Love won't hurt anymore, it's an open smile on a friendly shore. It's LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! It's LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! It's LOOOOOOOOOOOVE!
The Diamond Princess is back in Hobart. No, not uber-moron Paris Hilton, the ruddy great ship! Registered in Bermuda, primarily cruising in Alaska and the Mexican Riviera during the northern summer, like Paris, she does spread her charms around.
Also like Paris (maybe), she entertains 2,674 passengers and 1,238 crew at a time!
[Ahem.]
You can't miss this one on the journey into work, as the ship itself tends to tower over most of Hobart's buildings. It's a biggun.
A quick look at their website tells me that this Ship has more to do than most Tasmanian towns and cities. Just some of the stuff includes FOUR swimming pools, a spa and fitness centre, a theatre for Princess' original Broadway and Las Vegas-style productions, a cinema, a Casino, FOUTREEN bars, an atrium with shops, two bars, art gallery, library and writing room, a wedding chapel, Internet cafes, a hair salon and a nine-hole golf putting course and two computerized golf simulators.
Why bother leaving the boat?
I don’t even know what this little boat is doing, but I suspect that it is collecting all of the expensive jewellery and mink coats that clumsy passengers accidently drop overboard.

Tourists everywhere at the moment.
Every time I'm at Circular Quay I go over as close as possible to drool over the cruise liners. Never seen such huge and luxurious ships in all my life. We saw Millennium and Rhapsody of the Seas. A crew member waved to 5-year-old Dean. I asked Dean: "If the man would invite us aboard right now and let us sail around the world starting now, would you go (without saying goodbye to Mum and Dad)?" Dean was hesitant. I was ready to go!
