In general, verification of any photo or video before it becomes evidence to be relied upon, is a multi prong process.Used to be more simple but in high tech times it has become more complicated.. Yes, we see what we see and it looks bad, but most who are commenting were not eyewitnesses, and even if they were they may not have the best perspective. .What are we looking at? ..perspective, distances, depths, conditions, time of day, who took it,, their background, equip used, among many items to be examined. Many including me, will await the investigative results! Til then, I am sure there will be enhanced degree of care on the bridge!

very nice pamphlet and the ticket itelf has nice artwork of the temple. . I enjoyed your pics abd posts about the three diff stops on your tour and also a post by your cruismate Scorfman. It does seem that yoyr thirs stop was very crowded....same for other places you visited. Here are my favs: ( then I have to go back to catch up to your other posts)

I figured points might have come into it.. either for booking or earning them..

we found loungers in shaded areas. under.umbrellas or maybe a canopy..great views and delightful breeze.. depends on time of day abd ships orientation.. go out early or late or on a port day

He is indeed our CC guru on all things "ship stuff". And breaks it down for those of us without any tech background

I was waiting for you to post .will spend some time reading through your points Thank you fir taking the time...with detailed commentary. hcat

On Ascent..white night party was out. The new deck party is Shine the Night or similar name.... metallic and glitzy dress is in.. (starts at 10:30 p.m.)

She knew more about the EDGE than anyone, and generously shared her knowledge ..mapped out cabin locations, etc.. She was also well known in her community for neo natal care and innovation! She is still remembered and missed by many.

They may receive group recognition, extra time off, telephone cards/ calls home.. This is from positive comments via cards or scan of the QR code in the daily (do they actually read those?,) As for the survey..very unfortunate how it is designed and used...turns staff into beggars..less than 10 is trouble!

agree about the Chihuly.. and may the Fourth be with you as well!

glad your reno has gone well so far. looking forward to the blog .. we have been to many of the ports but a few will be new and exciting for us to read about esp from your upbeat and happy perspective

We got some great photos on Ascent. But we had to go to the few available set up locations in the evening. We were able to put together a nice album. of prints and they gave us the digital prints as well. The photo staff members were very helpful and gave us good advice.

only know Jim from these Boards..Have learned so much from the knowledge he shares....but alot of the tech stuff is way over my head! But he and you and a few others have a great eye for shots..that's the gift! (another guru was Vt Cruiser.. now an angel in heaven....I used to e mail her my photos..she would get them sized right and posted, ..now I can at least do that myself..but we worked well together on line!) looking forward to the rest of your posts!

taking a night off ...some of the best nights of a criuise..just kicking back

At first I did not like the dining rm look, but see it is def lighter and brighter. .We don't gamble but hope it is a pleasant space for those who do..
