From Lois' Hands: Independence of the Seas - St. Maarten, Dutch West Indies

Saturday, April 27, 2013

Good morning,

I took today's images while walking deck 12 of Freedom of the Seas while we were docked in St. Maarten, Dutch West Indies.

Tied up beside us was Independence of the Seas.

Independence is a sister ship copy of Freedom, so looking at her is like looking in the mirror.

We are so close tied up on opposite sides of the dock that I cannot get all of Independence in the same image. ;)

The ships are facing in opposite directions which made for even more interesting image angles. :)

Enjoy!

Lois
