugge and Crown Princess for Scotland. It's such a beautiful day and Southampton Water looks very glamorous in the sunshine.
