HeatherInFlorida Posted November 19, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I finally uploaded several (not nearly all!!!:) ) of our cruise photos. I've tried to include pictures that give a feel of the Oosterdam as well as an experience of the islands we visited. There are 2 albums because Webshots only allows 100 per album so I have Half Moon Cay in the second album. There is a series of shots taken from our verandah (port side) as we left Tortola at sunset. It was an evening I'll never forget. When you see them try to imagine the pictures filling your entire view. And then imagine how anyone can wonder why we love to cruise. I hope you all enjoy them.

WindyCity Posted November 19, 2004 #3 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Great pictures Heather - we are doing the same itinerary on the Westerdam - so you have whetted my appetite!! Can't wait! Could you tell me - how many ships docked in St Maarten when you were there? I have seen that there will be 8 ships there the day we are - going to be very very crowded! Thanks again for the wonderful pictures! The sunset was STUPENDOUS! SUPERLATIVE! FANTASTIC!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for the wonderful pictures! The sunset was STUPENDOUS! SUPERLATIVE! FANTASTIC!! Hello... how did you determine that there are going to be 8 ships in St Maarten when you are there? I am curious for our cruise as well and also the other ports. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for the wonderful pictures! The sunset was STUPENDOUS! SUPERLATIVE! FANTASTIC!! There were 4 ships in port when we were in St. Maarten dumping some 10,000 people on the island. I cannot imagine how they could get 8 in there. Are you sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted November 19, 2004 #9 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Thanks for sharing your cruise photos with everyone. They are great. Last winter we had 6 ships in St Maarten. Four of us were docked, The Queen Mary 2 and another small (can't remember its name) tendered people in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted November 19, 2004 #10 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Yes, I am sure - I looked at 2 different sites that show Port schedules and it shows 8 ships: Maasdam, Carnival Glory, Norwegian Dawn, Explorer OTS, Carnival Victory, Celebrity Century, Caribbean Princess, Westerdam. I am sure there will be ships tendering in and the island is going to be overrun with tourists! Site I checked was through cruiseclues.com - then their port schedules. The other site is one that I think Orcrone mentioned - can't remember the site address - something like cruisecal.com maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhannah Posted November 19, 2004 #16 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Thanks for showing us your great cruise! Viewing your pix brought back wonderful memories of our Eastern Caribbean cruise aboard the Zuiderdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobpatj Posted November 19, 2004 #17 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Ahhhhh....wonderful memories of our Oosterdam cruise, last January. Thank you for sharing your pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNeal Posted November 19, 2004 #18 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Heather, thank you so much for your great photos from the Oosterdam. I'm looking forward to my cruise on her Feb 5th. :) You took excellent photos and I enjoyed them greatly! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekerr19 Posted November 19, 2004 #19 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Heather- Great photos - thank you so much for sharing them. I am STILL trying to get all mine uploaded. My review is almost done, though I'm not sure how much it will matter as the ship is out of service now. We had such a great time though - I want to share it all. Thanks Again!

HeatherInFlorida Posted November 19, 2004 Author #20 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Laura, you absolutely must share! No matter that the ship is no longer with HAL. It's the experience you're sharing. As I said on another thread, by sharing my review and my photos it seems to extend the short time we were actually on the cruise. I'm looking forward to your review and your pics. Uploading is easy ... it's the labelling that takes time. I worked most of yesterday afternoon. But it's worth it when I read the wonderful comments from everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakrewser Posted November 20, 2004 #21 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Lovely pictures, Heather. It's nice to see the ship we'll be on in just a couple of months. I can gaze at your pictures and hope the days go by quickly! Maybe I'll download some to my laptop - we've got two cross-country plane flights (tomorrow and next sat.) and then a week with our families (siblings, in-laws, nieces, nephews, our kids and their familes). It'll be nice having 25 of us for Thanksgiving dinner, but the rest of the time? I'd rather be cruising! Make sure everybody plays nice while I'm away! :rolleyes: -dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherInFlorida Posted November 20, 2004 Author #22 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Enjoy your Thanksgiving with your families, Dave! There's no better place to be for Thanksgiving. We're staying home and will have Thanksgiving with 15 friends, but it's not the same as being with with family. Still, it's a time for thanks for everyone and everything!:) Download anything you want. My trip is your trip. Which cruise are you going on the Oosterdam? Same one? You'll tell all, right? While you're gone I'll try to keep things calm here!;) Actually, it's been pretty good lately, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCat Posted November 20, 2004 #25 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Heather, Those were wonderdul pictures:p How was your experience with the cabana on Half Moon Cay? May I ask if you also got the butler service, if so, how was it:confused: Did you see the green cabana (I have it reserved for December, so I was wondering if it had been repaired)? Also, on Kakao Beach...how much were the chairs and umbrella? Did the restuarant have conch fritters (:p my favorite:p)? One last thing...on Tortola...other than Pussers, is there anywhere else we should try and go to? We already have an all-day sailing trip with Patouche to see The Caves, The Indians, & the Norman Island. Thank you SOOOO much!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
