The Marella Discovery.

Our home for two weeks as we cruised from Port Canaveral in Florida USA north to NovaScotia in Canada and back again, taking in just six ports of call. Here she is in Portland, Maine, USA, our last stop before entering Canadian waters.
Quite by coincidence we cruised with her sister-ship the ‘Discovery 2’ earlier this year. (PiP)

Ship facts: Tonnage:69,130 GT, Length 264metres, beam: 32 metres, height: 50 metres with 11 decks and holding a possible 1830 passengers plus 720-50 crew. Not quite the monster cruise ship of today: The present largest is 236,000 GT and holds 7000 passengers + 2300 crew (Royal Caribbean, Wonder of the Seas)

Herb Riddle replied to Keith Burton:

Yes, it is quite a bonny ship when looked at like this. The PiP is now already old but I am glad you enjoyed it just the same.
