Thanks for posting.
Terveisiä Göteborg!
If you go to Cozumel, try booking a resort. We went for the day to Noche Cocum--enjoyed their beach and free drinks and wonderful food. And they only take so many people for the day so it was relaxing and no crowds to fight on port day.
Have a wonderful time.
How much water does it draw? It doesn't look like enough to me.
The missus likes to go on cruises...but I won't ever let her go on one of these un-seaworthy looking things.
Welll since we are off topic, Ronald Reagan not only defeated the Soviet Union he destroyed it. My kids barely recognize those words "Soviet Union."
Sorry, but when I look at a cruise ship, I see a great big juicy target.
Surface to surface missiles are not that hard to come by. The Iranians have plenty of them, and Hezbollah and Hamas can certainly get them.
Would you believe my wife and I will be on this cruise? with my bro, his wife, and my 95 yr. old mom, 93 yr. old dad...... 14th deck, balcony....
Well, not really.
They kicked the crap out of the Soviets in the Winter War, but were forced to accept terms and a significant loss of territory when the seasons changed.
They won a campaign or battle, not a war.
They also fought alongside the Nazis against the Soviets, for fairly obvious reasons, but somehow escaped the condemnation for this suffered by all other Nazi allies.
BTW, the Finns were the only allied divisions the Wehrmacht classed as equal to a German outfit.
bump for book mark
You and I are kind of arguing the same point.
The newer ships cannabalize booksing on the older cruise liners..
This looks like little more than a glamorized container ship, stacked high.
Where is the beauty of the great ocean liners?
Ha ha Had to laugh, Talofa from Samoa.
I live in Samoa a small island state in the Pacific Ocean, we are about twenty years behind the Caribbean as far as cruise ships are going, but we will get there, but had to laugh !!!i
P & O cruise ship the Oriana turned up last sunday, with i guess about 1500 Aussie tourists, well in Samoa Sunday is church, family, eat and sleep. I drove to town and saw about 500 lilly white tourists walking up and down Beach Rd , our main drag along the bay, nothing was open, no vendors, no businesses open, nothing to do or see, just a few cab drivers touting for business,i had to laugh, who planned to bring 1500 people for the day to a country of 180,000 people, when it is closed.,
Imagine if this ship turned up !!!
>>> It looks very top-heavy to me.
That’s an illusion. The photo shows you the superstructure is hollowed out to permit a multi-deck high open mall nearly the length of the ship.
