cruiserjt Posted September 8, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) I was playing with Google Earth in Miami tonight and found a very fun way to see the Eclipse in port. The 3D imaging is so clear and with 5 ships in port it was amazing to see some of the detail. I could easily see the deck layout and am surprised I didn't see anyone waving. I thought I would share in case someone else is interested. Just don't do street view but zoom in on the ship. Very cool Teri Edited September 8, 2014 by cruiserjt typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop-JohnB Posted September 8, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) I have to admid that I spend a fair amount of time on the Internet... And GOOGLE in all its incarnations is a fave. Google Earth & Google Maps has a lot of interesting things to offer... Especially if one is a Traveller. Standard Map View, with measured distances (driving, cycling, public transit or walking)... Satellite View, or Street View with the curb-side options or street view and driving the little yellow man around are AMAZING GOOGLE MAPS is just PE more tool in my arsenal.. Would not plan a trip without consulting (others are Wikipedia - TripAdvisor and the local Tourism Websites) Hope this helps, Cheers!

cruiserjt Posted September 8, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Of all the pics of the Eclipse. This shows each deck and I got a perfect cabin count for our room this December. You could scroll over the top and it was clear enough to see the lawn that handsome dry brown areas. Balconies and obstructions were very obvious.

Kartgv Posted September 8, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Beware.......Big Brother is watching!:cool:.... Another reason to think about what we're doing on the balcony. Once, while sipping wine in the backyard, my BIL, who worked on military satellites, said that if the timing were right, someone would be able to report on whether we were drinking white or red wine.

gander Posted July 25, 2015 #14 Share Posted July 25, 2015 On the Google Earth of Fort Lauderdale (dated 12/15/2014) there are six cruise ships. To me, all have been pasted in. No gangways to the ships, no traffic, no loading or unloading and shadows are not correct, On the largest (Oasis of the Seas) appears the stern is on a barge and ship is on the edge of the pier. Not sure why they did this, unless to show where ships dock?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
