Thank you, I am mainly using my Samsung S8+ and for longer shots a Sony RX6. But as photography was my profession for the last 48 years I can tell you that it is the eye that matters not the equipment. Anyway it can't always be fun, see the picture below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 300 killed, 500 arrested, radio stations and newspapers threatened and shut down. I was in San Juan del Sur in January 2017. Enjoyed it then. Would not want to be there now. So sad and sorry to hear that. Some of those Central American countries have such a difficult time being stable. El Salvador too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aikilee Posted January 23, 2019 #403 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Ignorance is bliss. We were there yesterday and had a great day. Toured the Flor de Cana Rum distillery. Amazing tasting and very interesting tour. Well worth the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted January 23, 2019 #404 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I love Flor De Cana, my brother has been going to Nicaragua for about 20 years on humanitarian missions, actually just got back, and he always brings me a bottle or two. They had suspended going there for the past 8-10 months but recently started back. He told me if you didn't know there had been problems you really wouldn't know, but many of the locals are anxious over what the future holds.

Go-Bucks hasn't even boarded the ship yet and has 17 pages of posts on her I felt it would be more interesting and informative to have input from any CC passenger on this cruise since each will have different experiences. I will definitely be posting once I get onboard. Connie will be doing a blog of her experiences. Just 6 more days till we board! 🤩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read that passengers on past world cruises made quilts which they auctioned off to raise money for the crew (great idea)...so, is this in any way similar? Just curious.

Sure thing, Lisa...it’s essentially the same thing, except that this time, we are making a collage from photos or things we find on our cruise that will be layered and pasted on the panels. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skmar Posted January 25, 2019 #419 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hoping that Oceania advises all those sailing with her in the next 6 months on the measures taken to fix this extremely poor USPH inspection rating.

roothy123 Posted January 25, 2019 #423 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Sorry for a quick intrusion, but I was curious if the world cruise goes to Australia and New Zealand, and if so, what months? Or is it just Regatta that goes there? I'm afraid I don't have time to read 17 pages to find out the answer, sorry!
