December 23

World Odyssey

At 22,000 tons and 520 passengers this cruise ship is less than one fourth the size of the ones that usually call here.
I find this size much more appealing.

(Sorry if I have not been visiting and commenting so much. I've been sick with a bad cold for days. Aside from daily walks I've been spending a lot of time reading in bed.)

I hope you are on the mend. Much less imposing for sure. V

I'm with you on this one Walter. I find the proportions of modern liners ridiculous, their profile is that of an over loaded container ship. I'll add my get well soon thoughts, all this positive energy should have you well in no time. Merry Christmas!

Marvelous shot of this scene, much nicer to see a smaller craft. Get well soon. V

A fine shot of this cruiser, Walter. I certainly do agree with you on the size. Hope you're getting over your cold soon. V

Still a big boat. Feel better! Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season. V

My type of cruise ship as well, goes where other bigger ones can't, you're not stuck in a 3000 people crowds all the time, and a thousand other reasons. The World Odyssey sure is a beauty.

Fantastic image of this beautiful ship, love the clouds. V

a more sympathetic size for sure, and perhaps more stable at this height...hope you recover in time to enjoy the festive times..

A lovely shot well composed with great clarity and light...V

Take care, there seems to be a lot of that stuff going around. Nice shot of this smaller craft, more appealing to me also. V
