Royal Caribbean's OVATION OF THE SEAS (2016/168666grt/IMO 9697753/348m loa) first call in two and a half years, arriving late morning from Sydney, Australia, made for a very busy day at Ports of Auckland's Fergusson Wharf. It was also the very first time the 347m mega-cruise ship came alongside rather than holding position in mid-harbour. However, no flash cruise ship terminal for her, instead coming alongside at the Fergusson Container Terminal northern berth and treating onlookers to the sight of a very large (by NZ standards) ship spinning mid-harbour, in her own length, courtesy of bow and stern thrusters (and very little assistance (if any) from the three port tugs. 
She sailed later in the evening for the Bay of Islands.
