Sea Dog replied to Ozark_Kid's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Thanks it comes and goes. Right now I’m hurting pretty good. Glenfiddich is trying to help.😉 -
Way to go Royal! You deliver an invitation to my stateroom for the new Icon of the seas yesterday saying it was tomorrow. I show up today with about 30 other people to only find out it was yesterday. Back to bar I go. Glenfiddich on ice.

Thanks you are right that in order to get a long exposure night sky stability is the key. I’m trying a variety of approaches. It looks like photo editing may be my best hope. I just wish my camera could capture what I saw last with my naked eye. It was a great night sky with tons of stars and I could even see one far way galaxy.

I need to play with it. I see where it does the 3 second exposures. I tried a 30 second photo on the go pro and it turned out bad. I don’t know if it’s me or just the cameras can’t do a long enough exposure on a moving ship to capture anything worthwhile. I know Twangster with his cameras can get some incredible starscapes.

The only thing that had been a little wonky is that sometimes the internet will just kick off and you will see you have no connection. Easily solved by reconnecting but I’m not sure what is causing it. At one point yesterday in the MDR, CC was not loading fast at all even when I had good internet speed. I’m not sure why.

Quantum & Ovation Plus - 30 Day Live (hopefully)
Sea Dog replied to bobmacliberty's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Fantastic review and I am going to re-read when I get home to take notes on everything. Did 30 days feel good? Too long, too short? I’m sure going back to everyday life will be a little bit of a let down. You had some amazing pictures. I figured Hawaii would be your favorite. By the looks of things I think it will be my favorite too when we go. Thanks again for all your hard work letting us tag along. -
Good Morning! Day at sea today I have no idea what Tim going to do today. im sorry that I have not reported on any of the shows or entertainment.Frankly we haven’t gone to any of the shows. After seeing the fantastic production shows on Symphony 4 weeks ago, none of the shows on Liberty really interested us. That and the fact that after a day of activities my shoulder really hurts so we take it easy. We have really enjoyed the peace and quiet of Linda’s large aft balcony. I’ve tried to go to my favorite place the Schooner Bar but every night it’s packed or people are watching the Astros play which does not interest me. The R-Bar has been my go to place. I talked the bartender into making my Sea Dog Old Fashioned minus the Melitti Amaro and taking them up to the room. It’s been a nice pace and will hopefully help me recover. Time to get ready for Breakfast. Thank you all for following along on our adventures. Here is your morning Star Link Internet speed test.

I must have been a bad dog! I don’t have those two. I need to get them. I have just about all of their t-shirts. Eagle Beach looks amazing. I jotted it down in my notes. I like the Hyperlapse. Very cool. The go pro does the same thing called time warp. When you switch very easily between say 10x and real time. I be only done it once. I need to revisit. Grest review! -
Screeeeech! Backup!! Totally forgot to post about dinner in the MDR. Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned is the staple this week. I only ordered two appetizers but because I’ve done escargot every night Eka brought me one anyway. Seafood Cake. Like a crab cake but different seafood in it. Very yummy. Shrimp Ceviche. Top layer good but too much lettuce underneath. Decided to go with Chicken Parmesan which I’ve never had. It was just ok. Probably the only uninspiring dish I’ve had all week. Mushroom Risotto with Mascarpone and cream. Very nice dish. I wish there was some black truffle added to the top. For dessert Mississippi Mud pie. Yeah mon… there I did it again after a day in Jamaica. with ice cream. So as you have been following. Yes you can order multiple courses in the main dining room. It’s encouraged. Now I haven’t ordered multiple desserts but I have routinely ordered two appetizers and two entrees every night. I can’t wait to get back to the diet. The things one must do for research.

Struggling to get a good night time star picture. I haven’t quite figured out how to get the iPhone to do a 30 second exposure. I also tried a 30 second exposure on the go pro. I’ll keep experimenting but here is what I have so far. I will say the naked eye does it best. Tonight’s celestial gaze was incredible. I was tempted to hit all the bars but found myself chilling with Linda on her balcony gazing off into the stars and wondering…why didn’t I take my blood pressure medicine?????😢 IMG_9780.MOV Another Star Trails try. Goodnight sea day tomorrow. Looks like they are going to have a big Icon of the Seas unveiling in the Platinum Theater at 3:30pm. I’ll check it out for you.
