shireboi Posted February 24, 2017 Author #37 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Fri 24 Feb 2017 George St being destroyed for the Light Rail - expensive $$$$$$ project with few benefits Yep another Carnival - Spirit (why do they have such bad naming on their ships ??)

Rare MicCanberra Posted February 24, 2017 #38 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Cheers, not sure about the naming conventions with quite a few of the lines, quite a few repeats and duplication of names as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shireboi Posted February 24, 2017 Author #39 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Cheers, not sure about the naming conventions with quite a few of the lines, quite a few repeats and duplication of names as well. No I meant that it's very poor - compared to the RC fleet (well Ovation was the exception - its name was massive). The Spirit writing / location seems to be an afterthought. Anyway got a 4pm depart again today - a few more pics in a few hrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussieflyer Posted February 24, 2017 #40 Share Posted February 24, 2017 No I meant that it's very poor - compared to the RC fleet (well Ovation was the exception - its name was massive). The Spirit writing / location seems to be an afterthought. Maybe they are trying to keep it quiet in case the ship breaks down :p Thanks for the photos - you must have a good telephoto.

NSWP Posted February 24, 2017 #45 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Great pics, don't mind Carnival Spirit, did 30 days on her in 2005, Hawaii, then to Vancouver and the Inside Passage-Alaska. She had none of that kids stuff up top back then. Now QM2 is on her way to the OPT.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter69 Posted February 27, 2017 #47 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I Thought all 3 & 4 days cruises where mainly Booze cruises. a lot less Kid's... Hope the Spirit had some spirits over the weekend :) Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted February 27, 2017 #48 Share Posted February 27, 2017 There is a strong possibility that it may happen that way. I suppose it depends on the timing and price (weekend vs weekday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
