    Which classic wines are worth it?

    This problem with a generic wine list like this is that there are no vintages given. That said, you can always Google the wines that you are interested in and see what is being said about them. Zolo is a very cheap wine label. They go for less than $10 a bottle online. And the reviews are not...

    Castaway Cay ideas for non-beach loving older folks?

    My wife and I are older, but don't feel that old. We are not beach folks either. That said, we enjoy hanging out in the Adult area people watching and soaking our feet. The adult beach is shallow and great to walk out a good distance. There are plenty of umbrellas to park under to get out from...

    The David or Pisa?

    The David and Florence is by far the better option. Standing in front of David is just humbling. Photos do not do it justice. Regards,

    No Fans or Curling Irons??!?!??!??

    One of the items that always gets forgotten in discussions of this type is safety. You are on a big metal slab, floating on water, with electricity running through the big metal slab. Now if you are at home, you can check this out. Take off your shoes, stand in the bathtub full of water, and...

    Thoughts About Staffing Changes

    We were on the Magic last week. The crew was not stripped to the bone. Our head server (Brian) had 2 years with the Magic, our favorite bartender has been with the Magic for 12 years, the Stateroom attendant had 6 years with the ship. The assistant server (Pedro) had been with the ship only 2...

    January 29, 2011 - 7 Day Eastern - WOOHOO!!

    You are going to be very lucky if you get to the port by 11a. Baggage at MCO is some of the slowest in the US. Reset your wish to noon, that way if you are there earlier than you will be surprised. To be honest, there is not all that much to do in the terminal at the Port. There is limited...

    January 29, 2011 - 7 Day Eastern - WOOHOO!!

    I just booked this cruise for the DW and self. This will be our 5th cruise and 3rd Eastern. The last cruise was in Jan 09. Water was lovely that go round, but CC was a bit on the chilly side. That did not prevent me from getting wet. Chuck

    RAW file format

    I have been shooting RAW most of my digital life. I don't spend all that much time on post processing. You get it right in the camera and you don't have to spend all that much time. I check for dust, crop if needed, and do some basic tweaks. If you need to do more than that, and are not a...

    Photo printer

    I have two Epson printers. The R800 and the 2880. I use the R800 for the 4x6's and the 2880 for anything else. I will never send out for prints. The 2880 uses the same inks as the super large commercial printers, plus I get the option of what paper I am going to use. I have been...

    1/10/09- EARLY Roll Call! Who's coming?

    It was more of a shock to meet some one with the same last name. Rainbow. Not too many of us out there. Met Lourella (I hope that I spell that correctly) with the second cruise. We drove down that time and while waiting to park a cast member mentioned that they had a couple that worked there...

    1/10/09- EARLY Roll Call! Who's coming?

    On previous cruises, I did not notice that many folks in "formal wear". DW does dress up and I wear a suit. This time we have Palo reservations. Chuck
