My Uncle is departing on the GRAND PRINCESS tomorrow afternoon, here is the itinerary:
11/3 Boarding Grand Princess at Southampton, England.
11/4 Le Havre, France 7:00 – 8:00
11/5 at sea
11/6 Vigo, Spain 10 – 5
11/7 Lisbon, Portugal 8 – 5
11/8 At sea
11/9 Azores 10 – 6
11/10 thru 11/13 At sea
11/14 Bermuda 8 – 4

My question is, are there webcams at any of these ports so I can get them of the ship being there? I'd like to get this for my Uncle so I can prove I've been watching his trip. Thank you for your kind response.

You could check to see if there are any other ships with web cams in the ports at the same time and use those ships cams. Just a thought.

I've left this uploading for you Deb.. should be 31 photos there eventually. I happened to take a trip to the Isle of Wight today and saw her alongside in the morning and leaving at night. Had I known beforehand I would have got you some better ones. There is a webcam in Le Havre and I think there are some in the Azores too. Will check tomorrow.

This ship looks far far better in the dark!

From personal experience, I can say that she also looks very good from the inside too! This class of ship may be lacking in exterior grace, (better with Skywalkers removed) but the interior arragements of public rooms works very well. The exterior decks are vast, views unobstructed by 7-8 foot high glass walls, and the freash water pools large. A very comfortable class to sail aboard, whether for a short break in the sun, or an extended voyage of discovery.

There are 2 in Ponta Delgada where you can see the ships.
Too late for Le Havre, sorry, but the main one across the port seems to have disappeared anyway

the other only gives a small glimpse.

That's okay about the Le Havre, if I find a photo of her on the images section on Google being at the port that'll be fine, but I know I have to make sure it doesn't have the 'shopping cart' handle on it before I save it. Thank you for the Vigo, cams too. They'll be there tomorrow. Thank you for your help Pam.
