For a member of the public, one of the few ways to get into a port is to be legitimately on a ship. That is part of what makes preparation for a cruise exciting. There is so much to see from the deck of ones ship although some creativity is needed with shots taken in a crowded environment. Wonderful though the previous days viewing had been, it was equally wonderful to be amongst this day's six ships including our own Holland America Eurodam. The berth occupied on Saturday by Oasis of the Seas was filled on Sunday by sister Oasis Class vessel Allure of the Seas as she prepared for departure to Labadee (Haiti). 200_P1000570C

This is the scene at Port Everglades, Florida shortly before the departure of Oasis of the Seas for Nassau. The massive ship, which can carry 5-6000 passengers, is based there (with sister Oasis Class vessel Allure of the Seas). Its size is evident from the way it dwarfs the port infrastructure and nearby cargo ship SCM Fedra. 200_P1000532

The massive Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas manoeuvres away from the quay at Port Everglades under way to Nassau. The Oasis Class vessel can carry 5-6000 passengers and was the sixth and final ship to leave Fort Lauderdale on this January Saturday. 200_P1000539
