Another US Navy Ship in Port Canaveral, Florida

Good morning,

Here's another beautiful bright white US Navy ship in Port Canaveral, Florida.

I made a point this time to get a close up of the name to show our friend and reader, Mark D, that it really is a US Navy ship painted white.  Mark asked me about the color a few weeks ago when I posted other pictures of white navy ships. Perhaps things have changed since you were in the Navy, Mark?

What a lovely sight.

Waaaaay off in the distance on the left side of the above image is Cape Canaveral and NASA.

All the best,
Lois

Special Breakfast for Special People

Good morning,

Return cruisers who have earned Diamond, Diamond Plus, and Pinnacle status enjoy a special breakfast in their honor aboard Freedom of the Seas.

The breakfast is served in a formal dining room.

 Many of the ship's officers and crew join these special members for this breakfast toward the end of the cruise.

 

Great food and what a lovely view, too!

Enjoy,

Navigator of the Seas in Falmouth, Jamaica

Good morning,

As we pulled into Falmouth, Jamaica, aboard Freedom of the Seas, I looked out of my living room window and what did I see?  Sure enough, it's Navigator of the Seas, another Royal Caribbean ship.

Navigator is a slightly smaller version of Freedom.  We were aboard Navigator in 2003 to help a friend celebrate his birthday.

To us, they are all beautiful.

Promenade Deck 4 - Freedom of the Seas

Good morning,

I often take walks around the deck of Freedom of the Seas and especially like early mornings.  As you can see, it's a long walk around the deck on this ship.

With all the entertainment and activities on board, the ship still has classic ship shuffleboard.  :)

It's all great fun at sea.

Enjoy,

Sea Foam

Good morning,

I took these pictures while walking on the outside of Deck 4 of Freedom of the Seas.

The weather was beautiful and there was just enough motion in the ocean to know where we were.

I love the sea foam along side the ship.

The colors and patterns are hypnotic. 

The rhythm of the waves and the morning sun on the water are just beautiful.

 It was such a beautiful day at sea.

Enjoy,

Boleros

Good morning,

Today's images are of Bolero's, one of the lounges on board Freedom of the Seas.

The huge glass artwork panels are what fascinate me here.

 In this shot you can see how large the glass panels are over there on the other side of the dance floor.

 This is a cozy spot one deck below the traffic on the Royal Promenade.

Beautiful!

Enjoy,

Too Much Ship, Not Enough Camera

Good morning,

I took today's images while standing on the deck of Freedom of the Seas.

The ship on the next dock here in St. Maarten, Dutch West Indies, is the Celebrity Summit.

No matter how hard I tried and from what angle, I just couldn't get that whole ship in the same shot.  What a pretty ship. 

Celebrity Cruises is owned by Royal Caribbean so the Celebrity Summit is a "cousin" ship. ;)

Enjoy,
Lois
