Permanently docked! Have you been aboard to savour the art deco fittings and decor ? Great light that you have captured it in – lends an olden days atmosphere>
Thanks, Bette. Yes, I’ve been on the ship several times, most recently for just a short time to meet up with Australian friends of my sister who were on a dream round-the-world trip. They were staying overnight before taking a short cruise to Mexico the next day, and we caught a water taxi to have dinner at a restaurant on the water, across the harbor from the ship.

Thank you, Katherine! I was at an event at the adjoining park when the sun started to go down, and I couldn’t miss that light. Yes, I’ve been to a couple of the restaurants – quite a treat!
