Mmm definitely looks like a pretty bumpy ride. We are boarding tomorrow and have just had a call from P&O advising that we are not not embarking until 4pm as the ship is going to be very late arriving in Auckland due to the weather.

Bad memories
Yes, seas look stirred up alright. Brings back memories of the 40 foot seas we were in at the bottom of south island of NZ, end of Sept last year, on Regal Princess.
Good luck to you all on board, take plenty of ginger. Cheers..Les

Mickalex is due to board tomorrow (same as Anton & I). Just had another message from P&O advising that we are now not going to be boarding until Friday 1st as the ship is going to be very delayed into Auckland due to the weather. Mick & his family will be on the plane now heading to Auckland so will probably find out about the change when they arrive at their hotel. I hope we don't miss too many ports due to the delay (now going to be 24hrs late) - pretty disappointing, but then you can't control the weather!

I don't envy him that job, I just hope that the weather clears at least a little bit in the next 24 hrs.

Thank you for all the kind thoughts.The kids took it well as the flight and being in Auckland made up for the 24 hour delay to them.
Nice weather you have here in Auckland Lisa. Was blowing a gale when we landed last night,after we stopped everyone was clapping the cap for the landing{or landings}!It was a very bump landing on a wet runway and we had a bit of a slip but well under control.

A few years ago when a cruise ship was attacked by pirates off the coast of Africa ,members were posting stories and pics on CC and the journo's were trying to contact them via the boards . They got kicked off real quick.
