Monarch of the Seas, Amsterdam (III) & Coral Princess
On May 14th, 2007, San Pedro welcomed a trio of ocean going ladies.  Parked in her usual spot at Pier 93 was Monarch of the Seas.  Around the corner at 92 and 91 respectively were  the 91,000grt Coral Princess (sister of Island Princess), which made her debut in 2003 and Holland America's 61,000grt Amsterdam.which had her maiden voyage in 2000.
Coral Princess was supposed to leave at four but apparently rescheduled to stay in port for that day.  In fact she was there until Friday when she left for Vancouver, so we were early for the five and six pm departures of the other two ships.  If the port website had listed her all week at the time we wouldn't have gone so early.  So we climbed aboard our favorite harbor tour ship, Fiesta, and took some fun shots of the three ships in port.  Below, proof that even dock workers have an aesthetic sense: note the matching colors of cranes and ships.
