Yes, I am. I use the Drop Down menu all the time - but not today. Quite simply, nothing drops down...!
There was a problem with it yesterday in that the menu would drop down but one had to click twice on the category one wanted to see before it would open. Today, not even that...

My word, someone who has dared to say that they hate drone photos.
I know that we don't often agree but in this instance, yes me too.
Apart from that yes, I've spent ages travelling to see a ship and spent hours in the cold and the rain.
Spent hours waiting for a ship to sail because for some reason it's depature has been delayed.
I would never spend any time trying to convince anyone of the virtures of a container ship over a general cargo ship. Yes, like cars, they are machines yes yes there are pretty ones and handsome one and some down-right ugly ones. And yes I can feel very sorry whe some of them are sold off for scrap. I'm no longer a shipspotter as I do not travel to take photographs of ships any more - largely because the 'pretty ones' are all gone, however, I am a ship enthusiast.

It's a relief to know that others have been getting this 'instruction' regarding Java. When such things happen I always worry that something is amiss with my computer. I have ignored it.

I for one most certainly hope that is not the way in which you would like to see Shipspotting develop.

Shipping News and information / Re: Cruiseliner "Carnival Liberty" remains in St. Thomas after fire
« on: September 15, 2015, 11:08:45 AM »
We are passengers aboard trains, buses, planes,in cars and on board ferries so why do we suddenly become guests aboard ships?
How are the 'passengers' categorised aboard the likes of the Queen Mary 2 when she is in trans Atlantic service. Are the people who are travelling just one way across the Atlantic referred to as passengers because they have booked passage aboard a ship on a line voyage and yet those people who are making the round trip and therefore using the ship as a cruise vessel are they referred to as guests?
We are guests in land-based hotels, resorts and other forms of overnight accommodation.

« on: August 07, 2015, 11:17:19 AM »
The vessel is the Egyptian presidential yacht El Horriya (formerly the Egyptian Royal Yacht Mahroussa). I believe that she is in fact now named El Mahroussa. She is 150 years old and was built by the Samuda Brothers, whose shipyard was on the Thames.

Shipping News and information / Re: Which ferry had the most modern interior for its time?
« on: July 26, 2015, 12:12:20 PM »
Well, as I said Derek, the question was open to interpretation. As I submitted my suggestions I thought of those lovely DFDS ships sailing out of Harwich but then it seems that all the DFDS ships on whatever routes were all very stylishly fitted out. There we are just looking at Northern Europe when there were fine ferries linking the north and south islands of New Zealand.

An interesting question: but the words "for its time" are rather open to interpretation. Personally, I would say that the Danish ferry Hammershus, built in 1936 and used on the overnight service between Copenhagen and the island of Bornholm had the most modern interiors for its time. Likewise, the 1937-built DFDS ferry Kronprins Olav was also given very stylish and up-to-the minute modern interiors that still looked fresh twenty years later.

Simply do a Google search for Ocean Liners with four funnels and then click on Images and there you'll have a whole variety of pictures of said liners.

I suppose that your phrase "quite nice...." sums her up. She's not unattractive, just disappointing. She could easily pass for a sister ship to Oceania's Marina and Riviera. I'd rather hoped for something better.
