The city of Norfolk is quite proud of their new addition, the Half Moone Cruise and Celebration Center. And rightly so, it is an excellent facility from which to cruise.     First glimpse of the Elizabeth River from Empress of the Seas. View to the west.     View to the east of the Elizabeth River.     Nauticus, USS Wisconsin to the left, Half Moone Cruise Terminal to the right. Note the luggage carts in the center.     Drydocks     Here comes the fuel...     Here's how the fuel got to us...     Not sure what you call these, but they look like a lot of fun!     Spirit of Norfolk passes in front of the Portsmouth Naval Hospital.     Our cruise ship was bigger than theirs!     Luggage is adding up!     Just how long IS that driveway, anyway?     View of Nauticus from the cruise terminal.     Bow of Empress sticking out from behind the terminal building.     View of Empress from the USS Wisconsin.     Sailing vessel glides by during the muster drill.     Bridge crew gathers on the wing... getting ready to head out.     Bet I know what these folks were wishing!     See the reflection of the Empress in the glass of the cruise terminal.     Some sort of a gospel music festival was taking place as we left. They seemed to be having a good time.     USS Gonzales in drydock.
