A Tale of two Princesses

[MicCanberra]

One good thing about digital. Take a lot and then throw out the ones you don't want. :D Have a great evening.

 

That is my philosophy as well.:D

a shady place to sit , and some bushes that are referred to as El Bano .

For the ladies they may say Tenemos ante nosotros un océano de oportunidades.

 

 

 

 

We have ahead of us an ocean of opportunities

LOL,

reminds me of a saying

'Doing a good job around here is like pissing in your wetsuit, nobody notices but you do get a warm feeling inside.'

;)

[easyboy]

It's not unusual to see some large crabs hiding there from the strong current . I would have loved to invite this one to the Crab Shack for a free dinner !

 

 

Will be waiting at the Crab Shack.

We did see one of his tasty relatives latter that dive ( and also that night - on the dinner plate) .

After our dive I took a pano photo of the beach in this area

 

 

 

 

There's a restaurant that we have wanted to try near the port and after placing our orders I crossed the street here to an elevated viewing area where you see the stairs on the left .

 

 

 

 

How many ships are in this photo ?

 

 

 

 

We were mainly interested in the Rhapsody in the foreground . This was the RCI ship that we cruised to , and around Hawaii on , in 2001 .

 

 

 

 

Lunch is served ! Crab quesadilla and coconut shrimp .

 

 

 

 

 

[upwarduk]

3 cruise ships + a small boat in the foreground.

 

BTW we booked our first Princess cruise on Sunday.

The price was right & Eclipse no longer goes to the Mediterranean from Southampton. Hopefully we will get some sun, warmer than home anyway!

I count 5 of them. 2 RCL. One HAL. One Princess and a Carnival.

Excellent ! We hope that you have a great experience on the Crown . We haven't been on the Crown but it seems to be a younger sister to the CB and with the Mediterranean you have a chance to use some sunglasses :cool:

 

 

I cropped the photo to help anybody with older eyes ( like Pat and I ) see the lineup .

Please tell me that is not for number 2s in the wetsuit.:eek:

We haven't had that pleasure - yet . :eek:

[scubacruiserx2]

Back at the pier we had a look at our cubby hole

 

 

 

 

and a glimpse at the new neighbors .

 

 

 

 

After boarding Patty volunteered to do the laundry and shower while I did a once around the promenade with the Sony .

You are right Tony ! The Rhapsody and Brilliance of the Seas , HAL Nieuw Amsterdam , The CB and The Carnival Freedom .

 

Unfortunately we are out of Princess chocolates and Mic needed the wetsuit shampoo . But if you can wait about a month , we will have some fresh Celebrity chocolates . :) :D

[diverward]

When using wetsuits, there are two types of people. The ones that say they never do it and the type that does it and never said a word about it.

I have the soap as well and it has been well used.

I will wait for your chocolates. Have a great evening.

EWWW.

Let us hope you never need to.;)

Good job on the ships, I counted four as I couldn't see the carnival funnel.

BTW, choccies are in the mail, they may not arrive as it is another 30+ day here and they are likely a puddle by now.:p

[perfect match]

I have been looking for a good picture of the aft cabins on the CB so I could get a good look at the balcony for C752, our home for our Panama Canal cruise. That picture showing your cabin did the trick! We have been debating an upgrade to a mini suite for the extra space in the room, but we really love our aft balconies. Even though we had somewhat of an aft view from our Boardwalk balcony on Oasis, it just wasn't quite the same to us. I guess making that decision is a nice problem to have. :D

Amen to that Mic !!

 

But I did work with a guy that I nicknamed The Parrotfish after he told me a story about one of his dives in GC ! :eek:

 

And if you're not sure what I mean about parrotfish , watch this video :

Counting funnels may be the way to go but the HAL ship has a double .

The major difference I think is that the guy doesn't eat coral.:eek:

At least not in my presence . He's quite a character , a very funny guy ! :)

Thank you for the chocolates. I will enjoy them.

As for counting the ships. The two funnels on HAL did not throw me off. And at first I did not see the one funnel on Carnival but I did see the whole front end of the ship. And I knew that the only the Regal and the Royal have short front ends like that so it must have been another ship and not the front end of the Caribbean Princess. But after counting I finally did see the unique funnel of the Carnival ship. I actually was on the Carnival Freedom doing a 16 day transatlantic a few years back. Have a great day. Looking forward to more pictures.
