Serenading Piper

 Good morning,

This piper was serenading passengers aboard Independence of the Seas in Halifax, Nova Scotia.   

It's always fun to see what is happening on the dockside at the various ports.  This was just lovely!

Enjoy!

Towel Critter

 Good morning,

We're not sure what critter this is, but it is some sort of sweet mommy with her baby.

Towel critters have become such an important part of cruising.  I remember when the first simple ones began to appear more than thirty years ago.  They've now become a fun tradition.

Enjoy,

Lois

Independence of the Seas - Pool Deck Artwork

 Good morning,

Each Royal Caribbean ship has distinctive artwork and Independence of the Seas is no exception.

This is artwork on the pool deck.  Note the etched glass in the upper right corner of this image, too.

When you cruise, be sure to take time to stroll around the ship and enjoy the artwork.  A port day when you want to stay aboard and relax is a perfect time to do this.

Enjoy!

Great Food Aboard Independence of the Seas

 Good morning,

Here are just a few images of the great food served aboard Independence of the Seas.  Above is a BBQ sandwich served on boarding day. 

 Soups are made on board.  Yummmmm.

 Main dinner course Beef Bourguignon.  

Soup at another meal....

The great food just keeps coming!

I think I've gained five pounds just looking at the images....

Yum!
