Day 137/20. Cruise ships, just sitting.

A short drive down to Southampton Water today and a few unusual visitors in port at the moment.
This is the 'Norwegian Star', the most colourful in port today.
The extra pictures show the 'Carnival Breeze'. Its most unusual to see a Carnival branded cruise ship in Southampton, this one just repatriated a large number of UK crew back home from Miami, where she is normally based.
Also extra is the 'Siversea Spirit', a 6 star luxury ship, also sitting doing nothing.
Finally is a distant shot of the 'Marella Discovery 2', formerly the Royal Caribbean 'Legend of the Seas', now renamed and operated at the 'economy' end of cruising by Thomson/Tui. But not operating anythnig today.
It's not unuusual to see 4 cruise ships in Southampton, but all 4 of these are rare visitors. The regular Cunard and P&O ships are currently moored in Weymouth bay, presumably becasue its cheaper than having them sit in port.
