The last two days were so sad. An end to any vacation for anyone isn't always the best feeling. Especially vacations like this. Anyway, the last day on the ship actually turned out to be a bore. Since we toured the entire ship the first day, it gets boring after you go around for seven days I know right, a cruise ship, boring??? There are only so many things you can do on a ship, and only so many activities you can do on a ship. After you've done almost everything, there isn't anything left for you. My friends and I ended up playing all sorts of games around the ship, as well as activities the staff provided. When I think about it now, it all felt so fun. It's really something to miss.
This was taken from our room. We got a balcony room on the port side. (left side). The sun in this picture gleams so brightly and the reflection it makes is just real cool. Ocean pictures are always "risky" because the horizon has to be perfect. It would looks disproportional.
This is a different filter but the same picture. In this picture, the sun really stands out. The sun itself and the reflection. I think the sun really shines because there aren't any clouds near it which could potentially block the sun. Plus, the camera did a good job up picking up all the light the sun is giving.
This is the port side of the ship. We were going through the Chesapeake Bay area. So I took this on my balcony. 6th floor. The room right next to mine was one of my friends rooms. We got lucky that way. So most nights, when the parents were out about the ship, all of the kids (from all seven families) would be piled into the two of our rooms. It was so much fun because we would talk through the walls, talk through the balcony and through the phone!
I took this the last night on board. It was getting stormy in the distance, and plenty of lightening everywhere. It wasn't raining but it was real windy. I tried and tried to get a nice shot of the lightening. (The lightening kept going, so I had enough time to try.)And.....I did! Its not that great at all, I admit, but its something for a start. I've never taken one of lightening before, basically because it's just so hard to catch.
This was from the last few hours on the ship. It was a Sunday morning, and we were frantically trying to pack the hand-luggage. I checked out on the balcony to see the view and I saw the Chesapeake Bay Bridge coming up. Perfect timing!!! So I sprinted up to the top deck to see the ship get under the bridge. I was so surprised because it fit under just by a couple yards. So in this picture, I was standing backwards, so the bridge already passed the tallest part of the ship. (It's like leaving the ship now, not coming towards it anymore.) I also tried to get the sun in it somehow though, since it was just awkwardly there. I know this picture doesn't really show that the ship is going under the bridge, etc.
Well, honestly, I will always always remember this cruise and alllllllll the experiences we had. Pictures help us remember those moments, so where ever you are, take pictures! You'll remember those moments and you will be glad you took the picture. :)
