Ship Photography

Well, before I start entering more blogs here about the TransAtlantic 
portion of our cruise, I thought I would share some more pictures 
from our Mediterranean Cruise. for those who have never sailed with 
Disney Cruise Line before....the ship has it's own photogaphers and 
photo shop called "Shutters"-----and the folks from shutters take 
photos throughout your cruise...sometimes they're candid shots on 
shore excursions or at the pool and other times they're posed 
shots...often with a nice background or with the Disney characters. 
I have always been one to talk about the benefit of shutters 
photography----because Jason and I absolutely ADORE them. Not only 
do their pictures very often turn out beautifully, but having a 
collection of nice pictures from a vacation that include both Jason 
and myself is a rare treat (because we are most often vacationing 
alone together....many of our pictures that we take with our camera 
have either him OR me in them...but rarely both of us together). So 
we try to get as many pictures taken by the Shutters photographers as 
possible...and then buy the CD that they offer which includes digital 
prints of every picture they took throughout your cruise....and as an 
added bonus, because we were booked with Adventures by Disney for the 
Med portion of our cruise...our CD was included at no extra charge!!


Cruise Day 12: Sea Day


Day 12 brought us the first full day aboard the ship for our TransAtlantic voyage....which was exciting because we were so looking forward to this portion of our trip.  We sailed a TransAtlantic cruise with Disney back in may of 2007----only in the opposite direction...and we still have so many amazing memories of how wonderful that cruise was---we were looking forward to having a similarly wonderful experience this time (maybe even better since THAT time we lost 6 hours in time changes....and THIS time we GAIN 6 hours!! LOL)

Beginning the TransAtlantic portion of the trip was also bittersweet, however, because it meant we had begun the trip home.  I know people all thought we were nuts to take a trip that lasted almost a full month....but I'm not kidding when I say it has FLOWN by and we wish we could stay longer!! LOL

As you can see from today's magnet, today was a day at sea...so Jason chose an image that was both Disney and nautical! :)
