JD's 2nd Caribbean cruise pics

[JD10367]

As I've said in my other Pics threads, I certainly don't consider it worthy of the "classic thread" forum but I don't want to clutter the main board with it.

Here we go. First up... View of the ship walking over from the parking garage in Port Lauderdale.

Pool deck as seen from the Viking Crown Lounge in the stack, while sipping my first of many pina coladas.

Solarium (adult pool with a retractable roof).

Leaving the channel at Port Lauderdale and entering the Atlantic Ocean, woo hoo!

Moon on the water, first night. (My camera has crappy slow-shutter ability so this was as good as I could get.)

Very Good Pictures JD.

Went to Jamaica in January. Went snorkeling and saw a stingray bury itself in the sand just below me. It was hard to get a sense of the size and space, but the thing looked to be about 15 feet long from nose to tail. Too cool, but thgouhts of Steve Irwin did passs through my head a couple times.

They tell you to shuffle your feet along the bottom to make sure you're not stepping on one. But there were so few people on the sandbar we all pretty much walked around. A lot of stingrays backed into me and poked me with the very tip of the tail, which burned a bit, but the stinger IIRC is closer to the body.

Nicely done JD.

I didn't even go into the gift shop. The place was literally three dumpy small buildings, and that rock formation out back. Had to get a shot under that post office sign though.

Really should have said, "Welcome to Hell", and then had a pic of Manning and the Giants celebrating the SB win.

AV? If you're referring to my avatar, i.e. the harness set-up for ziplining, I'd have to say, "Yes" (or, in a high-pitched voice, "Yes!"). One of the traverses was straight down, and basically the guy on the top platform held your weight and then dropped you and halfway down the guy on the ground took up the weight, and the result was that you plummetted about 10 feet and then got yanked to a stop. Let's just say, I cried out sharply, and it wasn't from fear. In my review on Cruise Critic I said, "Men: bring a cup."
