Follow up to our cruise pic heavy

As some of you read in my previous thread http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=458988 the trip started out crappy and the boat was selling overpriced Rolex with aftermarket parts. Although I will never go with Carnival again, we did have some fun. We spent some time at Atlantic and swimming with dolphins in Freeport.

The Captain asked my son to pilot the boat back to freeport from the dolphin encounter. He was telling bad fish jokes like "why are fish so smart?" "Because the are always in school." My son asked him what fish smoke? No-one could get it so my son said "Sea weed." He had the entire boat cracking up.

Atlantis was cool. Stopped in the Rolex store there and tried on the platona. I think they said it was $72k with no tax. They don't ship either. Couldn't get pics inside the store.

Wow...love the dolphin shots. That is a dream of my family one day, too.

Thanks for the great pics.

After reading all the posts about room safes, I'll never use them again. Brought my Oakley vault and hid it in my dirty laundry. Thanks to Dr. Tom and several other members on the forum recommending jewelers mutual, I wasn't worried at all. If the watches disappeared I'd get to go shopping again. Win win.

My wife and I have cruised with Carnival before and also NCL but our favorite cruise line by far is Royal Caribbean (14 Cruises). If you try another one Mike check out RC sailing out of Bayonne. No airline to deal with and you vacation starts as soon as you board.

Sure thing Mike. Forgot to mention that Royal Caribbean has the best ships by far. You and your family won't be disappointed.

Nice we are Princess cruisers. Sort of hooked into the benefits. While a lot of people don't like the repositioning cruises ,we love them. April we get to go to Europe. September its Iceland and Norway and Canada.

Nice shots LT - Great Trip!

We went on NCL Breakaway out of Manhattan in December and it was superb!

And yes, the onboard watch selection was horrible.
