Oriana

We saw the Oriana in port when we left this morning... On the way back she passed us on her way to sea. Compared to the ferry she's huge! I always wonder how they stay upright in rough seas, cruise ships always seem to have such a shallow draft compared to there width. Guess it must work tho!

I watched her leave on her maiden voyage and was shocked by how shiny she was. Is she still shiny or have the years begun to show?

I always liked the name.

Elizabeth I was referred to as Oriana... wonder if that's an homage to the QE2?

Still very shiny tho... I will have to drug you like mr T to take you on a cruse tho... "I aint gettin' on no boat fool" :-)
