Shame really, but at least its not being destroyed.

Impressive close up. Remember coming past it a few years back when coming home from the IOW.

I have passed it at sea a few times and seen it in various places around the world, it always makes you stop and stare, compared to modern cruise ships, she had a certain aurra about her, passed her once of Cape Finissterre and was asked if we were their tender

Was lucky enough to have sailed on her from southhampton to new york (ex's old man paid for it). Was brillaint experience and the food & presentation was just stunning.

Even back then (2001, i thinK) it was starting to show signs of age

She was briefly on the Tyne on the 8th October, before leaving for Southampton.

I managed to get this photo just before she sailed
