Neat shot, but every time I see one of these giants, I think 'Not enough life
boats'.

Nice looking cruise ship, certainly bertter than the tub we were on back in
1975.

8 on this side and 10 auto-inflate life rafts.

finishing up.

but I ,m not a cruise person, myself, I,ve had enough of large ships
its boring.. having been across on two oceans.
If I were to go out again it would have to be on a tallship under sail

When we went to Alaska in '13, we flew to Washington, then walked on to the
Alaska Marine Highway Ferry, where we had a state room for five days. There
were only a couple hundred people, and we had a lot of fun. The ferries can go
where the cruise ships can't, and the view is closer to the water.

That was the civilized way to travel :-)

The really weird thing on that trip was the Amish taking pictures with their
cell phones... And we asked, and they were Amish.
