There's another new cruise ship in town today: Crystal Symphony.
The thing is massive. It looks so out of place in the liliputian Apia Harbor.

Kris and I walked into the port past the disinterested workers to the dock where a sprawling souvenier stand was set up to sell grossly overpriced Samoan knick-knacks to tourists too lazy to walk 20 minutes out of the port to the market.
A group of 20 or so Filipino crew had set up a basketball hoop on one of the dock and were trying to play "21" in the stiff Apia breeze. It was all very comical.
