Our Ship, the Coral Princess


The Coral Princess

 

One of two Lido Deck pools

Here is the other one

You may even play chess while watching the sea slide by

When we are unable to come to dock-side, we use the ship's tenders. Here is one being lowered

The tender comes along side...

...and our shore trip passengers may board with ease

 


Ruth, Bob & David ham it up for the camera - or maybe they are just being normal. Sometimes it's hard to tell

And off we go, camera's in hand to enjoy the sights

The Bridge


While in port, we had a chance to view the bridge, the control center for the ship. Here, on the Port side, we see bridge control station



Here, in the center is where the ship is steered, and controlled - when not coming into or out of port

The GPS navigation & charting equipment is very accurate. Here we see the outline of the ship alongside the pier, along with a line of our track in.
