eastern carribbean, magic, 5/13-5/20/06

here's a small sampler from our may cruise on the magic, eastern caribbean 7 nights
we cruised last year for the first time on the 4 night mousefest cruise, fell in love with cruising, did easter magic in may and booked inaugural 11 night med cruise may 07 on our 3rd day aboard the magic
the 2 show shots are from the walt disney theater, amazing how they can sing and dance while on a moving boat

here's the show shots

 

anybody spot the carribean touch we adopted for the cruise,
marigot is the port on the french side st. martens

 

and we have a winner folks, dreads came off in july, just too hot for long hair this summer
is this the right spot for cruise photos, i have more if anyone wants to see, don't want to hog the bandwidth

Nice photos! Some day I hope to experience a Disney cruise.

 

towel animals

just a quickie taken of one of the towel animals on our bed each night, made by your room steward, different each night, i wish i hadn't been so tired every night and had put a little more effort into better technique, had to correct a mighty nasty color cast in these
don't ever go on a cruise thinking you'll be bored or catch up on sleep by napping all day, so much neat stuff happening we fell into bed exhausted every night

Gary these are wonderful images, you have sold us on going on a Disney cruise!

 

thank you, i found myself waking up around dawn so i would slip out onto the veranda , took this at dawn approaching st martens, tried not to put horizon line dead middle of image, but wanted a fair amount of sea to draw the viewer to the island outline, jury still out on if i like this or not, this one just screams out for some velvia action, did what i could with layer and levels
c&c welcome at any time

charlotte amalie harbor, again from high atop paradise point, pricey pina colada in my hand at the time, but a warm breeze blowing, sitting in the shade and a nicely talented musician doing a buffet song eased the sting of the bar tab
burning to dvd's tonight so i'm bingeing on the postings, got a feeling i'll need the hard drive room for mousefest
