Not on the Tyne but found this intresting video of the new Balmoral conversion at the Blohm & Voss yard Germany, maybe she will be one of the cruise ships next year!

She was back again today (31/05/2016) refreshing her cargo of passengers. Not possible to get a shot from Northumbria Quay so I went "join hunting" instead. The only sign is the discontinuity in the lines of the welded seams along the side plating. Nice job.
