Cars & A Big Boat

A Cruise Ship to . . . Nowhere!

Last month my mom asked if I wanted to attend a luncheon and musical presentation being presented by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. I was keen and what was even more interesting was that it was happening on a cruise ship!


We got down to Canada Place by 10am, [temporarily] surrendered our drivers licenses, and then lined up to get on board.


Starting just after 11am, VSO conductor, Bramwell Tovey, provided a 50 minute musical performance, interspersed with some fascinating historical insights into Beethoven. He also did a little up-selling on the upcoming symphony season but did so in a very delightful manner.


We then had a delicious lunch, before being allowed to explore the ship. Taking photos on it provided a very different perspective of downtown that I'm not used to.

Gastown's Waterfront

An aunt of mine was visiting from Humboldt, Saskatchewan. Though it was pouring rain much of the day, I gave her a driving tour of the city. The first two shots are of Crab Park, which is a place I've never explored before. It's actually a very beautiful park with an incredible view of downtown. You can read more about it here.




Here are some shots of a huge Norwegian Cruise Lines ship. You can read more about it here.

Miami Harbour

On the weekends the cruise ships are docked, restocking themselves for a new allotment of passengers for the coming week. They always brighten up the harbour tremendously!

Miami Cruise Ship Terminal

There were a number of cruise ships docked in Miami today. This is actually a compilation of 7 different photos:
