Something a little different on this Victoria Day Weekend for PostcardFriendshipFriday
It is n attractive ship, but why smaller?
ReplyDeleteCompared to the MS Queen V, the PS Queen V looks like it might have been rather crowded, with only 1,000 less people! Then again, there would be no frivolous attractions on board :)
ReplyDeleteI've never been on a big cruise ship, only smaller ones.
