« on: May 16, 2024, 12:34:41 PM »
"Visitors to a tiny beach in Cornwall were greeted with the surreal sight of a giant 113,000 tonnes cruise ship today (Thursday, May 16). Too big to dock in the harbour, the 952ft Caribbean Princess dropped its anchor off a small cove on the Roseland peninsula, using St Anthony Head to shelter from strong south-easterly winds whilst it tendered its passengers to Falmouth."

"With the headland offering some shelter from the south-easterly winds, the cruise ship was guided into position and dropped anchor."

« on: May 09, 2024, 08:57:56 PM »
"The problem is, Princess Cruises has to start putting its guests first. They need to hire someone who knows what their customers want and give them precisely that.
