I plan on plenty of "Room-Spam"...

 

Arizona Cruisers hid 10 notes for me before drydock, and we managed to find 8... :D

 

MaxxedOut was next door in 8235 and it was awesome running into them everywhere.

Sea Days...

 

 

 

Having the omelette station located in pizza was brilliant. I never saw more than 4 people waiting. And since he does 3 orders at a time, hardly any wait.

 

I was able to get coffee, eggs, bacon, juice and fruit every morning in short order. Hit the stairs, and my room was right there.

 

Did I mention I loved the room ?

 

A couple Atrium pics taken in the wee hours of the first night.

 

 

 

[campdaan]

And the Promanade...

 

 

 

 

My camera is a Canon SX20is... I really like it. I bought it for the 28mm wide angle, but discovered it has an amazing zoom...

 

Check it out...

 

This is from the balcony...

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty cool !

[campdaan]

More room spam...

 

The new flat-screens were installed last month and they looked pretty good. The channel selection is mediocre when you have 300 channels at home, however it was just fine for vacation.

 

The TV cabinet had a halogen light that had a dimmer by the vanity, so it became the "Towel Animal Display Unit"...

 

 

 

We did a Cabin Crawl the first sea day at 10:30 and had 9 different rooms to look at. Including 7258 (double checks to make sure no typo's) a regular room with a huuuuuuuuuge balcony.

 

I also learned a toothbrush would be replacing my bungee cord...

 

 

Pretty clever !

[campdaan]

We had lunch in the dining room after the cabin crawl...

 

They sat us at one of the back window tables.

 

The mongolian steak salad was very tasty !

 

 

 

 

 

 

[campdaan]

We had table 168, right by the entrance to the Dining Room. Near the Maitre'D station.

We had a great time bantering with him and his staff.

Great photos Daan!

 

Must upgrade mine, from that tired old point and shoot, to a

Canon SX20 like that.....wow.

 

BTW, thanks for organizing everything. The cabin crawl

was terrific. The whole week was fun as we would unexpectedly

run into fellow CCers on tours and on the ship.

 

I know there's more great shots ahead. Can't remember seeing

you without your camera.

Good stuff so far, Daan. It's almost like I was there. Oh yeah, I was. :D

Thanks for the kind words Bob, It was a pleasure.The cabin crawl worked well and I think it will be standard fare on future rollcalls.

 

The SX20 has been replaced by something similiar. We bought a small Canon Powershot A800 in St. Maarten just prior to embarkation, to replace the frustrating old nikon point and shoot.

 

We are pleased with the features, and the pics are fantastic.

 

One of the nice things about the canon is the manuals are on CD, I downloaded them, so they are always at my fingertips.

 

I have yet to use any of their software, but probably should !

[campdaan]

Good stuff so far, Daan. It's almost like I was there. Oh yeah, I was. :D

 

 

Yup. I saw a lot of Happy People... :D

 

It was great meeting everyone !

[campdaan]

The first 2 sea days were a blast.

 

I used the steamroom and hot tub in the Spa. I love the showers in the spa. They have multi heads and are like a personal car-wash.

 

I found the "Coins"...

 

 

 

And took a ton of pics...

 

 

 

[campdaan]

Serenity...

 

 

The Miracle has a lot of color.

 

 

 

 

[campdaan]

Our Cruise mascot Waddles got to relax.

 

Waddles is well known to CCer's.

 

 

We had sunsets going down and sunrises coming back. And a full moon.

 

We also saw a waterspout and a rainbow.

 

 

 

More room spam...

I never saw "Bathrobe Guy" at the Buffet.

 

However, he did come down to the Casino Bar.

 

 

 

Next up... St Maarten...

Nice meeting you Daan and the few others we got to chat with in the Serenity area. Thanks for the CC shopping bag - I'll think of you every time I'm in the grocery store ;)

[Jimmy Geegitz]

Great Review. Looking forward to more!
