Could she be the Regent Sea, perhaps sailing under the Lions Gate Bridge or some similar span?

It is clearly the Flamenco - Azur is ruled out a she has more "boxy" funnels - and you can see a bit of the typical glass windscreen/handrail in the background.

elad, I call them the 'Baseball caps', worn the right way around of course

If only I had been aboard QM2! I don't think New Flamenco would have looked quite so tiny from her though. It was from the Barcelona Cable Car, I mis-managed to time it right... [by that I mean, we had queued to go up when I thought the time was right, but it was raining and they were debating whether to shut it down & not issuing tickets. After 20 mins I was getting a bit peeved thinking we would miss her departure... but then the cable car people decided to continue & we actually boarded slightly too early, as the latter shots were taken from the lower tower [St. Sebastia] queueing to go back up.

I have abunch of photos of New Flamenco in the Galleries, at Tunis, some with Grand Latino, and at Barcelona, taken from the top of the hotel & cable car. Many more pics can be found here.

She looks sparkling, and very sleek when sailing. Just a pity about the plastic chairs, but all these ships seems to have them nowadays

Great pic Pam. My first cruise in 1989 was on this ship when it was the Premier Majestic. great trip to the Abacos. Cabins were small as we shared a quad with another couple. You could barely get your shoulders between the bunks.
