Everyone has seen photos of cruise ships, but two beauties were docked on San Diego’s waterfront this morning and gleaming in the sunshine, so I had to whip out my camera!
Once in a while, two or three cruise ships visit downtown at the same time. Some of these vessels are so huge that stood on end they’d dwarf many nearby skyscrapers. The two ships I saw in port today are operated by Princess Cruise Line. Both are classified as Grand-class cruise ships and have nearly identical lengths. Even after seeing them in person, it’s hard for me to grasp that these ships are 950 feet long! The Crown Princess can carry 3,080 passengers with a crew of 1,201. The Star Princess accommodates 2,590 passengers and a crew of 1,150. Incredible!

My favorite cruise line was Princess, when I was cruising! Their ships are fantastic. When you stand near them, their hugeness is almost frightening.

BTW, I tried to access your previous post, but was surprised it was deleted. Thanks for the heads-up. We all may change from time to time. Keeps things interesting.

I’m probably going to start a second blog that has nothing to do with San Diego, so my “coolsandiegosights” username would be confusing and inappropriate!

I have 2 blogs also. I have 3 cats and publish photos I take of them in sort of story form. I named my blog for them appropriately: pussycats3 It’s fun.
