YouTube Video Descriptionโ
On a very early morning of the 20th of September 2017 I was waiting for the arrival of two MSC Cruise Ships coming into Southampton Docks. The first of the MSC Cruise Ships to make it's arrival was the 'MSC Fantasia' due to arrive at 06:30am from her last port of call Zeebrugge in Belgium having orginally started her voyage from Kiel in Germany on the 16th of September and is en route to her final destintaion port of Genoa in Italy for the 29th September 2017. She turned around just off Town Quay to dock port side at the Queen Elizabeth ll Cruise Terminal. When she departs later at 20:00pm her next port call is La Coruna in Spain. Next to make her arrival was 'MSC Preziosa' which was scheduled to arrive from her last port of call le Havre at the City Cruise Terminal for 07:00am after having left Southampton on the 13th September for a 7 - Night 8 Days roundtrip UK, Belgium, Netherlands, Germnay & France Cruise. As 'MSC Preziosa' passed by her sister ship 'MSC Fantasia' both ships gave a silent salute to each other by turning on and off their lights which I have never ever witnessed this happening before. Then she made a turn just off Town Quay to reverse back down to her berth at the City Cruise Terminal next to Mayflower Park. When she departs later at 20:00pm for a 7 Nights Northern Europe Cruise & her next port call is Zeebrugge in Belgium, returning back to Southampton on the 27th September.
