And plenty of tourists about both here and up town. I did spot some DeBradelei Wharf bags.

I was fortunate to be involved in setting up the Cruise Terminal and worked there for nearly three seasons. The first two being the best. Alas it went along the agency route and it went to pot. We had 5 cruise ships in one day, that was fun.

Glad you managed to get the Constellation having it's sewage removed, Colin. Bet it was riding higher after that.

Colin.
From memory, 3 drop ins, 2 turn arounds, split between Marina and eastern arm and Hammonds berth. I think there were some pictures in local press.

Good to see a luxury bus being provided for our esteemed visitors, not. Nothing like making them understand they've arrived in a poverty stricken area eh?

First time the Constellation has visited for a long time, used to be a regular visitor. Colin's photo shows her receiving fuel from the bunker barge alongside.
AIDAblu has visited Dover eight times this year and is due back again on tuesday. Seen here with Dover lifeboat heading out to sea. She has a very large video screen on deck forward of the funnel so don't expect Sue will be booking a cruise! Rather an good looking ship by comparison to most of the current generation of cruise ships, most of which look like a seagoing version of the Gateway Flats. Passed her out to sea the other night and her myriad lights are arranged to form a most attractive pattern.

melissa dear,those are not cruise ships,they are prison transport ships.its a one way trip to some obscure beach miles from anyware in australia if you are lucky enough to survive the boring trip,you will have to build your own hut make your own tea and cook your own meals.but before you do that you have to catch your own dinner grow your own veggies and pick your tea leavea.

Just curious here. I meant to have asked what the vessel alongside was for, Diana says sewage removal, Ed says refueling.
