Nice!

Wow, that photo of the turtle is fabulous! Should be published in Nat Geo or something! Love it!

How did you get that sea urchin in your hand? I stepped on one and it was the same as if it was a porcupine. I got about 50 spines in my foot?

 

happy crusing 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌞

Great pictures, thank you. We look forward to boarding Eclipse in May.

Hi Dave,

Boy do we miss the beautiful Eclipse! Today I am looking out of my window at about 1 1/2' of snow,

Thanks for sharing the photos!!

 

And also thanks for doing such a great job on the spreadsheets!

 

You´ve got me on the luncheon photo :D!

 

Still working on my review and I just have "arrived" in Aruba :rolleyes:. O.k., it´ll be a bit lengthy with loads of pictures...

Linda and I enjoyed our cruise with all of you as well. We have been luckier than Cruiseaholic, the weather in Missouri has been unseasonably warm and dry since our return, but I hear old man winter is coming back next week! I hope all of our fellow cruisers got home safely and we look forward to our paths crossing with you on future cruises. Bob and Linda

Our dive guide in St. Lucia placed the sea urchin on my hand. He had me turn my hand so that the urchin was upside down to show me how it latched on to me although it did not hurt.

Thank you. Funny thing is that my daughter and I are not sure which one of us took that photo as we were passing the camera back and forth at the time! Here is a photo my daughter took of a sea turtle that was swimming above us in Bonaire:

Wendy,

 

we got 12 inches of snow yesterday. Would have been awful nice if we had boarded Eclipse yesterday!!

Hi, mahdnc.

Neat photos. Have you done a write-up as well? Would love to read the pros and cons of the places and the ship itself. We sail this itinerary at the end of March. We have done most of the itinerary before, but this is our first time on Eclipse.
