Thanks for the comments guys.
We are lucky to have many more cruise ships on the New Zealand and Australian coasts this summer than say 5 years ago, with more companies and more ships being based in our region for the summer period. So we get more opportunities to photograph them than in the past. Even occasionally we can get a decent day when the ship departs port in early evening with good side light, and I admit that we are spoiled in Auckland whereby ships have to go around North Head, so there is a range of light/sun angles for us to choose from as the ship goes around the 160 to 180 degree turn to leave the harbour.
However that does not solve the question of are the ships good looking ? Of course there will be a wide divergence of opinion here. It seems to me that the modern large cruise ship is excessively tall compared to it's beam. The newest ones seem to be taller than the generation that is say 5 years older.
