NCL Dawn's starring role in Google Earth

[tony@stanton19.freeserve.]

If anyone has any time that they do not spend on these boards, try downloading Google Earth from the following link.

earth.google.com/

Two reasons to do so:

1) It is a really brilliant and fun way to see aerial & satellite photos of the places that you wish to visit on your cruise. It can be a useful way to see just how accessible a place is from the cruse ship dock or how far the airport is to the dock. You can literally (well virtually really) fly around looking below you.

2) If you look at the cruise terminal in New York, your beloved NCL Dawn is bay the dock accompanied by several others.:) :) :)

Hi Tony,

As I said in our roll call, this site is amazing! Everyone should take a look at it. Beware, it's addictive! :D

Follow the west coast of Manhattan Island until you get to the Cruise Terminal and you will see the ships in port on the Hudson River opposite a place identified as Days point

They are just below Central Park and right next to USS Intrepid

Yep, That was one of the first places I looked at. Doesn't the Space Needle look odd on the pics ? Mount St Helens is good too with the top missing!

 

Try a search on Magic Kingdom and look around EPCOT, Universal Etc.

 

Tip, when looking at areas with significat contours such as the Grand Canyon, tilt the view for a more realistic "flying" experience.

No ships in the Port of Miami :mad:

It's pretty incredible.

Here is an interesting thing... i found the

 

lattitude longitude of great stirup cay ... just cut and copy it into the "address" part and it will show you where it is.... it does'nt show up however because its so small! but you will see little white things near it...its my thought that these are large ships!

25.8333333 -77.9

Hubby introduced me to the google earth site a couple nights ago - we found our house and flew around our area. It wasn't hi-res near my parents' so that was a bust. But we didnt' think of looking at the ships, Disney World, Grand Canyon, Mt. St. Helens, etc. so that'll be the entertainment for the weekend. Thanks!
