Photos of Norwegian Gem and Enchantment of the Seas

Sometimes when I am on a cruise, there will be another ship that is doing the same, or almost the same itinerary.  This gives me the opportunity to photograph that ship in a variety of locations, doing different things.  This week, I have posted two photo essays resulting from such coincident itineraries.

The first shows Royal Caribbean’s Enchantment of the Seas during a Bahamas cruise.  Enchantment had sailed from Baltimore, where she is homeported to Port Canaveral, Florida.  Then she sailed to Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas, Coco Cay, and the next day to Nassau.

I was on Norwegian Gem sailing on a similar itinerary out of New York. Of course, Norwegian Cruise Line ships do not call at Royal Caribbean’s private island.  However, Norwegian’s private island is next to Royal’s and so with a telephoto lens, it is possible to get photos of ships calling at Coco Cay from Great Stirrup Cay.

A few weeks later, I was on a Bermuda cruise as was Norwegian Gem.  As a result, I was able to record Gem’s cruise.  The Gem photo essay is at http://beyondships.com/NCLGem-Photos-Bermuda.html
