amkras Posted January 31, 2009 #5 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Bill I only had time to see Part 1 now and plan to return to the rest later today. I love it. You have a lovely speaking voice. May I ask what program you used to put this together? I can't wait to finish my errands so I can get back to this. Arlene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad all of you enjoyed the video cruise review. Bonnie...because of your and CLQs recommendations, we did the Cosol tour; we loved it! Arlene...I use a program from Photodex, called ProShow Producer. It has more bells and whistles than I could ever use, but each time I use the program I learn another neat function.

BuyReallyLow Posted January 31, 2009 #7 Share Posted January 31, 2009 From one Bill in Wisconsin, to another Bill in Wisconsin, nice job!! Did I see in one of your photos a Sony Camera? Did you shoot your video and pictures using the same Camera? I like the use of Video - it was a nice change from our other live posts and reviews. Excellent Job!!

coast2coast Posted January 31, 2009 #10 Share Posted January 31, 2009 AWESOME JOB!!! We boarded the Serenade when you got off. I brought my video camera and still camera on the trip, but did not use them enough. I just had to replace my video camera shortly before the cruise and was a little paranoid about bringing it on the excursions. What a mistake. It was great to relive the trip through your video and pix as we also did Eli's Eco Tour and Cosol's. In Barbados we went with Small Cats... smaller boat with 12 people, but we were the only 3 who booked it for the 5-hour tour, so we had lunch and the last two hours to ourselves. It was great! I'll have to bookmark your links... Thanks for taking the time to develop and post these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year, the Serenade will be doing alternating "A" and "B" itineraries and we are booked to do a B2B...10 different islands in 14 days. I love the eastern/southern Caribbean and the Serenade too. I hope our plans do not have to change for economic reasons!:( BILL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILL Bill -------- That was amazing! DH and I leave in 20 days for the Serenade, and are very excited. Your videos were fabulous. If you don't mind me asking, what were the names of the songs/artists for the songs that you used with the Latin flavour? There was some guitar music etc on a few of the videos, and also some music with the sax I believe. I would love to add that music to our collection. Thanks again for the great videos!
