It is good, better then SU6, but it is so Slooooooooooooow...

Moving chairs around least night took about 45 mins...

Well about a month ago I went down to the port and there were 7 cruise ships 5 ferries and two tankers.
Plus two yachts of celebrities, Mohamed Al Fayed and this American lady who I dont remember!
I took loads of photos too maybe i should share them one day

The cruise ships were:

Ventura
Adventure of the seas
Navigator of the seas
MSC Fantasia
Costa concordia
Island Escape
AIDAcara

Oh! And the Arctic Sunrise of Greenpeace!
hehe

Is she back with Ballearia again then?

She was the old Borgia before she went to T Link in Italy.

Lagan Viking may recognise her graceful lines!

Yes she is, but she sure as heck fire is one damm ugly ship!

She is strangely painted all white and has been for ages now

Nathan|C · « **Reply #10196 on:** September 26, 2010, 20:10:58 »

That is known as a "bare boat", I think it's in case someone charters/buys her and wants to paint the livery on

clanky · « **Reply #10197 on:** September 26, 2010, 23:34:59 »

She is white because she was sub-chartered from Balearia to T-Link and they obviously didn't want a ship on their service with Balearia painted down the side, I would expect that now she is back on charter to Balearia they will look at having her re-painted again soon.

Bare boat is a slightly different term Nathan, although it is indeed connected with chartering:

A bare boat charter is when you pay a fixed rate for a ship and you then have to crew the ship, and pay all the running costs yourself, the other common type of charter is a managed or time charter where you charter a ship from a company who do all the crewing and technical management for you and you then only have to arrange cargo (and for passenger ships normally supply the catering / hotel staff)
