    Terrific contrast. Love the composition of the image.

    We recently had the same experience seeing the Norwegian Christian Radich docked in St. Maarten, Dutch West Indies, next to the cruise ship Freedom of the Seas. Quite a comparison!

      Agreed.. Terrific contrast!
      I am full of admiration for people who go to sea in the tall ships, but my personal preference is for a luxury cruise ship :)

    I'll take a tall ship any day over the box-like cruise ship. She's a beauty.
