Not the Gothic or Reina del Mar, could be an Empress ship from the blurred name on the bow looks like something of something, but great photos all round and the sight of all those ships lining the dock walls was a sight for sore eyes and brought back the glory of the former days of yore, always seemed to be that most of the ships always looked better than the one you were joining!!
