Chicken of the Seas?

Seriously, I want to say something Royal Caribbean. The clock looks familiar, although maybe I have just seen one like it in a picture before.

Talk about hard!

Silly me. I should have looked at the wood deck and rulked out anything RCI, at least of recent vintage. The ship did look too old, but I couldn't place why.

Mike, your answers woke me up.

I assume it was taken either in St.Peresburg or Edingburgh while Norweigian Crown stayed overnight there on the 12 Day Scandinavian Capitals Cruise or 12 day British Isles Cruise.

One more clue is a davit.

Your davit clue leads me to think this is the Royal Princess. She is the only ship I have seen with this style of davit.

Hi Pam,

Could that be the Space Needle in Seattle in the background?

I don't have a clue of the ship but it sure reminds me of the many nights I stood on the boat deck on our ships out at sea staring into the sea, phosphorus shining, moving along to the next port.

The sun may be up, but it's still only 8.14am and the garden is beckoning before the forcasted hail arrives! I had better reply before being called worse than 'evil'

I thought mec1 would get this, as he mentioned her in a previous quiz. But 1st prize of a virtual sailaway glass of bubbly goes to sea4me. Royal Princess on a British Isles & Iceland cruise in Aug '97. [I blocked out 'London' on the lifeboat]. I am not sure where it is taken, dark at that time, so maybe Rosyth?
Pam.. now 8.40 due to interruptions

I carefully checked my photo below but It seemed Tender potion was differ by angle.
and I didn't think he was the firstcomer for Midnight sailaway( I thought it was taken after returned from night excurision ), Therefore I answered N.C. which had the same type of davids when she was built as Crown Odyssey.

BTW, It was taken from Royal Princess at Nagasaki in Apr. 1987.

I just wonder, on the RP's british isle cruise latest departure time's port was Midnight in Reykjavik.
Princess scheduled to depart 5-7pm(daylight in summer) in another ports of call.

Nice photo.. I don't think they scrubbed the lifeboats in the interim 8 months! You can certainly match up the lifeboats, railings and davits there though.
Very possibly Reykjavik. I only have the itin, not the timings. I will endeavour to discover more.

mec1 I hope you aren't too black & blue

Ocean Liners I don't have the Patters, just a jumbled pile of photos in the developer's folder, with no date marks and no negs, so I can't even put them in order. Such items may appear in time though, as I know many photos are missing from this collection. I think perhaps these are the cast-offs and the better ones may be in an album somewhere. Having spoken to Mum, she is pretty sure it is Rekyavik as a series of pics with the clock were taken at different times as it darkened awaiting departure; but I have only one! Where are the rest? Hmm
