"Queen Victoria", "Queen Elizabeth", "Grand Mistral" & "Aurora" in Southampton - 15/05/2013

Four cruise ships moored in Southampton Docks on Wednesday 15th May 2013 with Cunard's "Queen Victoria" at the 'QEII' Terminal & "Queen Elizabeth" at the 'Ocean' Terminal with first-timer (I believe) Ibero Cruceros' "Grand Mistral" at the 'City' Terminal and P&O Cruises' "Aurora" at the 'Mayflower' Terminal. Initial 16:30 departure times for the two 'Queens' was delayed by around 30 mins due to the arrival of the Hapag-Lloyd Container Ship "Kuala Lumpur Express" from Colombo and docked at the Container Terminal at 17:59. Once the container ship had passed, "Queen Victoria" was the first to get underway at 16:55 and reversed round into the River Hamble to turn before sailing off to Palermo. She was followed by "Queen Elizabeth" at 17:12 heading for St. Peter Port, Guernsey and then "Grand Mistral" at 17:55 heading for Amsterdam. "Aurora" was booked to depart at the much later time of 20:00 and departed roughly on-time at 20:06 also heading for St. Peter Port. Viewed from Town Quay & Mayflower Park.
