It appears to be huge, but it is not. Oosterdam carries fewer than 2000 passengers. Most of the newer ships carry 3000 - 4000 passengers.

Is that a cruise ship, Jim? I pictured them much more open, with lots of access to sun and ocean views. Maybe that's more visible on another part of the ship.

This was our evening sky on Friday--oriented this direction it looks like a shot from a spaceship leaving the atmosphere:

And one lonely mare's tail to the NW:

Yes, that is the ship that we were on earlier this month. If you look above the row of life boats (orange covers) everything above that line are balcony cabins. Also balcony cabins (5 decks) at the stern. Above those cabins there is a open deck and a small pool, of course with a bar. In the center of the ship, a large pool (bar and Mexican buffet) with a retractable cover. At the highest point at the front of the ship is another open deck (with a wind screen to protect while under way) and beneath that is "The Crow's Nest" with a great coffee bar, library, dance floor and lots of chairs for reading and relaxing.

Casey your pic is the perfect jigsaw puzzle! Love, love it.

Great pictures, as usual......thanks for sharing!
