Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted December 24, 2016 Author #76 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Really impressed by the quality of your pictures. Thank you easyboy . For an old film shooter like me the digital cameras are a dream come true . With digital you can shoot lots of photos and see the results instantly . Auto focus also helps for people who need glasses like us and you get a second chance to fix photos by editing and sharing with computers . It's the golden age of photography for the average Joe . :) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted December 24, 2016 Author #79 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I did something on this sail away that was highly uncharacteristic of me . I traded our cozy , quite balcony and my DW for the rambunctious of the party upstairs !!! :eek: Why would I do such a thing , you might ask ? (but hopefully , not out loud ) . A good question deserves a good answer , but I don't have any so will you settle for so so answer ? I wanted to experience and video , the true Love Boat sail away and so I choose a place over the Re al Princess sign before it got too crowded . The Koningsdam was the first out of the gate , but we were on the move and right behind . Here's the world premier of a true Love Boat sail away video with a mashup of background music courtesy of the house band : Princess Cay , here we come !

On our other cruise on the Regal we videoed from the balcony , but you can't hear the Love Boat theme because of the prop wash . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted December 24, 2016 Author #84 Share Posted December 24, 2016 The next ship out of the port was the Silhouette There were many planes leaving as well and I was struck by the contrast of this one and the clouds The balconies on the aft of the ship are terraced just behind the Silhouette was the Conquest while the sun had settled behind this cloud bank before setting which would be coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted December 24, 2016 Author #88 Share Posted December 24, 2016 After the sunset it was time for diner , but first , can you spot the hidden Conquest ? We looked at the buffet first and I like this hand washing station there and while there were lines at the buffet , we never saw one here . Our MDR was the Allegro in the aft and service was a bit slow on the first evening . Pat's pheasant main course was a little overcooked , but we still had plenty to eat and the chances of us dying of malnutrition while on the Regal , seemed to fade like the sunset . We had an invite when we returned to our room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted December 25, 2016 Author #97 Share Posted December 25, 2016 After breakfast we saw a HAL ship turn off toward Half Moon Cay Returning to our stateroom I packed the Sony in the day back and switched to the Canon for the sail in to Eleuthera , where the Princess Cay complex is located . We could still see the HAL ship in our wake , in the distance. Princess Cay in the distance and the lifeboats were in the water , being used as tenders Here's a map of Princess Cay . The arrow points to where we would be meeting a local guide , thus leaving the complex . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted December 25, 2016 Author #99 Share Posted December 25, 2016 After leaving the Princess compound , we and 2 other couples met our guide for a more natural view of Eleuthera It's about a 3 mile ride on a very rough road to get to the beach . And while it's not private , you would think that it was . there is a small cliff here with nice views of the ocean and it's reefs But don't be deceived by the still photos , the surf and surge can be strong and there are NO lifeguards here : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted December 26, 2016 Author #100 Share Posted December 26, 2016 There is a cliff here where you can see several elements of interest in this area from this point , which is the southern tip of Eleuthera , you can see the beach and ocean on the right , an old lighthouse in the center , and a bay on the left . And here's a video clip of the same area : The ocean and the cliffs : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
