We have this little beaut on the Tyne tomorrow. Vessel details for: COSTA MEDITERRANEA (Passenger Ship) - IMO 9237345, MMSI 247088200, Call Sign IBCF Registered in Italy | AIS Marine Traffic

POB 0600 ETA 0700. ETD 2100. At 292m LOA she isn't the biggest we've had, but one of the biggest this year - but we do have Queen Victoria to look forward too later in the year - a much more refined lady...

That Titanic style funnel looks all wrong on a modern vessel.

I doubt the Captain will be risking sinking it by swinging past Blyth for a closer look.

He could take it down the Wear towards Pallion to show off the Spire to his passengers.

Nice, but that’s not her. That’s the Pacifica, Mediterranea is visiting tomorrow.

Nice looking boat.

Wouldn't attempt it in the car. Fcuk that.

Apparently the air quality for the passengers on these things is horrendous. Rather than having the opportunity to enjoy the sea air for a couple of weeks passengers breath in all the pollutants that are generated by the vessels massive diesel engine. The pollution is worse than Beijing in some cases.
Air on cruise ships as dirty as Beijing's, study claims

Mag!

No need for language like that. Plenty of Mackems work on the Tyne, as I keep telling them; they need people who can read and write. You wouldn’t qualify.
