From the first shot above , as they are entering the harbour , you can see 2 private "yachts" The one on the left is called Dubai..

 

 

Dubai (yacht)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Dubai is the name of a yacht currently owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of the Emirate of Dubai and the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates. This vessel is 162 metres (531 ft) long, is the third largest yacht in the world after Azzam and Eclipse.[1] Including crew it can hold more than 115 Guests on it.[2] Designed by Andrew Winch, with interior design by Platinum Yachts, it cost US$400 million. The construction was originally planned for Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei before 1996 as a joint project between Blohm + Voss and Lurssen shipyards. Progess stopped until 2001 when the hull was acquired by Platinum Yachts for Sheikh Mohammed Rashid Al Maktoum. The yacht, previously named Platinum, Panhandle and Golden Star, was then renamed Dubai.

When you're worth close to USD$50 billion (which is only what can be accounted for) you could buy the Dawn Princess as a tender just to keep the Harem of mistresses & their offspring away from the Senior wife, the multiple junior wives and his "legitimate" 23 kids on the Dubai.

 

How's that world cruise looking now micC? Head bedroom steward maybe! :p :eek:

 

It would be interesting what type of tips you may pick-up or you just might get to keep your noggin as an alternative. ;)

 

Cheers r

 

:cool:

I wonder why Capt William Kent is not the Captain? He was going to take over in Italy.
