Isn't there still a stairway down to the Windjammer? And they should have let you use the service elevator, if the weather was bad. 

There is a stairway at the back of the WJ but it’s outside so closed last night. Other than the galley entrance,  they only have one entrance and it’s on the outside deck 12. The manager said it’s an issue as deck 12 is often closed so they need to escort people in and out through the galley fairly often. We took the stairs in the galley but they did offer us the service elevator (also in the galley).

Since sunsets are being mentioned I hope it's OK to post this one from today on Discovery Princess RT San Pedro cruise to Mexico. It's sunset off Catalina Island. The white line was an amazing Contrail.

And now it’s a beautiful moon!

They closed an outside deck because it was raining?

 

It sure doesn't take much for them to close that deck.  Very frustrating since that is my walking deck of choice early in the morning.  😞

I like the sunset/sunrise shots as well....and in fact is my Avatar picture.  It is sunrise coming into Nassau Bahamas.  😉 

 

Don't forget to look for the "green flash".  🙂

Incredible day in Moorea! We went snorkeling with sharks and stingrays in the morning and spent the afternoon on a Motu for swimming and more snorkeling. We saw dolphins and sea turtles and swam with reef sharks, lots of stingrays and all kinds of fish! Such a beautiful place!

Thank you. No we got on in LA and are leaving in Brisbane. Hopefully some on the cruise will continue posting after we disembark.

Another beautiful evening. We are in Papeete tomorrow.

When they figure out how to account for having more votes than passengers.😉

Such awesome pictures!!  Brings back so many memories!!  Hard to beat that part of the world.

There big fact that they love to flaunt is the amount of tourists they get in The Tahiti Islands in one year is less than what Hawaii gets in a year.  I truly believe it!!

Welcome to Papeete, Tahiti, Serenade of the Seas.  Caught this shot of the ship pulling into the port off the Aremiti ferry webcam.  That island in the distance is Mo'orea, which Serenade visited yesterday.  It looks like a beautiful sunny day in tropical paradise, enjoy everyone!  🙂
