I was in Cardiff for my Marco Polo cruise on the 1st June 2018, having arrived the day before to see her come in. Cruise and Maritime had her listed at 9am but ABP South Wales was an hour later. Due to thick fog, it turned out the port time was accurate. Along with my friend David Trevor-Jones, we were dropped off near the old Doctor Who Experience building then walked to the Barrage to get her arrival, hearing her before seeing her. The fog burned off pretty fast. Later, before checking in, we took some photos. David noticed you could see her original name on the hull.
