Our Princess a ship fit through quite well. It was quite cold outside so took a lot of courage to stand out and look at things as we went through the canal. As we passed by a local restaurant people would come outside and blow bugles and cheer and make noise as we went by and the large ship. There were a lot of fairies to bring cars back-and-forth across the canal.
