Well, a picture of one anyway. Marine artist Wyland (he doesn't appear to have another name) was on board Ruby Princess on the cruise just before mine and apparently agreed to paint this dolphin mother and baby in one of the ship's swimming pools as they approached Venice.
Passengers were able to watch his progress live, and the event was also shown on the Movies under the Stars screen by the other pool.
"Dum-de-dum. Can you see what it is yet?"
Well yes, but only because the pool is empty. I just had a quick peek at it, now full of water and people, and you can just about make out some blue lines - if you know to look that is.
Wyland agreed to paint the dolphin and baby as a way to increase awareness of his conservation message, says Princess. Nice sentiment, but not quite sure it works.
