Ha! I live near a place called Pratt's Bottom. Seem to attract strange stuff.

Who would have thought there'd be so many N's.

 

I particularly like the ones from Greenland, which is on my 'to do' list, and the ones from Naples, which we visited on our first cruise. This winter, I'm going to get some of our old photos scanned on to the computer, so I will make sure I do the photos from our first couple of cruises,

Here's my selection of Ns

 

New Orleans, Oceana, 2016

Narvik, part of a ship, 2018

Nosy Be, Madagascar, showing  lovely Royal Star - 190 passengers and this ship really gave us the cruising addiction.

 

Pat

Nosy Be, that name intrigued me, and so I've finally found it on wikipedia. It means 'big island' in Malagasy language. I'm happy now😊. It doesn't take much😉

Avril

[zoe sproodle]

Forgive me for being a bit late but here's a few Ls & Ms:

Ventura in Lisbon, the first port on our first cruise

Oriana approaching Lisbon

Oceana in La Palma, or could be Lanzarote, somewhere in the Canaries beginning with L anyway....

Muscat taken from Oceana

That's the sort of thing I do too Avril. We did four cruises with Royal Star and three of them had similar itineraries in the Indian Ocean where the ship was based. Nosy Be three times and each time overnight, not my most favourite of places but interesting nevertheless. I'm really glad we did cruise the Indian Ocean in the early 2000s before the pirates made it too dangerous. Zanzibar was another exotic port we visited a number of times but we needed a yellow fever jab for that. We were lucky to be able to do those cruises as my step daughter worked for the company and we got some perks!

O is for Olden

Aurora 2002 (old scanned low-res photo)

The rest are Oriana 2013

[Izzywiz]

Thanks for starting the Os. Your pictures of Olden are gorgeous. Here are my Os....

Marella Discovery 2, Olbia, Sardinia

P&O Arcadia, Olden, Norway.

Royal Princess, Odessa, Ukraine....This is the Royal Princess that became Adonia. I love this size of ship. They can get into the more unusual ports

 

 

[Izzywiz]

these are my other Os....

Diamond Princess, Osaka, Japan.

Diamond Princess, Otaru, Japan (2)

Diamond Princess, Otaru, Japan. My Japanese rainbow ice cream was delicious!

[bee-ess]

Oranjestad, Aruba

Sunbird (Sun Cruises) 2000

Azura Leaving Oranjestad 2011 (Celebrity ship in background)

Britannia arrival in Oranjestad 2017

 

[Son of Anarchy]

What a wonderful thread!  It's made realise how few pictures I've taken in recent years of the ship in the ports we've visited.  

 

Note to self: Must take more pictures of the ship when we're in port!

[zoe sproodle]

I know we've been there before under 'J' for Jamaica but here's a couple from Ocho Rios - Celebrity Century (now Marella Explorer 2) and Regal Princess - as far as I'm aware she's still Pacific Dawn as she never made it to CMV as Amy Johnson.  The quality may not be great as these were taken from our hotel during our honeymoon in 98 - back then cruising 'wasn't for us' and we just had a passing interest in the ships that came and went.  We know better now.....

The next 2 are Oslo during Aurora's Xmas markets cruise last year. No cruise ship in these but I just like the pictures!

They are worth the wait, who cares anyway if they are a little out of sequence? Not me!

And mine - mine will be Zeebrugge , it's many things but certainly not Zanzibar.

Thanks.  That was a special cruise for us - we'd had to cancel a cruise last October due to illness but then got the 'good to go' from the doc in early November and got that instead.

O is for:

 

Olden (x 2)

Oslo
