Grand Cayman Shoreline

Good morning,

This was the view from our table at lunch in the Windjammer Restaurant aboard Freedom of the Seas last week.  That's Grand Cayman off in the distance.  What a lovely view.

One of the nicest parts of cruising is the changing scene right outside your window.

Enjoy,
Lois

Neighboring Vessels - Anchored off Grand Cayman

Good morning,

That lovely white yacht was near us off Grand Cayman a few days ago. 

It's interesting to see the different types of vessels while we are out here at sea.  Also in the image you can see a commercial barge.  Quite a contrast!

Enjoy,
Lois

Royal Suite Artwork - Freedom of the Seas

Good morning,

Above is more artwork in the Royal Suite aboard Freedom of the Seas.  That lovely piece would look great in my home, decorated in blue. 
These are images of...
...the dining area...
...in the Royal Suite.
Our friends were living in the Royal Suite once again and were good enough to let me snap a few more pictures to use here on my blog.  Thank you, Martha and Russell!
 If you're having a group of friends over for a party, this suite is perfect for entertaining.

 Just beautiful!

Another Towel Critter - Freedom of the Seas

Good morning,

The stateroom attendants create and leave these darling critters for guests to find when they return to their staterooms.
This critter was found in our friend's suite last week.  It seems he has a love of chocolate!  ;)

So cute!

Calm After the Holidays

Good morning,

After all the excitement of the holidays aboard Freedom of the Seas, it was wonderful to enjoy some days of calm. 

I took this image as I walked the deck on a beautiful sea day.

Enjoy,

Pinnacle Member Luncheon - Freedom of the Seas

Good morning,

While the Pinnacle Members were posing for a group picture before a special luncheon in their honor, our daughter, Catherine, snapped a few pictures with my camera.
The dining room aboard Freedom of the Seas is quite elegant.  And, the food is fabulous!

It pays to be a frequent cruiser with Royal Caribbean. 

All the best,
Lois

Flash Back to New Years Eve - Freedom of the Seas

Good morning,

We had a great New Year on board Freedom of the Seas!
Everyone gathered on Deck Five for the festivities.
There was a giant screen above the Royal Promenade that would be watched as the countdown got close to 2016.
The Cruise Director and entertainers kept the crowd busy as the minutes ticked away.

Captain Ron is ready to go out on the bridge over the Promenade to announce the countdown.

 Ben and Jerry's cows looked on....
 Then we went out on the bridge over the promenade to cheer in the New Year.
 We took pictures of the people on Deck 5 as they took pictures of us. 
 We are getting close!
 Closer!
 Happy New Year 2016!
 Here come the balloons!

Enjoy,
Lois
