BeachBill Posted July 20, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I don't know why it took me so long to find this place. I've been browsing around for couple of hours and am duly impressed with the information shared here by so many experienced folks. For that I give a hearty, "Thank You!" Briefly, we have a home in coastal Delaware and an older home in South Baltimore (a mile from the Cruise Terminal - YaY). We are both retired teachers but I still run a small Internet Marketing business and my wife keeps busy part time at an after-school program to put cash in the "cruise kitty." :) I have been fascinated with photography for over a half century (now have a small online-gallery) and always take a camera on our voyages, which number five to date. We've been on Royal Caribbean three times and Carnival twice. One of the Carnival cruises was out of Tampa but the others have been out of Baltimore. We love leaving from Baltimore because we have zero travel expenses. We love the cruising lifestyle, seeing new places and meeting new people. I hope to be able to contribute a bit here and also soak up some of your expertise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted July 20, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Welcome to cruise critic, I envy your short distance to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachBill Posted July 20, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Thank you, folks, for the warm welcome. @ Cruzaholic41 - Thank you for the heads-up on the photography section, I've begun browsing there. @ cdavid46 - Pix or it didn't happen, eh? I'll get one in this thread soon (need to upload somewhere first). @ George C - Yes, that short distance saves us time and money. We do like cruising out of the Port of Baltimore. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserking Posted July 21, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Welcome to Cruise Critic Bill. We also are lucky to live in New York and close to three nearby cruise ports which is very convenient. Many people include links to their cruise photography in their Cruise Critic signatures. It would fun to see some of the cruise pictures you've taken. See you on the boards or on board a ship.

BeachBill Posted July 22, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) OK - in response to "It didn't happen if there are no pictures." Here is one of my favorite shots from our Eastern Carribean cruise aboard RCI's Grandeur of the Seas out of Baltimore, March 3, 2015. The view is in The Centrum - looking straight up from the floor in front of the stage. Note to mods: I always watermark my images. If such a watermark is not permissible on Cruise Critic please let me know and I will refrain from posting images. (And please feel free to delete this image, if necessary.) Thanks.

If such a watermark is not permissible on Cruise Critic please let me know and I will refrain from posting images. (And please feel free to delete this image, if necessary.) Thanks. Thanks Bill for asking. It's always a good idea to watermark photos you post on a public forum like Cruise Critic. It would be best, however, if you use a copyright "bug" and just your name, "BeachBill." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtytwo Posted July 22, 2015 #12 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Great picture, Bill! I guess it did happen after all! :D Based on that shot, I look forward to seeing more in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
