Cruzin-K Posted October 28, 2013 #301 Share Posted October 28, 2013 The Blue Planet pics are great. Could you please share what your camera settings were for these shots? not that I'll be able to take pics as good, but I can try :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasChic Posted October 28, 2013 Author #302 Share Posted October 28, 2013 After the show, we headed to the promenade to see Po from Kung Fu Panda. We ran into the flash mob and were stuck there so we wandered into the cupcake store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windjamming Posted October 28, 2013 #304 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Wow, what a nice compliment, I'm glad that you are enjoying it! Sometimes I think I'm posting for myself (LOL). But I know there's many who just read and don't comment (I'm one of them!) and that's fine as long as it's being read I know my efforts are not just for me:D We're still here!! This is an absolutely stunning review in every regard. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your vacation with us. We are looking at our plans for next year, and even though we were just on the Allure a couple of years ago, I must admit, you've piqued my interest for a return!

VegasChic Posted October 28, 2013 Author #305 Share Posted October 28, 2013 A few pictures while we wait for Po….. This lady has the right Idea, wine and shopping (my favorite pastime!)….. They have TV’s outside of on-air I usually just saw sports being played… We took a seat at starbarks and DD plays with her new doll purchased at the Gift Shop, she comes with an evening gown as well.

VegasChic Posted October 28, 2013 Author #307 Share Posted October 28, 2013 So many of us read and laugh and enjoy and don't post, but just know that we all are enjoying your review and being with your family as we read day to day reports. Thanks for taking the time to do the review. Kay Thank you Kay, I know everyone's reading along, I appreciate it and all the wonderful comments and compliments! I have really enjoyed doing this, I wasn't planning on it so it's taken longer than I expected. More to come.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasChic Posted October 29, 2013 Author #311 Share Posted October 29, 2013 After the picture with Po, we went back to the cabin to shower and dress. It only took DD and I 30 minutes total to get ready (it was a record!!) I wanted to be down at the promenade by 7:15 the latest for the 7:45 parade. We arrived at 7:00 and all the good seats were already taken. Remember the good seats are right in front of Sorrento's or the Bow & Stern. I found an empty tiny little spot and the Bow and Stern and I managed to squeeze in two little stools that I took from inside the bar. So on with the photos (there's lots!!!).....

VegasChic Posted October 29, 2013 Author #315 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Minutes after the parade, our lovely Captain appears at the rising tide bar. He thanked all the passengers for choosing Royal Caribbean and the typical Captain announcements. I'm assuming this is the captain, I actually googled it but some other blond guys comes up so I'm not sure who this is. Sorry these are the things I don't pay much attention to.

Cruzin-K Posted October 29, 2013 #316 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Hi Thank You, I had it set to manual mode with the following settings: ISO: 5000 Shutter: 1/160 Aperture: 4.5 I don't remember what White Balance was set to Hope it works for you:) Thank you so much!! I wrote this down and put it in my cruise folder. I wonder if ISO 3200 will be good enough :confused: - that's the highest available on my camera. Hmmmm. Might be a reason to get that new camera as a Christmas present for myself instead of next year's birthday present :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasChic Posted October 29, 2013 Author #317 Share Posted October 29, 2013 We then decided to check out the Rising Tide bar.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasChic Posted October 30, 2013 Author #319 Share Posted October 30, 2013 The Rising Tide Bar was fun, I totally underestimated it thinking "what's the big deal?" But once we were on, we didn't want to get off we stayed there for 45 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasChic Posted October 30, 2013 Author #322 Share Posted October 30, 2013 We decided to finally get off as we were already 15 minutes late for dinner, I could have stayed there all night listening to music and drinking wine. At dinner our waiters sang again and then sang happy birthday to DD with a special dessert which DH ate!! Our Waiter - John Head Waiter (Don't remember the name) Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a picture of the assistant (she was awesome and we left her a nice tip!). . For dinner, I had the turkey dinner (it was recommended and very good!) I think this was the night I had the Key Lime Pie as well it was VERY GOOD! I LOVE KEY LIME PIE!!!!

mattmom Posted October 30, 2013 #323 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Thanks for taking the time to put together this fun, entertaining and beautiful review. Beautiful family, may you have many, many wonderful memories yet to make together. You pictures are stunning. I especially enjoyed your sense of humor, loved when you told your daughter you would have the captain turn the ship around! I have said similar things many times to my son. Life's blessings to you and your wonderful family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamssanity Posted October 30, 2013 #324 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Loved reading your Dventure we head out on Allure in 12 days. Can't wait. Got some great tips by reading your blog. Feel like I know you, your DH and your beautiful Dd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#55worktoplay Posted October 30, 2013 #325 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'm so sad that this is coming to an end. Your review is very well done and the pics are amazing, I am very envious because cameras and I just don't mesh, no matter how hard I try I just never get good pictures, the pics turn out fine but once I see them I think to myself - what the crap was I taking there.. Your family is beautiful and I hope to see you on a cruise someday. Thanks for taking all of this time to do your review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
