Wow! Great find!! I'm curious as to how you found it?? But anyways, it is definitley a freedom class, if you look closely you can see the cantilevered hot tubs as well as the flowrider! Key West.... 24°33'25.56"N, 81°48'33.43"W i think it's a RCCL ??? any takers?? It's harder to tell with this one because i couldnt zoom in all of the way, but it looks like an RCCL ship because i think i see the viking crown lounge, anywas im going 2 guess voyager class but i could be wrong. Great find nontheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great find nontheless. yeah i thought the hot tubs give it away... it's pretty easy to do really... figure out where ships 'hang out' and then go look!! when you've found one... click the yellow placemark thingy at the top and the co-ord's appear... cut n paste em in, remembering the comma after the N.. and hey presto something to amuse us when we have nothing to do at work!!!

cot427 Posted June 5, 2008 #11 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Not sure if it's posted already, but off the coast of Cozumel, a freedom class, probably Freedom of the Seas. 20°29'6.84"N 86°58'27.64"W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cot427 Posted June 5, 2008 #12 Share Posted June 5, 2008 not sure of the cruise line but here's one transitting the Panama Canal.. 9° 0'56.86"N, 79°36'40.07"W I'm pretty sure it is a cruise ship, and it looks like a Norwegian Cruise Line ship.

KarinaGW Posted June 5, 2008 #13 Share Posted June 5, 2008 There's another ship just south of this one, but this is the more interesting looking. It's not RCCL though. 19°18'9.22"N, 81°23'24.48"W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHADEN Posted June 5, 2008 #14 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Here's another popular locale: 28°24'41.80"N, 80°37'36.89"W Everyone should guess the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes1234 Posted June 5, 2008 #15 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Here's a cool one but I am not going to make it easy on you by giving you Lat/Longs. Find the Enchantment of the Seas. Look for her where she got bigger. For extra google earth nerd credit: Find the SS Rotterdam in 2 places where she spent a lot of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2CtheC Posted June 5, 2008 #16 Share Posted June 5, 2008 How about this old funnel? 33°51'30.60"S 151°12'37.75"E She'll be retired soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uksimonusa Posted June 5, 2008 #19 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Here's another popular locale: 28°24'41.80"N, 80°37'36.89"W Everyone should guess the ship. There's a little camera icon over the ship, that says SOS, this is not SOS, it is Mariner of the Seas. Sovereign class does not have inline skating or, if I remember right, minature golf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sovereign class does not have inline skating or, if I remember right, minature golf i bow to the 'experts' or should that be 'nerd's' ????? :rolleyes: most of the ships i've seen or found, i have no idea who they belong to never mind their names.. i'm amazed at people's knowledge and their obvious love of all things 'cruise-ship'....
