    This might be of interest to any lovers of super-sized cruise ships, we get a couple arrive every few days here during summer and today the Queen Mary 2 and Celebrity Solstice arrived early and were captured in time lapse.

    They totally dwarf the 22,000 ton ferry in the foreground. Which by the way began her life in 1995 for Irish Ferries as the "Isle of Innisfree" and now sails between Picton and Wellington as the "Kaitaki". Still has some old Guinness branding in the bar :)

    That's really cool!

    Celebrity ship did a far neater job of parking - Queen Mary made good use of the bow-thrusters!!

    I'm looking forward to the QM coming to Dun Laoghaire in May, should be some sight.
