MSC Opera Ship Visit, Balmoral & Ventura
I was invited by MSC to visit their ship, MSC Opera, on the 27th May 2011.  Balmoral was late arriving due to weather, finally docking around 1.30pm.  Both she and Opera left after 6pm, despite the media wrongly stating Opera wasn't going anywhere after the MCA issued a two day old statement saying she'd been detained.  As usual, when the media know nothing, they make it up even though passengers were boarding and Paul Clifton, from BBC South, was at the terminal.
