Zooming in on cruise ships

I am fascinated by cruise ships. At the moment, this is as close as I can get… until I upgrade my camera. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do.

There is a lot to look at, including fittings which I am sure are crucial for the ship to operate.

 

Another ship below…

I don’t see much happening here… maybe most passengers have left the boat to visit the city of Melbourne.

 

And a different ship below….

This one has a climbing wall on the top left of the photo. I wonder if it gets used very much. The rooms with balconies facing outwards would have nice views.

 

And 2 photos of a different one…

«Louis», too, is fascinated by cruise ships, so he enjoyed these photos very much - as he has the other cruise ship photos you've shown recently.

I bet you see tons of cruise ships! It seems like everyone from Canada who travels to Australia takes a cruise ship to a few of the ports. Cool photo!

Having been around the world on much smaller ones, I too am rather partial to them. Pity the big ones charge a king's ransom for a passage.
