The Photo Gallery

Here are all of the really interesting pictures (well, ones I'm willing to share with the world) that my brother and I took while on the cruise. There were long stretches of boredom while on the cruise, and it was at these times when we were at our craziest (or funniest, depending on taste). And so, beware, this could take a while to load.

Here is the 3D map of the ship. And of course, I'm biting it...

Almost all of the staff aboard the ship were foreign. Pictured on the right is our personal waiter for the week JR (which stands for "Just Relax"... no really, he said so) and on the left his is assistant waiter Csaba, from Hungary.

While I didn't meet too many people on the boat, I did find time to fraternize with a real explorer... TV's Vascodagama!

During the first excursion we had to Freeport (the first island we docked at) we took a tour boat called the Bahama Mama. What was supposed to be a one hour tour, turned into a rocky two hour tour (and almost a sitcom) which caused my dad to almost barf everywhere. Talk about a party boat!

Talk about the most-freaking-adorable thing I have ever seen. And guess what? They were all over the ship! In every hallway there were at least two of these incredible shop vacs named Henry.

In celebration of the biggest hot air convention on TV (ahem... the Democratic National Convention, to be specific) I checked out this marvelous biography on Bill Clinton... and then I preemptively shoved it in the returned book slot of the ship's library.

On our last day of excursions, we visited the ever exciting Kennedy Space Center in Florida. And while I was off trying to start a fight with some of the employees, my parents got their picture taken with this astronaut, who had just arrived back from the same crazy planet Teresa Heinz Kerry hails from.

This is a picture of me telling a joke to a viking.

And this is a picture of my brother punching the viking in the face.

This picture is totally true... I kick ass on the piano. Okay, no I don't.

This is a picture of our waiter JR (Just Relax) with me, Danny, and my dad.

Well that's all for now. Hope you enjoyed these pictures... I'm sure I can pull out a few more. But for now, hope. My next blog entry about the cruise will be about the interesting people and workers that I met along the way. This includes more information about JR (Just Relax) and Csaba!

Until next time... don't bite 3D maps of ships.
