Three cruise ships all belonging to Carnival UK were docked in Southampton on Friday 27th April 2012. P&O Cruises' M/S "Arcadia" was moored in Berth 106/The 'Mayflower' Terminal whilst Cunard Liners RMS "Queen Mary 2" and "Queen Elizabeth" were in Berths 101/The 'City' Terminal and 46/The 'Ocean' Terminal respectively. Originally scheduled to depart at 16:30, all three ships departed late. "Queen Elizabeth" was the first to set sail from the 'Ocean' Terminal departing roughly around 5-10 mins late. She was followed shortly afterwards by "Arcadia" running about 15 mins late and exchanged horn blasts with "Queen Mary 2" with Red Funnel's "Red Falcon" joining in as well as she departed for Cowes. Finally, "Queen Mary 2" got underway almost an hour late before following the other two ships down the Test to the Solent and then heading off to New York.
