The Queen Mary II is on its maiden round the world voyage and called in to Auckland for the day. It is so big that they had to dock at the container port - not the best view for the passengers paying tens of thousands of dollars a ticket...
The ship can hold over 3,000 passengers, and even behind the containers it was clearly visible and attracted thousands of people to have a look, causing traffic chaos in the city.
The ship left around 10.30pm after an impressive firework display in the harbour. Again, thousands of people were out to watch her leave and we couldn't get as close as we would have liked. This is a view of her taken from the Takapuna boat ramp.
