Adventure of the SeasDuring our hike along the coastal barrens between Shoal Point and Chebucto Head I photographed the Adventure of the Seas, a cruise ship that often visits Halifax. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Details from Wikipedia: Adventure of the Seas is a Voyager-class cruise ship operated by Royal Caribbean International. The vessel was launched and entered service in 2001.
