Ruthiebear from Titusville, NJ, United States

This is a great angle to see all of the detail and shapes of the liner.

11 Jul 2012 6:16pm

@Ruthiebear: Thanks Ruthie!

Eric Cousineau from Sherwood Park, Canada

Beautifully framed shot Don! I imagine this is a great boost to the local economy! ;-)

11 Jul 2012 6:44pm

@Eric Cousineau: Thanks Eric! The ship is docked near Market Square, so the shops do get the tourists. And you see the pink buses on the left, they are doubledeckers and are for cruise visitors only. They have about 15 of these.

Rather looks like one of those new irons that we use nowadays :-) What a spectacular boat - very cool shot and angle Don :-)

RBL from Oxford, United States

Fantastic shot of this grand liner and the dock! Great photo!

@RBL: Thanks Ruthie!

Stefanie from Paris, France

Impressive.

11 Jul 2012 9:05pm

@Stefanie: Thanks Stefanie!

Steven from Chicagoland, United States

And thankfully none of the ships' captains did anything foolish like on Costa Concordia. Great PoV highlighting its overall size to the surrounding port area. Sounds like Saint John is a great place to visit. I can only imagine what the influx of thousands of people can do in a matter of hours to a city.

11 Jul 2012 9:25pm

@Steven: Thanks Steven! We don't have to see the ship, we know by the amount of people in the streets and in the shop that a cruise ship has docked.

Baldwin VW from Bejuma, Venezuela

Amazing shot of this impressive "Carnival Glory" !!! A trip on a cruise like this is on our to-do list ... some day ;-))

11 Jul 2012 10:30pm

@Baldwin VW: Same here. Thanks Baldwin!

Julie L. Brown from Indianapolis, Indiana, United States

These boats are huge!

12 Jul 2012 12:43am

@Julie L. Brown: Last year the one ship came to Saint John and it was about one and a half time the size of this one. Thanks Julie!

Carol from Leamington ON, Canada

Wow, 64 ships will be docking in NB this year... that's a lot. Great for business. You've captured the Carnival Glory beautifully Don, lovely color and detail!

12 Jul 2012 2:54am

@Carol: Thanks Carol!

Curly from South Shields, United Kingdom

It's getting like that here on the Tyne Don, although the numbers are not so large. We probably get 2.5 per week now, about 150 per year. I'll have to do a series of shots of the bigger ships that I've seen.

12 Jul 2012 8:47am

@Curly: Thanks Curly! I would love to see a series about big ships by you.

Judy aka L@dybug from Brooksville, FL, United States

A wonderful shot, but not the ship I expected to see in Saint Johns harbor! ;D

13 Jul 2012 1:30am

@Judy aka L@dybug: Thanks Judy! Sometimes there are two cruises at the same time in the harbour.

franz from Baden, Austria
