Loved it!

 

I see you found Horton Plaza to shop.

 

Loved the little smiley laughing on his side as your DH is ready to leave for lifeboat drill.

[Sea Island Lady]

Thanks! Can't wait to read the rest. :)

[Queen of Adventure]

Thanks, y'all:D Krazy Kruiser, I'll see if I can't find a few more spots for that laughing fellow for you;)

I always enjoy your reviews and your great photos. Looking forward to the rest of your review and photos.

Ahnalira : I'm so glad you took this cruise as I very much look forward to your photo updates. They are always so interesting. Hopefully you had the chance to meet Mr. James Deering (hotel manager) as I'm sure that you would have found him very interesting ! . . . .

Great review so far. Love the pictures of the food and everything. I am hungry now but will not eat till Feb 26 when we sale south! :)

Ahnalira, I always enjoy you Photos of the food, you do such a great job with that. We too were on the Oosterdam for Alaska last May and are looking forward to cruising her again this coming October doing the Mexican Riviera. Were you on the same week with Revneal? Feb 5th thru the 12th? If so I have pictures of the Oosterdam sailing away while I was in San Diego.

Loved the food photo's. Something tells me that those sugar free desserts are as good as the regular. My Dad is a diabetic, and I think I will join him with the sugar free.;)

Here's part 4... Cabos San Lucas:D

My favorite review yet! :)

 

 

Could you tell me if the pirate boat in your photo is the whale watching boat?

[Bucky3]

Can't wait for the next chapter! We're cruising on Oosterdam the end of March so we are really enjoying all your info - and the pictures are just wonderful. My DH wants to know what kind of camera you were using?? Thanks a bunch.

[1drifter]

We were on the Oosterdam with you for the well-being cruise to Alaska, but could not make the trip to Mexico. Thanks for your wonderful review, to make us feel like we were right there! Shari

[Queen of Adventure]

I believe the pirate ship is the whale watching ship... or one of them;) We could see one (not the one docked) way off in the distance while we were out. For some reason, it didn't come play with our "pod":p

 

I use an Olympus 50/60 camera (it is a really good camera, I think)... and Photoshop:p

My favorite review yet! :)

That's the "not as good" whale watching pirate ship whose name I don't remember. Not the Sunderland....

[jbhcw]

Absolutely beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing. I love food pictures and yours are gorgeous. Looking forward to the next installment.

[obriendan]

I wish all cruise reviews were as good as this one! Wonderful pictures. I can't believe that those desserts are sugar-free!

[Sea Island Lady]

Oh great relief! I was beginning to second guess your recommendation. :rolleyes:

 

Do you think we should wear tennis shoes for the Sunderland excursion? I would think we need a little traction.

Or boat shoes...
