Celebrity Solstice (December 2012) - Post 3

Tauranga.

 


Late afternoon departure for Auckland.


Just prior to our departure from Tauranga, I was privileged to be given a personal tour of the bridge by the ship's very congenial master, Captain Costas Nestoroudis.








Isabella, from the Pursers' staff escorted me to the bridge.

Auckland - Jan 4th. - End of the cruise.

Housekeeping on the ship was excellent.
All fast at Princes Wharf.
The cruise terminal was very busy with approximately 3200 passengers disembarking with a similar number embarking a few hours later for the return cruise.

  1. Nice photos, Tim. I suppose the positive experiences of the cruise outweighed the negative ones.
