Post your favorite CRUISE PICTURES

We have done 2 Canada/NE cruises. The last one we had several days of intense fog where you basically couldn't see 5 feet in front of you. If I close my eyes, I can still hear that damn fog horn of the ship, going off every 5 minutes. I can hear it in my sleep. But that isn't unusual for this type of cruise.

If you have a choice of ports, try and pick Bar Harbor over Portland. While Portland is nice, bar Harbor is exceptional.

When the tide is low, you can walk on the sea bed to Bar Island. It is a terrific walk where you can see what life under the sea is like. When the tide is in, this is under maybe 30 feet of water.

Bar Harbor is also the home to Acadia National Park, with it's high point, Cadillac Mountain

IN the Park itself, you have amazing views of the cliffs and rugged coastline

One favorite spot is Thunder Hole, but you have to time the tide just right to get the full effect

Canada / New England is definitely going on our "bucket list" - beautiful pics.

The ones we have enjoyed the most -- going from Ft Lauderdale to Montreal and then going from Boston to Montreal and back to Boston.

Great pictures -- we have experienced heavy in Alaska, Baltic, along the Pacific coast as well as Canada/New England. After a while the fog horn sounding every 5 minutes can get on your nerves. I use ear plugs. DH sleeps through everything.

Love the colors in the clouds in front of the ship.

Makes me dizzy to look down.

Airlie Beach, Australia. QE in the center.

Australia at one time was on our bucket list.

YES, Krazy Kruizers is wise to have had Australia on that magic bucket list. Understand Krazy Kruizers cannot travel as much these days. As noted in the live/blog below, we got off of the Celebrity Solstice in February doing both Australia and New Zealand, plus, plus. We were with the six other couples in our travel group from Central Ohio. Check out these postings for more info/background on these many great ports stops, plus the many wonderful pre- and post-cruise adventures.

We are now working on our planned mid March-mid April 2015 Africa (Kenya-Zanzibar-Madagascar-South Africa-Zimbabwe-Botswana) adventure. Had lunch last Wednesday with the retired director of the Columbus Zoo who has taken twelve trips to Africa and worked with Jack Hanna. Fun doing that future research!! More visuals to be shared. Below are a few from Australia to prove why it is worth visiting there. Sorry, didn't have room here to share any from wonderful Sydney, the Great Barrier Reef, New Zealand, etc. Those are ALL on the full live/blog.

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

Back from doing a 14-day Celebrity Solstice, Jan. 20-Feb. 3, 2014, Sydney to Auckland adventure on this ship and getting a big sampling for the wonders of "down under” before and after this cruise. Go to:

for much more information and lots of wonderful pictures on these amazing sights in this great part of the world. Now at 67,248 views for this fun posting.

With Craig Wickham, the operator of Exceptional Kangaroo Island on this famed Australian island near Adelaide, he took us on a "hunt", successfully, to find more Koalas out in the wild. Here is just one example of these Koala finds that we enjoyed so much. Aren't they cute? So lovable?:

The Kuranda Scenic Rail trip took us back to Cairns along a dramatic routing, plus interesting sights, dramatic waterfalls, major engineering work, many train tunnels, big bridges, etc. The rail line dates back to 1891. For our group of six, we did the upgrade to the "gold" rail seating with plenty of wine, nice food/snacks, etc., in a wonderful, old-style rail car with great service and attention by the staff The great company and nice sights (plus the flowing wine), made it very much fun on a day with on and off patches of rain.:

From the Daintree Rainforest and National Park near Cairns, Australia, here are some samples of our exploring there. First, is one picture to illustrate the somewhat challenging 1.43 miles circular hike in the deep, deep of this dramatic rainforest. Lots of rocks, up and down paths, twists and turns, hard work, etc., as this picture shows. But we survived!! Even at our ages. Also in the Mossman Gorge, there was a long swinging bridge. Not Indiana Jones, but for us it was super spectacular. Second is one of my favorites as it show a member of our group looking at one of these huge trees in the middle of this rainforest and contemplating its majesty, size and history. And I told John the next morning, the picture shows his more photogenic side!:

From Port Arthur, the historic Tasmanian penal colony seen during our stop in Hobart, here is just one of the many views for some of the sights there. This gives an overview for a portion of this prison site. This location was nearby to the water area as the prisoners would arrive from England for this “visit”. It took six to nine months to make the journey from England to this distant part of the world.:

Terry -- beautiful pictures.

We were fortunate that we traveled as much as we did -- did many land tours all over Europe for years -- saw places you can't see from a ship as they are too fat inland.

Then I finally convinced DH to take a cruise and not live out of a suitcase for several weeks and always having to get up early for buses, planes, trains and cars.

Just a little different view at the top.

Always love the colors of the caribbean.

Great pictures
