The P and O ship Azura was ahead of us in port today. Although it's unusual to have two ships in Bonaire on the same day, it's not unheard of, and we've been here in the past with another, smaller ship. But the Azura is a twin of the Emerald Princess (both cruise lines are owned by the parent company Carnival Corporation, as are Carnival Cruise Line, Holland America and several others. Obviously ship designs are shared among the companies). The population of Bonaire is 17000 residents. These two ships hold almost 6400 passengers, plus over 2000 crew. It was a busy day in port!
It was interesting to see how closely the two ships were docked.
