We met this sweet women from Bar Harbor ME. During the pouring rain on the one of the top decks as we pulled away from port, we invited her to join our table with was covered. She shared her story of how she wanted to do a cruise but her husband was not physically up for it said to her “go, you need to do one”. Made me realize how fortunate some are to have good health to do things others can not. And how a loving mate can make all the difference. #royalcaribeancruise #harmonyoftheseas

The “Sail Away Party” to be held on deck 16 had to be moved to deck 5 due to rain. These folks were just not having it though. Not us... #royalcaribeancruise #harmonyoftheseas #sailawayparty

Last night before heading to the port, we found this fantastic place for dinner. This couple stopped to have a “chat” with the local cat that is clearly a frequent visitor as well. Rumor has it, the cat does not really care for shellfish. Straight up fish only please...

It’s really hard to get a shot of this ship up close. Next best thing was from the back just prior to boarding. At this point, I was really beginning to wonder what the experience would be like. More to come on that! #royalcarribeancruise #harmonyoftheseas #firstcruise #cruising

Had the opportunity to do a photo shoot today at what is apparently a very popular place for photographers. There were so many shoots going on, I nearly felt like there should be “take a number” dispensers .. :). #canon5dmarkiv

Cultural places in Chicago are some of the best places along or near the lake to visit. The Museum, Aquarium, Planetarium and Art Museum all are so close and convenient. If you visit Chi-town, pay one or more a visit. You won’t be disappointed. We spent some time in the Planetarium this weekend and enjoyed the exhibits and lighting....
