This is a casual & silly fun wine theme that we have done before - "Royal/Celebrity Winos" - (in other words, each group or couple or whatever can bring a bottle of wine owned or made by a Royal or celebrity - for example, Angelina Jolie owns Whispering Angel rose wines... and its served on the ships 😉 get it... fun.   We will have wines from our vineyard as well that we own too that we will be offering.  Look forward to meeting & seeing everyone for a drink. We are celebrating Royals 50^th and some birthdays too 😊

 

Cheers!

We went to a party Tariq had in his loft suite a few years back on Oasis.

You should definitely go to the wine party!

What kind of camera do you use underwater?

[aring75]

Lunch in Cozumel today. Margaritaville at the port. Walked around, got some Krazy Glue to repair Mark’s dress shoes ☹️, got some vanilla for my mom and for me, found some adorable souvenirs for the house/cat sitter,

 

 

...and then realized it was ridiculously hot. Decided to stop for drinks and lunch at Margaritaville right there next to the ship. 

 

We were seated just under the awning next to the fans. With a great view of Symphony’s aft. 
 

 

Mojitos, Lava Flows and Street Tacos

 

 

 

Enchantment was docked next to us today.

Hi!! It’s an Olympus TG-5. I love it, even though I’m still learning how to use it. It takes pretty decent “regular” pictures too. It just doesn’t have a super tight zoom ratio.

I bought the same Olympus last year for a trip to French Polynesia after reading many reviews.  It takes amazing underwater pics, esp with the fisheye lens.  Easy to use, many features.  I did take a bunch of time to read the manual, though, and I think that helped because it’s not entirely intuitive.  These were all taken with this camera, incl the one of the coral with the microscope setting.

I absolutely love your underwater photos! Obviously I am going to need to book SEVERAL more cruises so I can get some more practice. 
 

French Polynesia you say? Oh Mark...

😁😁😁

Thanks!  I highly recommend the cruises for the practice, now that you have the camera......

FP was spectacular.  I’d go again in a heartbeat.  Def tell Mark!

Pink zin wasn't allowed. 😉

I think this was a Paso Robles. Very tasty.

I didnt get the BYOB invite in time, but @Milwaukee Eight picked us up a nice pinot noirs to share.

So I’ve been trying to watch out for a sale like you mentioned. I know I used to see those all the time in the past. Of course, I was on other ships. As of our packet of papers that came with Day 5, we have received the “10-20-30% discount”. I took a couple of pictures of the offers that I HAVE seen. And I will let you know if there are any more. 

 

Thank you so much for posting.  I apologize for the lateness of the reply, today was an in-office day for me.  I really appreciate you taking the time.  😊

[Sunshine3601]

Beautiful pictures.   I am do for a new camera and will definitely have to put that on my Christmas wish list !

 

Happy Birthday and many more....

A little back story on Tariq...... he was one of the husbands

on The Real Housewives of D.C., so you might recognize him, if you ever saw the show.
