Looking forward to my 'night' aboard for my birthday...

Ah no, not the best, Shaun!... but very close:-D:-D:-D
(Where are my pills? Got a fit of delusions of grandeur again...)

I don't blame you!! It is an absolutely stunning shot, and as many others have said, possibly the best shot of Marco Polo on the site!!!! :-)

Thanks, Shaun. Ok, the following sounds a bit like self-adulation... but at the moment I don't seem to tire of looking at it:-))

A lovely set from Brunsbuttel Jens!

comment

person
That's the way I like my ships:-)

In fact I was quite surprised how close she was sailing by my vantage point, it was literally a stone's throw...

Up close and personal :) really nice!!

comment

person
Thanks again, Sulzer! I agree, she's a real gem, always taken good care of her as it seems.

Edit
comment

person
Simply SUPERB!!! She has conserved his original character of a SHIP, not modified with upperstructure like a floating condominium as done on several re-moderned cruiseships (see for example the Costa Neoromantica a. o. ...)

Derek, thank you:-)

I'm really envious that you'll have your second (?) cruise with her! However it's too bad that the trip will be in October because that will be October 2, 9 or 26 if I'm not mistaken. The first and the last are night passages through Kiel Canal and on October 9 (when she'll sail in the daytime) I won't be able to visit Kiel Canal. I'd have waved a big banner with "Hello Derek!" written on it:-D

Kind regards,
Jens

Superb photo Jens,

We will be on her again in October passing through Kiel canal.

best regards
Derek

Thank you very much, Brett! When I first saw the photo on my camera I was a bit disappointed, the lighting didn't look too good. But when I got home and uploaded the photo to my pc I was pleasantly surprised how good it looked at high resolution:-)
Cheers,
Jens

Most amazing pic I have ever seen of her. Well done Jens, brilliant !
Cheers,
Brett

comment

person
Thank you very, very much Dennis:-)

Actually this was my last chance to catch her this year, she'll only sail through Kiel Canal in the middle of the night the rest of the year. And at her age who knows if she'll be around next year...

Cheers,
Jens
