- This page
will show official and commercial postcards of cruise ships due
to be delivered during 2001. I will add cards for the ships as
they become available, and any help in finding these cards would
be appreciated. I will purchase cards, or swap for others that
I have available. These cards are not for sale unless it specifically
states otherwise. This page is still under construction.

uses the same image as a card of Grand Princess, and examination
with a magnifying glass shows that the ship's name has not even
been changed.

maiden voyage from Southampton on 16th May 2001. For further

advantage of not giving ships real names is that different postcards
are not needed for each ship!

is another generic Renaissance postcard for R One to R
Nine - a nice enough card until one notices the hopelessly
skewed horizon. The image beneath it shows the same card adjusted
to correct this fault.
