tony@stanton19.freeserve. Posted July 14, 2005 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2005 If anyone has any time that they do not spend on these boards, try downloading Google Earth from the following link. earth.google.com/ Two reasons to do so: 1) It is a really brilliant and fun way to see aerial & satellite photos of the places that you wish to visit on your cruise. It can be a useful way to see just how accessible a place is from the cruse ship dock or how far the airport is to the dock. You can literally (well virtually really) fly around looking below you. 2) If you look at the cruise terminal in New York, your beloved NCL Dawn is bay the dock accompanied by several others.:) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drjpreston Posted July 15, 2005 #9 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I have enjoyed goole earth search of the west coast and Alaska cruises. Dr. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Jim Yep, That was one of the first places I looked at. Doesn't the Space Needle look odd on the pics ? Mount St Helens is good too with the top missing! Try a search on Magic Kingdom and look around EPCOT, Universal Etc. Tip, when looking at areas with significat contours such as the Grand Canyon, tilt the view for a more realistic "flying" experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingbug Posted July 22, 2005 #14 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Hubby introduced me to the google earth site a couple nights ago - we found our house and flew around our area. It wasn't hi-res near my parents' so that was a bust. But we didnt' think of looking at the ships, Disney World, Grand Canyon, Mt. St. Helens, etc. so that'll be the entertainment for the weekend. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
