ALLURE OF THE SEAS MAKES UNUSUAL DEPARTURE FROM CITY CRUISE TERMINAL SOUTHAMPTON 14/07/20

The Royal Caribbean 'Allure of The Seas' had arrived into Southampton from Cadiz in Spain the previous day 13th July 2020 and she sailed out from the City Cruise Terminal Southampton on the evening of the 14th July at 19:28pm for a channel cruise and is due to arrive back in Southampton on the 22nd July. But what was unusual is that she had backed down to swing round just off of Town Quay before she could make her way out of Southampton, normally ships of her size will use the upper swinging ground to turn.
