Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
There’s a big ol’ cruise ship docked here in Ocho Rios Bay, Jamaica. Ocho Rios is one of the major tourist towns in Jamaica, and Jonathan reckons that the ship is either the Carnival Victory or Triumph. You can certainly spot the distinctive coloured ‘fin’ towards the boat’s stern, and is that a pool I can see on deck?
So what if this is in the Caribbean? I’m not jealous of James being there if that’s what you think…
Thanks to Carson Diltz and Jonathan

Definitely a Carnival (says the guy who has been on 28 cruises in the past five years, including Carnival). And yes, the pool is always on the top floor. Why would you put a pool where you can’t see sun?
Yaa mon! I feel like smoking a fat spliff right about now . . .
My friends, that ship is Carnival’s fantasy i´ve been on it in my honey moon, an like randall says, that´s the pool…and at the front is the basketball court an climbing wall…
Went to Ochos Rios in March 2005, but was on Royal Carrib Mariner of the Seas… here is a link to Dunn River Falls, in Ochos Rios.. neat falls that you walk UP with guides.. note the large parking lot for the attraction..
You walk up from the sandy beach below, and go up about 200 feet.
