Are you in the middle of a cruise?

These are great shots. I really like the symetry in 1 and 2. A mass of confusion in 1 and nice simple lines in 2. Nice work.

thanks for all the comments. I just got back from the cruise.

Grandeur of the Seas is a wonderful ship! Not the biggest (her big sister Freedom of the Seas is the largest passenger ship afloat), but certainly a terrific cruse ship. I hope you had a wonderful vacation!

I absolutely LOVE your pics. They are terrific! Your use of light and structure make those shots a huge step above the normal cruise "postcards". Thank you for sharing!

Much better than mine.. no kidding. If you want to see some pics of the Freedom, go to my gallery (in my sig). They aren't the best pics in the world, but a peek at the big ship just for fun.

thank you. I checked out your pics. Very nice. Isn't this a new ship? Man that thing looks massive.

Freedom of the Seas is brand new. She was launched just a few weeks ago. I am not sure massive is the correct word. Humungous works for me. As noted, Freedom is the largest passenger ship ever built.

IE: The Titanic came in at approx. 49,000 tons. (this is how ships are measured)
The Grandeur of the Seas, which you were on, comes in at 74,00 tons.
A Nimitz class aircraft carrier comes in at an average 100,00 tons.
The Freedom of the Seas, hang on now, comes in at exactly 160,000 tons.

Freedom's sister ship, Liberty, is being built now in Turku Finland. I hope to be in Finland this spring to get pics of her under construction. I will post them here. And an even bigger ship, code named Genesis, is being designed for launch in 2009. She will top 220,000 tons.. or roughly FIVE times the size of the Titanic.

Sounds like they are making them TOO big now. More photo ops, and you two can handle that with expert efficiency, but them would be some big boats.

Royal Carribean is top notch, I will be headed out on Navigator of the Seas for my second voyage on September 2nd, can't wait!

Here are a few shots I got of Navigator the last time I was out in January 2006.
