What a great view!

Get down there for lunch and say hi to the tourists

Well, I did a particularly bad job of photographing Grand Princess, in that I forgot.

But here is Coral Princess in yesterday.  I have noticed what a lot of Princess ships we get in here, Grand, Majestic, Coral.

Around 600 at full capacity.  We were looking at a relocation cruise with her which is very good value but can't get the time off, unfortunately

We’ve sailed on Silver Spirit, quite a few years ago.  Silversea cruises are sublime, on par with Seabourn.

Viking Orion is in today.  I was supposed to be on her next September but it looks like it's not going to work out (leave issues).  She is pretty though.

This is from a bit further away but Star Breeze was in today.  Only 312 guests.

It's going from Seward in Alaska to Tokyo.  Lots of sea days but I don't mind that.

When I visited Vancouver, Canada, I envied locals their variety of visiting cruise ships.

I just realised that I will be away in Motueka that weekend so I will miss seeing your ship! I am looking looking forward to your feedback, though, as I am booked on her in December
