Noordam Inaugural - CC Group photo is here!

[HeatherInFlorida]

Laura, I love that picture of you and Sonny! Isn't it great when both people come out well in a picture that hasn't been "staged"? With DH and me, usually one of us either has our eyes closed or our mouth open:) .

You looked dashing in your white dinner jacket. :cool:

[HeatherInFlorida]

So are we saying here that Brian has a "magnetic" personality;) ???

Here's an observation I made to Lady Bird (Martha) while aboard the Noordam. Whenever there's a group and Brian is in the middle of it (as in, gathered in a Lounge), it's as if he's "holding court." :D

"Holding Court"?!?!
:eek:
My Sis and I got a big laugh out of that one - Now she's calling me "Queen Elizabeth"...
Thanks!
:D

[i]Maybe NOW I can get them on a cruise with me![/i]

[FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3]If you had ANY idea how funny this statement is.........[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3]The last formal night the ship's photog came around to take pics of all 3 of the group's tables. Brian & Scotty actually only sat at 1 table but wound up in the pics for ALL THREE TABLES. Amazing. FallBride (and Groom) looked really good & I told her so the next evening. She said she hadn't seen the pics - they weren't in the gallery. Someone, who shall remain nameless (but he's very photogenic) had purchased all of them! ;) I just hope he shares!![/SIZE][/FONT]

[AAAAmerican]

Youall looked beautiful and dapper.

Such a wonderful time together is inasmuch a needed pleasure.


How was the New York Times coming in as it was Gratis..?

FOFLMHO ...
If the Tiara fits, dear, you should wear it. ;)
... with pride.

Susan:
So that's where the pics went! We'd love to at least see the table pic from the last formal night. We spent half of our spending money on buying every pic the ship's photog took of us but we couldn't get that one...:p

[ekerr19]

[quote name='bepsf'][SIZE=4][FONT=Garamond]Thanks much--

Sonny looked pretty darned good in his as well - Laura, do you have a pic of Sonny in his White Dinner Jacket too?[/FONT][/SIZE][/quote]

Yes, I do - in fact you are in it too!!! Both of you are wearing your white jackets and you have the wonderful vest with gorgeous studs and cuff links... I'll post it tomorrow.

I think I saw more pics with Brian in them than anyone else, lol!!! He is also in more than a few shots on the DVD - I think the photographers gravitated towards him... :)

Trisha - I ran into Dan looking for the pics the last day... I didn't see that one of your guys either... maybe Greg has it?

Thanks Heather - I like this one better (of me!) than the one Greg posted - I think I was trying notto laugh at something being said behind me and have a weird look on my face in that one...

Usually I close my eyes - I can't believe it didn't happen this time at all. :)

Thanks Lisa! I need to change my avatar picture though - it's about five years old now, lol!!! Some people have no problem recognizing me from the photo, but others say it looks nothing like me... I've definitely gotten older, lol!!!

[RevNeal]

The two table shots I've posted are the only two I have of the kind.
I DO have a few that were taken of me, and one of Brian and myself, but otherwise ... none.

Scotty took a whole bunch, but they were mostly of his handsome carcass.

As for Brian ... indeed, and to imagine that he claimed he took bad pictures! He sometimes needs to work on his expressions, but most of his shots turned out EXCELLENT.

Ok ... here are a few snapshots. They're not bad.

The photo above was taken on our last night at sea.
The photo below was taken after the Mariner Reception, in the Pinnacle Bar, just prior to dinner:

[stanford's girl]

[SIZE=4]Are my eyes playing tricks on me or is Brian wearing blue jeans, in the dining room, on a HAL ship?? :eek: :D:D [/SIZE]

[RevNeal]

Blue slacks .... faded, thick, blue slacks. :D
But look at that jacket! He must have gotten it from Charles Nelson Reilly!

[babyher]

Great Pics.

Thanks so much to everyone for sharing them. Everyone looks great :)

Ziggy .......Thank you for putting the names with the faces , once again you're the greatest :)

Brian.....You look pretty sharp in that dinner jacket, You look more like James Bond than that new guy they have playing him *LOL*

[dsawyer]

Brian can wear anything he wants on the ship and get away with it.

Even the fashion police on this board won't mind. :D

Brian, in our eyes, you are now a [B]ROCK STAR!!![/B]


[B]Marti,[/B] how do you pack all those wonderful hats without them getting crushed?
