Laundry Hanging on Balcony of Costa Magica Cruise Ship

Those Balconies Are Not Just for Relaxing and Enjoying the Sunshine!

This picture may look like these two cruise ships are VERY close together, but they are separated by the pier at Grand Turk Island in the Bahamas. Barb Crews, the About.com Guide to Collectibles, took this photo of the Costa Magica balcony that was being used as a clothes dryer while it was moored next to her ship the Holland America Westerdam.

I'll have to admit that I've been guilty of the same offense, but 99 percent of the time, no one sees your balcony this close!
