ALBANY was abuzz with cruise ship passengers last week.
The Sun Princess arrived early on Wednesday giving passengers the chance to enjoy day tours around Albany and the markets at Alison Hartman Gardens.
The Rhapsody of the Seas arrived on Thursday.
The cruise ship arrivals continue next week with the Seven Seas Mariner on November 10, Dawn Princess on November 23 and the Pacific Sun on December 14.
The cruise ships are generally welcomed by a lone piper as they dock, with volunteer guides on hand throughout the CBD providing assistance.
A fleet of buses take them into the city where community markets have been set up in Alison Hartman Gardens.
