"Grand Princess", "Independence OTS", "Azura" & "Aurora" depart from Southampton - 19/05/2012

Four large cruise ships graced Southampton Docks on Saturday 19th May 2012. Three belonging to Carnival UK. The first of the four ships to set sail at 16:00 hours was 'Princess Cruises' "Grand Princess" from Berth 38/The 'QEII' Terminal. Also, 'Royal Caribbean International's "Independence of the Seas" surprised everyone by leaving Berth 101/The 'City' Terminal thirty minutes earlier than planned. This ship usually departs at 16:30. Then at 16:30, "Aurora" cast off her moorings from Berth 106/The 'Mayflower' Terminal but had to go up to the Turning Point by the KGV drydock due to her being moored starboard-side to. Finally, whilst "Aurora" was turning, "Azura" departed from Berth 46/The 'Ocean' Terminal.
