New Webams for RCI

Read More

I’ve added new webcams for two of Royal Caribbean’s ships: Oasis of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas.

If you’d like to add these ships, just click on “Preferences”, scroll to the bottom of the page, and tick the RCI ships that you want to look at, or click this link to add them to your existing ships.

I don’t think the RCI webcams are very exciting. They just show internal views of the ship, and no view of the sea or the horizon is visible at all. But you might enjoy watching some of the people walking around on the deck, waving at the camera. They’re probably thinking to themselves how lucky they are to be on a cruise ship while we’re at home just watching them.

I hope you enjoy it!

I was at a restaurant in Sydney yesterday and just happened to see Pacific Jewel leaving port on her maiden voyage for P&O Australia . Here’s a few photos I took with my mobile phone. It was a gloomy day, and I’m sure everyone on board was glad to be heading north into sunnier weather.

But any time of year, Milson’s point is a pretty place with some spectacular views – especially if you love ships!

They’ll soon be transferred to P&O’s Australian fleet, but by adding them now, you’ll be able to watch them on their final voyages for their current company.
