Fab close-up there, Andrew. I was saying to my dad I bet you were out on deck. I'll get scanning my arrival pics tomorrow you Arcadia heading towards the turning circle, round and docking will be uploaded. You got similar ones to me of Arcadia sailing. LOL! Disappointing though Freezer never replied to her.

I thought that too! (Miserable buggers!)
Whereabouts were you on the Marina? I was on the western side, then crossed the lock and went out the normal side.
Seems strange that FOTS isn't sailing now, a friend of mine's nephew was due to sail on the shakedown tomorrow.Perhaps they are just doing it whilst alongside.
Good to see lots of people out and about to see it.
Andrew
Your last photos really shows FOTS size. Goodness.. it will a heck of a trek from one end to the other. For people not 100% on their feet Arcadia is a stretch. But she looks nice for a monster, no green gills [unless you count the hot tubs over the edge]
Pam
Did you get the feeling like we did that the people who were still there were waiting for Freezer to sail?
It was good seeing so many people but it's also amazing how many don't have a clue what ship's what. They just go for something like this or the Queens in last week.
freedom is GIGANTIC!

Nice picture Andrew. All these protrusion actually make one believe that this is not one but two ships - like another larger one behind the 'conventional' Voyager class vessel.

As you said the Arcadia seens tiny that the Freedom.
Freedom of the seas is really impressive, it would be great if we could see her near the Qm 2(in real I mean).
