Bingley Visits Royalty

Who knew we’d be graced with a visit this weekend, and that these ladies would be so kind as to pose for a few photos for your humble servant on the trip home today?
Here’s the “Crown Princess”

and, of course, her Majesty “Queen Mary 2”

To give you a sense of the size of these ships, heres a view from a little ways away…

    Very cool, Bingster. My senior prom was on the Queen Mary (not this one, the one in Long Beach).

    I thought your prom was on the Titanic, Ken?

    The ferry i was on went within 150′ or so of her; she’s huge.
    And much more graceful looking than the “Crown Princess” hotel-on-a-barge thingie.

    She was an iceberg.

    Not an iceberg, Mr. B. More like the Bermuda Triangle….
