Caribbean Princess....

 



The Caribbean Princess docked early this morning at the Cruise Terminal at the Deep Water Quay. What a magnificent ship!!! What a sight!!!







The size of these ocean going cruise liners is just breathtaking. Not only did she extend the full length of the quay but she stands so high out of the water that she dwarfs everything in her vicinity. This is quite evident in the photographs here where the Heritage Centre pales in size in comparison.

Looking at her vital statistics is quite impressive; she has 17 decks in all. In fact, she stands 15 stories clear of the water line.  She measures 951ft in length and weighs 113,000 gross tonnes....and there's over 3,500 passengers on-board, not to mention to crew. Wow!!!

Later, this evening, as she slips her moorings the local Cobh Confraternity Band will play her off. This is a sight worth seeing in itself, so do call down.

This is the first of four visits to Cobh that the Caribbean Princess will be making this season. Have a look here for the full liner schedule from the Port of Cork.
