Cruise Ships in the new Google Maps

Google recently announced a drastic overhaul of the online maps (maps.google.com). Its invite only while the engineers at the Googleplex work on fine tuning it. Well I was able to score an invite to preview it. They are gorgeous. A bit slow to load but that will be fixed in due course.

A key feature of the new maps is a Google-Earth like 3D view right in the browser. (I know this existed before, but it required a plugin and never really ran correctly.)

One of the first things I do with maps is to check out the major cruise ports and see what ships were photographed.

So far it looks like only Miami is updated. But if I find more I’ll add them. Keep in mind this is entirely 3D.

What I’m guessing is the Carnival Imagination.
