This Cruise Ship Watch is a bit unique. Usually I combine all the cruise ships I photographed in a day into one post. Usually I get cruise ships when they're in service and have passengers aboard. Usually I just put up one picture per ship. This is the exception all-around. I present to you, the Spirit of Glacier Bay. Click an image to view full.

This is the ship I spoke of earlier that ran aground, and it's here in Ketchikan, Alaska for repairs at the shipyard. You can see in the photos, they have a yellow oil containment boom surrounding the ship. It also must be taking on water still, because you can see that the bilge pumps are running.
Let me explain the reasons behind a few of the exceptions:
Anyway, here's the other pictures...

ReplyDeleteI don't have that issue, mine change several times.
It's a pretty ship.
Have you ever been out to sea in one of those cruise ships? A friend of mine takes vacations regularly (her mom is a travel agent) on cruise ships--she loves 'em.
ReplyDeleteI'm a li'l scared of the open sea so I don't think I would. I don't mind ferries but to stay on a ship for a couple days or more--nah, not for me.
@ |bernadette|: No, I've never been out to sea on a cruise ship. I wouldn't be scared of the open sea provided I was on a large enough ship.
