Regal Princess arrives in Greenock (Image: George Munro)
REGAL Princess became the first large cruise ship to call at Greenock when she sailed into the Ocean Terminal this morning.
The impressive vessel was soaked in the morning sunshine as she berthed at the town's cruise ship terminal just before 7am.
Operated by Princess Cruise Lines and capable of carrying almost 4300 passengers, the huge ship has been a familiar sight at Greenock Ocean Terminal in recent years.
She boasts over 1400 balconies which give sweeping sea views for passengers and also has a glass-floor walkway extending 28 feet beyond the edge of the ship.
The gigantic vessel has also been the setting for the American and Australian versions of the reality show "The Real Love Boat".
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
