I finally got a chance on the cam..:D

 

 

Nice! Thanks David. Sorry I was on it a little bit...

Oh ..Was that you...:D:D

 

I think there would be more than just us looking at it. The biggest problem is the wind making the cam jump around so much.

Yep, I couldn't get on it, seemed to be very busy. The haze seems to be hanging around.

Hi all, went down there at lunch time and managed to get into the Spirit of Tas part of the port (even parked on the pier!) and got up fairly close :D

She is seriously huge!! You don't really realise until you're up close.

 

Here goes, my first photo posted here...fingers crossed...

Great work, Thanks. She is quite large and you really only get how large when you see her in person or compared to another ship that you may know.:D

[Hazydavo]

Not sure what I did with the I-phone setting on this one...some funky filter :confused: Anyway...

That photo shows the Spirit of Tasmania looking very small in comparison.:D

[Hazydavo]

Indeed!!

Great photos! I have to say it's been many years since we have been on Explorer but we spent a lot of time on Mariner in recent years and I just love this class of ship.

 

I'm sure those of you already booked will love it too. This ship isn't too large for us, it's just right. Oasis on the other hand was way too large for us and way too many people. We said never again on that class.
