@cruisinghawg started a live review for the Inaugural Icon cruise. There will be a few of us Dani's friends regulars that will be pitching in on the review.

@cruisinghawg Thanks! I am so thankful that you got this live review going. Only 7 more days until we will board. This is going to be one ICONIC cruise. There will be so much to cover that I am not sure we would cover it all even if we were doing B2B! That is why I am glad that @cruisinghawg is inviting and encouraging others that are cruising with us to join in! @irishgal432 good to see you will be there too! There will be a lot of new about this ship. One thing I am looking forward to is the new Wizard of Oz show!

Has anyone checked out the new Apple Vision Pro? Looks interesting but expensive.

I sometimes just hug on a heat pad to get warm.... and wear a flannel shirt. 26⁰F with the sun out. 8 days to go before cruising.

That's exactly how I see it. After getting a Samsung S21 Ultra I would say I bought a nice camera with phone functions. I love the 10x optical lense option.

I'm curious if there will be an outlet low by the bed.

Wow! Looks beautiful. I bet even more from where you are! Thanks 😊!

At least your 🌺 hibiscus has flowers. You might try trimming. Not that it looks bad or makes much difference appearance wise. The smaller the video the easier it will be to load at sea.

That worked good! I would like that warmer looking weather. 29⁰ F with a slight chance of snow here.

Maybe check your account online. I have seen differences in the 2 before.

I will probably post video when I get home if I bring my 360 camera. It's been a few months since I used it and it is had for me to figure out how to edit them. Why I thought I might like it is because I can attach it to a stick and then ride around with my wheelchair and catch a bunch. If I remember correctly I can also pull pics from the video. The 360 saying Shoot Now Frame Later explains the advantages of a 360 camera. An actual 360 pic will not work on CC.

Some complimented without knowing. During HS grad a lady sitting in front of my mom pointed down at me and said, her hair is beautiful! Mom said she just smiled. 😆 I remember some of the girls at school asking how I take care of my hair. they thought I was using some special shampoo. Prell shampoo and then later I would drop my head, brush and blow-dry it from underneath and then toss my head back! I remember this time of year I had a couple times when I washed my hair before school and didn't get it all the way dry. It would start to freeze while walking to school.

I was hoping the camera had a mp4 mode but as far as I can see just .mov. I am not having any luck finding a solution to make it easy to convert. I am sure that you have noticed that there are several posting negative things about Icon already and none have been on it! I am sure once our thread is started there will be some that will try to stir the pot. It's best to just try to ignore them on the review. if they get too bad I am sure some of our CC friends will step in. I am seeing several that are getting excited to see a review of the Icon. Do you have plans what day you will start it?

The spacing is great. I would say that you have photos great now.

@cruisinghawg what type camera are you shooting with.

Samsung comes with a good editor. It works on both pics and videos. If I adjust a .mov video even just a little bit It will save a copy to .mp4. I have used online sites to convert before but that would be tough to do while at sea.

I don't know what kind of computer you have. I was guessing macbook pro. I have only been using a macbook pro for less than a year so I have not learned it all yet. I edit my videos to mp4 on my phone. You can probably Google and find out what editor you have.

Hard to find "deals" like they were after the start up. We used to book our on. Now we find our best deals from "the" TA. Group rates and OBC. He can check out a time period or a particular departure port. In the past year or so using a TA has been the best option. Easy and less expensive.

I may of shared these last summer. We spent time in Lakeside Ohio. The kids hired a photographer. For Christmas they gifted us with an enlargement of this pic Then they gifted us this pic on a one inch canvas.

We were just watching Murder She Wrote. Most of the show took place on a plane. All the guys had suits on and ladies in dresses. A few were smoking. Different days. I was thinking this must be from late 60's or 70s. The series was from 1984 to 1996. Surprised me.

Thanks! To me they are growing up so quickly.

Kenzie enjoyed the snow today! IMG_0472_1.mp4 So did her brother and sister. I think she enjoyed warming up too!

@Sea Dog hey Greg, have you ever considered a beard?

I want to share more love being shown. A couple of months ago a new neighbor moved in. She is a long time friend with Kenzie's mom. It's been snowing and with our steep peppled concrete driveway we were snowed in. Our ring started indicating someone was here. Looked out and our neighbor was clearing a path for us! What a sweetheart!

Wow. Photoshop did a good job! Did you use AI? I like the shaved look.
