Daphne profile's seems to have changed a bit since her days with Carras Cruises. Danae's profile seems more as it was when they were Carras fleet-mates or rather twins. Nice to see her still sailing.

Folks, that is not the DAPHNE, which explains why her profile looks different! This is a ferry, not sure of her names at the moment without some research.

The PRINCESS DAPHNE is now sailing for the German operator Ambiente; here is a photo of her taken last week at Lisbon by Luis Miguel Correia:

Nice to see the Daphne looks very much as she did with Carras Cruises. I wonder if she is as spacious with a full compliment of pax around 425? She probably carries more now.

DAPHNE's pax count has never really changed over the past 35 years, since new decks and accommodations have not been added to her, nor to her sister DANAE. Her current pax capacity is listed as 440.

You can come out the corner Debs

we all have 'brainstorms' and I can see why you thought it was Daphne.

It's fine, but next time you have to type one hundred times 'I will check more carefully whether it's really Daphne'.

Right, thank you for making me feel a bit better...although I wasn't down in the mouth about it..yes the funnel is similar to DAPHNE's and I guess that's what threw me...and yes Ernst, I'll be busy typing and send you the copy.
