Anyone know their Lepidoptera ? Dressed for a night club I reckon.

That's a lot of passengers, in all of the TV adverts for cruises there's seldom more than a dozen or so people on deck/ in the restaurant/ on a shore excursion to a sparsely populated sunlit port...

Always feel sorry for passengers sailing into Greenock. Can imagine them coming from sunnier climes!
