THE ALLURE OF THE SEAS

This is THE ALLURE OF THE SEAS. Click this link to see all that she has to offer, should you be interested. This is a shot of her arrival in Fort Lauderdale a couple of days ago on her maiden voyage. She is the largest cruise ship in the world. The Allure takes the title from her sister ship, THE OASIS OF THE SEAS, that debuted here last year. You may click this link to see a video of the two ships side by side. I don't have the photographer's name who deserves credit for this shot. Whether you are a "cruiser" or not, it is a beautiful sight!

  2. It's still hard for me to imagine cruise ships taller than most buildings. Hope they've stocked up on spam and pop tarts.

  8. I like cruising, but this might be a bit much! An amazing work of engineering though.

  13. That is impressive .. when I was about 10 yrs old (waaaay back in the time of ... ) one of my aunts and her family moved to England because my uncle's job required it .. we saw them off on the Queen MARY ..not the Queen Elizabeth or the even newer QE2 .. my strongest memory of that ship was the indoor swimming pool that looked as if several whales would fit and have room to swim around easily

  15. It's a big one. If I live to be eighty years old I might take it for a spin.

  17. Ft. Lauderdale is a city MUY GRANDE. I can't imagine being on something that large, much less having it "in my back yard."

  18. Oh wow that's unbelievably huge. Like the Empire State Building floating sideways. Sort of.

  21. Wow, he must have some amazing lens to take this. Have to say it would be my idea of hell to be on a cruise ship like this. Give me a small cruise ship with just a few hundred people.
