For those who scrapbook your cruises...

[maslex]

I've been on 4 cruises so far and I have two booked as we speak. It seems as though I always take the same pictures while on board and then when I sit down to scrap them, everything looks the same from album to album.

I was thinking maybe we all could come up with a list of pages that are in your cruise album. I always have the same ole/same ole but maybe I'm forgetting some, who knows So what are the pages that you always include in your album?

Boarding the ship (or waiting in the terminal)
Formal night
Pool
Restaurants/dinners
Life jacket
Cabin
Each island you stop at
Drink of the day
Maybe new friends that you've met

Those are the ones that I usually have, but do you have any others that you can contribute?

I haven't cruised yet, but, I am planning on taking lots of food pictures and I will include snorkeling and pictures of the architecture and design of the ship.

How about mixing up your album a little this time and doing an abc's of cruising album. You could do either a one page or two page layout for each letter, and some letters you could get real creative with, ie X.

B - pictures for the boat, or S for the ship
C - for your cabin

I haven't completed these yet, but plan on:

Pirate night
Character breakfast
First glimpse of the ship

One of my friends took a picture of her kids sitting in a porthole window (one of the bigger ones in a common area). It turned out so cute. Her kids are staring out at the ocean and she is shooting from behind them. I'm going to try and get one of these pics of my kids when we sail in Feb.

Yep, I do have a couple pictures like this of when my boys were younger. I wanted to get more of the same since they're older now, but for some reason, this ship didn't have those big round port hole windows. Strange..... *atleast I didn't see any*

Try a few pics of the unique Disney features on each ship, pose with some crew members who dont normally get pics with, empty decks early in the AM or late in the evening.

Every cruise I've taken seems to have a different theme and a story all it's own.

I always have food, table, server, stateroom host photos, characters both formal & candids, pretty shoes.

Last trip - art class photos - what the instructor drew, my tablemates' versions of the drawing, my drawings

Lecture photos/notes

Origami class photos

Port photos

Holiday decor if there's a holiday

show
party
cooking demos
drinks
palo
cove cafe
favorite servers - and servers/hosts from previous cruises that I run into again

pictures of the map and location info from the tv screen every day

Early cruises included photos of the towel animals, the class to make towel animals, napkin folding - I don't take those much any more unless they're amazingly special. One hostess made complex minis out of wash cloths - like a bird on a nest about the size of my two fists. I definitely took a photo of that one.

Last cruise - my table mates were most often photographed

TeddyBear photos - formal night, pirate night, with characters, etc.

Next cruise will be all about our borrowed "grandkids".
