[QTMichele]

WOW! Awesome thread!!! I just read all 550 posts with pleasure! I can't wait to sail a Freedom class ship... hopefully next year!

 

Thanks so much for posting all the wonderful pictures, comments and responses - I devoured each and every one of them. Can't wait to read your next "LIVE" report.

 

Until then...

Thanks Michele ! My 2008 wish list is for "Live" reports on NCL Majesty, RCI Independence , Grandeur, and Explorer. . .

 

Thanks again. . .

I can't thank you enough for sharing your cruise with us. We sailed on the Liberty over Christmas.

 

It was so wonderful to see your pictures.

 

I found the link to your photo album on Fotki. I'd love to print some of these photos to add to the scrapbook I am creating for my family. Would you allow us to make copies of some of these pictures? If so, what's the best way to do it?

 

Thank you again for taking us along.

I too was on the January 5th sailing. If you go back and look at Radio's picture of the embarkation area you see it is not very crowded. I didn't get there until 2:30. Imagine that picture with wall to wall people. For future cruisers get there before 1pm. You will have less of a wait to get processed.

Love our photos, thanks again.

 

What are your upcoming cruises for 08?

I read somewhere that this week on the Liberty, its the largest gay cruise. We have a client that lead an "alternative lifestyle". I sure hope they don't beat the ship up too bad. They are a crazy drunks. lol

how early do you wake up? there are never any people in your shots. It we didn't know better, it would be as if you had the ship to yourself.

Ha ha. . . Many pics include passengers, but I think that I would like to show pics of the Liberty of the Seas, rather than other passengers ! :)

 

 

I took hundreds of pics on this cruise, but most of them were not posted.

One of your pictures from Labadee has me, my wife, and our friends in it. We were waiting to do the zipline.

Radio - your "live" thread is most impressive!

 

Danke schon (German); Tavssi (Russian); Mange tak (Danish); Merci beaucoup (French); Gracias (Spanish); Grazie (Italian); Domo arigato (Japanese); Cam on (Vietnamese); Sha-sha (Shanghai); Salamat (Tagalog); Khawp khun makh (Thai); Ngiyabonga (Zulu - S. African); Shukria (India); and Thank you :D

 

These are just a few "thank you" words in many different languages I've learned onboard and abroad :p

 

Looking forward to your future postings.

 

Cheerio!

We can hardly wait! You've shared such great stills with all of us. We'll be watching for your post when the video is ready. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us

[Cruisingboyo]

WOW! Just spent the last hour reading this whole thread - It looks fantastic.

 

Thanks.

I am about to read entire thread myself!! Thanks!

Hi Radio, we were on Radiance when you were on Liberty. I even filmed you guys when you were coming into Puerto Rico. And then you pulled up beside us and blocked my view!;) We were on the port side and if you were on the starboard side then maybe you saw us on our balcony? We were in 1060 10th floor right next to the elevators with a huge balcony. It was pretty impressive watching you guys pull in. :)

Radio, thanks so much for all the hard work you put into this "Live from" thread. We have sailed Carnival several times and are going to be taking our first cruise on Royal Caribbean this coming October on the Liberty. I though I was excited before, now I can hardly wait. Just from viewing your pics I can already tell that this will be first of many cruises with RCI. Thanks again. :D

 

BTW, I "borrowed" one of your pics of the Solarium Whirlpools for my desktop. I hope you don't mind. That whirlpool is one of the things I am looking forward to the most. :p

Hopefully will get a chance to meet. It can't get here fast enough for me.

Hey my ears were burning... :)

 

I'm actually a Nikon man... but according to DPReview, this camera only goes up to ISO 400. That's not particularly sensitive for low light situations. However, it also says it has three different image stabilization modes. I would pull out the manual and read up on that. That may be the best solution to your problem. Image stabilization can usually buy you an extra two or three stops of sensitivity, which in this case (assuming you were shooting at ISO400) would be equivalent to ISO1600 or 3200.

 

Generally you would want to avoid the Night settings, as they are usually designed for dark situations where you have a stable platform. Those tend to use longer exposure times, and would end up blurry if you were holding the camera in your hand.

 

Not much help, but hopefully a point in the right direction...

Great spreadsheet......thanks!!!

Radio,

 

Thank you for such a delightful read! The pictures truly enhanced your written reports and I can't wait to sail Liberty in May. Thanks again for a wonderful and detailed journey! :cool:

[KLMMD11]

Radio, great reporting.

 

Can you offer any more details on the car rental in SXM.

Price, driving conditions, traffic.

 

I want to spend our day there at Maho Beach, thought about a cab

but not sure which is better/cheaper. Thoughts?

 

Thanks
