Fantastic photos, was your cabin 7620?

That is the cabin that we were in on our 3 day cruise in September.

Great pictures Brad!!! crap, a 40D??? I've been drooling over that lately....think the sudden demise of my walk around lens last weekend justifies a full upgrade of my 18 month old Rebel XT???!!!

I especially liked the character pictures - great color, very sharp!


Someone asked about an empty ship. I always go up on deck right at the end of Castaway Cay day (when everyone is coming back and changing) to snap pictures; the upper decks are always empty then!

 

[bradk]

my days were pretty full and booked. a lot of the pics i took were during embarking. i was at the terminal at 9:30 and had group 2 and after i checked in for the pin event and made my polo reservation, i did what i could all around the ship to get photos. some were taken during tours, some were taken in the wee hours of the morning.

incidentally, not sure if i mentioned it, but i was able to recover my missing photos. should have a few more to add tomorrow including the shot of the wonder i took while parasailing.

Great photos! We are thinking of a cruise, and I was looking for some compelling photography to sway me! Just the ticket!

BRAD - who was the guy with the tennis ball and racket? What show was that??? I'm pretty sure he was on our Magic cruise last year and my boys LOVED his show! It would be great to see him on our Wonder trip next week!

re: MIKE HARRISON...I thought the current show line up on a 3 day is

Day 1: Herc
Day 2: Golden Mickeys or Dreams or some other DCL/Disney show
Day 3: Golden Mickeys or Dreams or some other DCL/Disney show

so, where does his act come in? Just wondering, trying to plan as much into my little bitty 3 days as I can!

or were you on a 4 day??? doh! that must be it; sorry, thought you said you were on a 3 day.

On a 3-night it should be Herc, Golden Mickeys, and Disney Dreams in that order. (Until early 2008, when Herc will be replaced by Toy Story.)

 

[bradk]

yes, it was 4 day, sorry.

although Michael Harrison performed several shows during the cruise. the first night was the one in the Walt Disney theatre, the other performances were an adults only show in WaveBands which I also saw as well as another family show and a magic workshop, although that was on the day at sea

[WeatherbySwann]

Glad you were able to recover em!
That parasailing pic is gorgeous.

Thanks for posting all of the pictures! They're terrific!

So... If we're really type-A personalities, we should eschew the prevailing advice not to bother showing up at the port before 10 because you absolutely cannot get in before then, anyway? Because that's what this A is hearing. *note to self: set alarm one hour earlier...*

We always arrive around 9:30 and wait!

 

[bradk]

you can get in before 10, but you can't leave any bags with the porters outside before 10 and you can't check in before 10 (or whatever time they decide to start).

so if you have a lot of bags you don't want to deal with all day, i'd probably show up as close to 9:45 or so and wait for the porters outside.
