The cruise ship 'MSC Magnifica' paid her first visit to Greenock today.
She arrived very early - around 06:20 - and was met with heavy rain and not too warm weather.
I'm pleased to say that when she departed at 18:00 the weather had improved considerably.

On my way home I popped in to the James Watt Dock and took a few images of 'Big Eagle' - a luxury yacht.
The cost of chartering her is about £109,000 for the Caribbean, and £116,000 for the Mediterranean.
