    Great photos, VP. This cruise ship is simply beyond my imagination. Then again, I have restricted my cruising to river cruises with maybe 150-180 passengers.

    Yes! Isn't she beautiful! Liberty of the Seas is sister ship to our ship, Freedom of the Seas! :) We will return to Freedom on June 17 in Port Canaveral, Florida. Wonderful images, VP!!!

    The tug boat looks so small.

    Just explaining ciel: HLM (habitation à loyer modéré) is rent-controlled housing in France.

    That last photo especially is so dramatic. It gives me a new appreciation for tugboat crews.

    Brilliant shot on top, VP! Love it. The more I see these cruise ships (and I see a lot in Lisbon) the more I know I will never be travelling in one.
