Here is Tampa Bay from the boat - I think that the building on the right is the Marriott. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another one of Tampa before we left the dock and I think that is the arena or whatever they call that thing. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's a beautiful one of the dock as the thrusters were pushing us sideways - that's what was the noisiest and bumpiest of any of the movements. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tail - I never realized in looking at them in pictures that they were actually the smoke stacks - stuff comes out both sides plus down the middle. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's the lobby bar - think it's called the Grand Atrium Bar or something like that and is in the middle of the boat - 7 floors & then a skylight. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another shot from looking down at the Atrium, looks like I was on the 3rd floor. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the jogging trail and think that it's on the 5th level. There is also a place on the back where I hung out when the sun was shining. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This one is looking down at the main pool and where all of the action was, the main restaurants were also on this level. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another one of the pools - and they had some pretty darn neat life rafts, but guess that we didn't need them (but they held like 150 ppl each!). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main stairs off of the lobby - they had a piano player and flute player there most of the time too. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They have some pretty cool elevators too - off of the main lobby anyways and reminded me of riding the one's at the Westin Bonaventure. |
|

Early morning Grand Cayman - all of the little boats come in as we entered port. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Grand Cayman again and this is another Carnival ship that must have been following us - didn't see it until we got close to land. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another cruise ship from the Caymans, there were also a couple of Princess Cruise Lines behind us too. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
7:00am - my first sunrise that I've seen like that in years ...... picture #01. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7:15am - pic #04 and still rising. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another sunrise pic - guess that I got bored of the sun. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And another ...... think that it's time for a nap - or was it breakfast :?) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This one came from my horse riding photos, still a pretty cool sunrise pic. |
|
|
|

One of the docks in Cozumel - another ship showed up sometime soon after and parked next to us. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Same dock - still no boat yet. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Taken from the base of the dock looking back at our ship - plus a Princess Cruise ship that was parked next to us. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Looking down at the water while the motors were running. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And the wake that we created ...... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This was another sunrise on a different day - Wednesday I think (sure didn't do any sleeping in!). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One of the shots as we were teathering off the boat on our ride to Grand Cayman. |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Here's me getting off the boat in Cozumel - kewt, ain't I :) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Me and my trusty horse - think his name was Electric something but he was a good horse - wanted to run but I wouldn't let him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ole watering hole at the Dude Ranch, Cozumel Mexico. |
|
|
|

Another one of our ship while teathering in Grand Cayman. |

Everyone was having a great time on Monday afternoon! |

And away ...... enough all ready! |

|
|
|
|
|
|
Shopping on the streets of Grand Cayman - souvenior shops gallour! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sitting on the 2nd floor bar sipping strawberry daquiri's looking out over the Bay in Grand Cayman :) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Grand Cayman - it was a tourist zoo! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And finally - looking down the street at Cayman, lots of new building going up and I was surprised to find a Hard Rock Cafe - just like home! |
