More Liverpool

Commonly called Paddy's Wigwam, the Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King was opened in 1967 and constructed over 5 years. The large crypt, at the base of the church was constructed before WWII, but the Cathedral's build was halted due to the war. So in early 1960, through a design competition, architect Frederick Gibberd (a protestant) won the project to create a building that would work around existing crypt and also have direct lines of sight to the altar, with seating for 3000. The roof is surrounded by a crown of thorns on the exterior and the stain glass lantern tower is the largest circular assembly.

PAPEETE - NIGHT LIFE- BACHLORETTE PARTY

By Patricia Patrick • January 19, 2026
I threw together an impromptu Bachelorette party for Angie tonight! Angie and Gian are getting married for a third time in Hawaii next week.They will be alone this time and it turns out she never had a Shower or Bachelorette to celebrate her first 2 marriages on the Ship, last May! Our girl deserved a fun night to celebrate her! So we took over a section the outdoor seating at Les 3 Brassuers, and their great band had us all up dancing! It's amazing what you can do with a bunch of WhatsApp messages to fellow ladies, some tulle, sparkles and always handy flower lei's ! One of the ladies even went and bought her some lingerie! I love our supportive community!

PAPEETE, FRENCH POLYNESIA

By Patricia Patrick • January 19, 2026
I got to go Sailing Again! We were supposed to head to the COOK ISLANDS after the lovely Rangiroa and the Tuamotu Archipelago, but due to stormy weather there, with all unprotected tender ports, they made the decision to head us southwest, back to the protected port in Papeeta (Tahiti). We got lucky and Holly ( pictured below) found us a sailboat available for charter.

RANGIROA, FRENCH POLYNESIA - Drone Shots

By Patricia Patrick • January 14, 2026
Since Janette Emerich is generous enough to share her drone photos with all of us on board the Ship, I have to share them with you all. This beauty is why I said we felt like we were in a screen saver the whole day in Rangiroa! I love the height perspective in the photos it really captures so much more. Blue Lagoon below:
