Hi Marek!
There you go again, some marvellous pics of the Sapphire Princess you posted here!
Well, of course a lot of your pics are marvellous, but I'm a cruise liner fan. :-)

Kind regards,
Jens

Was I ever! (disappointed with your photos, I mean, no flattery here, just my opinion)

Say, if you should ever consider publishing a book with ship photography count me in for the first copy! :-D (And/or make sure it'll be published in Europe)

Alas, I'll have to follow your post tomorrow. It's going on 1am around here.

Have fun posting...

Regards,
Jens
