Wonderful pictures!

[caneguy]

Awesome black and white shot, how did you do it?

 

Hi Oshoguno,

 

It is very easy. I shoot my pictures in RAW format and then use Lightroom to "develop" the pictures. For the B&W I just selected that option and then increased the contrast. Glad you liked the pictures and thanks so much for posting and following

 

Wonderful pictures!

 

Hello Yarlenna,

Sometimes you get lucky taking a picture

Caneguy.

 

Thank-you for putting together a great review. You did not disappoint with you pre-cruise review teaser. Very thorough and awesome photo documentary.

 

If it is OK with you I would like to use this picture for my screen saver. There are so many wonderful ones but I find this to be a classic.

Thank you Andrew!! Of course you may use the picture. I am honored that you would chose one of my photo's for your screen saver. You may use any picture and share any one that you like.

No Problem. I shoot with a Nikon D7100 and use an 18-200 lens (99% of the time, and the other 1% a wide angle .45 adaptor) I also shoot in RAW format and use Lightroom to finish the picture.

 

Thanks for posting and telling me you enjoyed the review.

So I was talking to the Captain before departure and asked him if I could be ferried off the ship to take some pictures and then be brought back via the pilot boat, and he said of course.....not really, I took these pictures last year while walking along the beach at the inlet....

I was hoping you would say that. It will be used for those moments at work, when I need to do some day dreaming.

Hi Janice,

My pleasure. I am glad you are able to use the compasses. There are so many things to do that I missed some because I did not go over the compass every day while on the ship. One thing I wanted to do was the back stage tour of the Opal Theater on the last day at sea.

 

Enjoy your cruise!!!

Hi Everyone,

I'm back. A lot of errands to do today with my wife. I know the 5 words you need for a successful and happy marriage, the first two was today, "Yes dear", the next three are as equally important, "It wasn't me!". It has worked very well as next month we celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.

 

OK, back to the review..It is going to take me longer than I thought to complete the review, I plan on scanning all the Cruise Compasses, and other items of interest. Also it is going to take some time to get the photos done.

 

 

DAY ONE

We live about 35 minutes from the port. Our friends older daughter flew down on Friday from NYC where she lives and works so the three of us arrived at the port around 11:45 to meet up with our friends and their younger daughter who flew in from Indiana on Saturday morning.

 

 

Almost packed an ready to go!

 

We were on board in about 30 minutes!! As we were walking to Central Park we stopped by 150 Central Park. They have a special for the first night of 20% off the charge for dinning at 150 CP so we changed plans and got a reservation for the first night to dine at 150 Central Park. (I think Diamond Plus members can get "buy one get one free" for the first night). After making sure that our specialty dinning reservations were done for the week, were does one go almost as soon as you board the Oasis? Of course! Park Cafe for you guessed it, ROAST BEEF SANDWICH!

 

 

THE Roast Beef Sandwich (don't forget to ask for double beef!)

 

 

Fresh made salad to go with the Roast Beef

 

 

Thanks for the picture of the "double roast beef" :) ... errr and salad. I'll have to remember that order when I get there.

Enjoy the cruise and the Roast Beef. Also ask them to grill the Roast Beef before serving it on that great bun, adds so much to the flavor!!

Tonight I will be using your trip report to convince my husband to book a cruise on the Oasis or the Allure. Thank you for entertaining me!!
