where did you find a pic

What cabin # do you have? Could you take pictures and post them here?

 

Thanks! ;)

We are in 6500 & 6502 but you sail way before I do. We don't sail until Feb. 2017

But if you would post pics that would be great.....lol

we are in an OG. Where does everyone sleep. All the pic i find i only see 3 beds.

Hello everyone. We have booked 2 oceanview rooms on deck 6. Just wondering if anyone out there has any pics they can share of one of these rooms. we are in 6500 & 6502.

thank you

Bobbie

10.....whoop whoop

Thank you everyone

We will be in Roatan in just over a week. We are doing a tour with Victor Bodden and have a couple of places we are wanting to go but either before or after those I really want to relax on a beach have a few beverages....;) and maybe get a bite to eat. And I really don't want to pay a big day use fee on top of the tour fee. Where would you suggest?

I have watched a few youtube videos on west bay and west end. I think I like west end a little more. I seems a little more local.

Thank you

Yes. It was $1.20 at a grocery store...

WOW is it really good. My father in law brings me some from Mexico and there is definitely a difference.

Thank you

I know I was just trying to be lazy and save the time trying to find them. LOL

has anyone bought any vanilla here? I am thinking it will make a good gift for a friend of mine.

I loved your review. DH and I are on the same intenary in 2 weeks. Just wondering if you could either post all of the dailies together or email them to me.

We'll see how ours turns out next week but I think it should be good. We all had to sign up specifically for the M&G and the list is updated and circulated often. Further, one member arranged for a list of "key words" where each member gave some key words about themselves ahead of time for conversation starters.

 

Also, someone organized a slot pull following the M&G.

 

I sometimes don't make it to the M&G because I get carried away having other kinds of fun, but I feel more inclined to go to this one because of the organizing that has gone into it.

Can you give some examples of how the key word thing worked. I may want to pass this along to the person running our M & G. She has never done one before.

Thanks

giving this thread a bump. Just signed up to spear head our Slot Pull. Any suggestions would be awesome.

Me too please...

there are several good rules of composition that help travel photography.

 

The rule of thirds

leading lines

framing (marysb used this in a couple shots posted above)

 

I have posted some tutorials on composition at http://www.familytravelphotos.com/travel-photo-tips/ if you're not familiar with these.

 

Another good idea - put a subject in your image. Taking a panoramic shot of some ruins is good, but also take one where a close column or sculpture is predominate in the image with ruins in the background. The rule of thirds is really important for this type of shot.

Thank you so much for the tips. I will try to post them on this thread.

I really enjoyed your review. Thank You.

I am loving your review. We sail in Feb.

thank you for the review.

When we sailed out of MCO our hotel offered a shuttle service. It was an outside company that had people from other hotels but it was affordable and a nice clean van with a very nice driver. So maybe call your hotel and see if they offer anything.

Thank you for all the tips. I've been practicing so I kinda know what I'm doing. I just wanted to get some great shots.

We are headed to the Lamanai Ruins in Feb. I received a new Fujifilm 9400W for Christmas. I really want my pics here to be good. Any pointers on how to photograph them would be greatly appreciated!!!

Bobbie

Thank you!

we will see how mine come out. I'm a BEGINNER with pic taking. But the pics are all about making memories it's not like they will be in any travel magazines....lol

She has them here

We headed back to the room to finish the little bit of unpacking I still had left to do and daddy fell asleep watching t.v.

 

For some odd reason, I decided I didn't like what he was "not" watching at the time and switched the channel. What did I see?????? THE FRICKEN BRIDGE IN THE FRONT CAMERA!!!! OOHHHH EEEMMMM GEEEEE!!! I completely forgot about passing under the bridge in approximatley 2 hours after departure. What was I thinking. I started up my panic mode, grabbed my camera and told Sakari "LET'S GO!!!" We raced up to the pool deck and right as well walked out the doors, this is what I seen:

 

 

 

We were already passing right under it!! D*(&%^@!#*)*&^%!!!!!! Grrr, I couldn't believe it.

 

I was able to get some pictures after we passed under, but still, not what I was wanting!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was officially hitting myself in the forehead now for not remembering this.

 

After returning to the room, Sakari found us a little present under the bed:

 

 

Yes, that's exactly what you think it is...boys underwear left behind! Glad to know they clean so well.

 

Also, this is the first time that we have came to our room and didn't have ANY ice in our ice bucket. I really needed some caffeine and of course my soda wasn't cold yet since it was only day 1. I called housekeeping and they did not answer. I called customer service and ask them about getting some ice and they said they don't fill ice buckets until the evening. Now I know I have had ice in my bucket before the evening on the other cruises.

 

I also told customer service about the dirty underwear left in our room. They sent a manager to our room and he ask where it was, I pointed on the floor and he reached down and picked it up...without gloves. I wanted to puke a little in my mouth, but hey, his hands not mine.

 

I might also add that if I can't get something done, I'll do it myself. I located a cart with a cooler filled with ice and went in and got it myself!!!

 

 

 

 

What setting do you have your camera on for these bridge shots. I got a new camera for christmas for this same cruise in Feb. I've been practicing so that i can get great pics.

Thanks Bobbie
