Cuizer2 Posted May 9, 2012 Author #51 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Lovely photos; I feel like I was right there with you -- just great. I enjoyed your review, too. Your comment re not touching the polar bears had me laughing out loud. Do you have photos of the penguins/polar bears? When I went through immigration in San Pedro two years ago, I was asked the same thing -- in fact, I was quizzed extensively by the little titmouse not only about why I cruised alone (he asked this more than once) but also about how I paid for the cruise, etc. I was all ready to tell him to take a long walk off a short pier, except for, you know, not wanting to go to jail. Okay, here are my Sea World photographs ... The otters ... The dolphin petting tank ... A Capybara - the world's largest rodent ... The Beluga whales ...

beshears Posted May 9, 2012 #57 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Oh what awesome/grand pictures and review you did of the Sapphire. You must have a "great" camera.:) It has been a couple years since I was on the Sapphire, but the pictures brought back GOOD memories.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted May 9, 2012 Author #58 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Oh what awesome/grand pictures and review you did of the Sapphire. You must have a "great" camera.:) It has been a couple years since I was on the Sapphire, but the pictures brought back GOOD memories.:) All the Sea World photographs, all the Santa Barbara port photographs and all the Ensenada tour photographs were takes with a Canon A590IS. All the San Francisco photographs (not posted yet), the San Diego port photographs and almost all the ship photographs were taken with a Nikon D5100 using an 18-105 zoom lens. I used both cameras in the port of Ensenada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dforeigner Posted May 9, 2012 #60 Share Posted May 9, 2012 My sister and I will board the Sapphire in June and your photos were great! Do you know why the police were leading someone away in cuffs? Although I am not the OP, I can provide you with some answers. Those are not Police officers, but rather Federal officers. Most probably the arrest was due to an active warrant somewhere in the US.

rdsqrl Posted May 10, 2012 #61 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I loved those photos! That first one of the otter floating on his back with his little flippers folded on his tummy -- so cute! Your pictures are just great; can't wait to see more. You soooo crack me up!! :) (Apologies to the OP for this minor OT) We were to sail with you on the Star recently (and we had to cancel) so I missed meeting you... darn! :p Actually, I ended up having to cancel, too. Double darn! Hence my interest in seeing penguin photos, since I got cheated out of seeing real ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
