Early in the morning of the 4th of May 2018 saw two P&O Cruise Ships arrive in the Port of Southampton, the 'Arcadia' & 'Ventura'. The first ship to make their arrival was 'Arcadia' she had been on a 15 Night round-trip Azores, Portugal & Spain Cruise, her last port of call was Gibraltar. Her estimated time of arrival was for 06:30am at the Mayflower Cruise Terminal. She was then quickly folowed by 'Ventura' she had been on a 13 Night round-trip Portugal and Canary Islands Cruise. Her estimated time of arrival was for 06:00am at the Ocean Cruise Terminal and her last port of call was La Coruna in Spain. As she approached the entrance to the Ocean Dock she had a tug at her stern helping her into the Terminal also you will notice that she has the starboard side ships anchor hanging just above the water, I think this was acting as a bit of a weight to help as she was turning into the entrance of the Ocean Dock, although I have never witnessed this happening before as she approached the terminal.
