Can’t wait to see your photos and hear all about the cruise. Please post a review. I’m definitely interested in doing something like this in the near future. Would love to know what you think of it.

Absolutely

Looks like a lifetime destination list. Enjoy.

Thank you

I will have the camera with me at every offshore location so hoping to grab some nice shots.

Have fun. My idea of a cruise is running a 21 ft center console with a Merc 115 outboard.

We gave up and turned on the AC units. First floor is doing OK but second is still hot. Central is still a long way off so we're going to put an additional portable unit up there.

Travel light, gear-wise. Less weight, less fuss, less fatigue=more shots, better shots.

That was the whole reason behind my purchase of the Sony RX10IV for our trip to the Cayman Islands; lightweight with a fantastic lens, and easy to carry in a cross body bag.

Well the countdown is really on now. My wife and i are taking our first ever Cruise on the Azamara Onward. Adults only , luxury style cruise. here is a pic of the ship and the cruise map. We board in Monte Carlo on the 18th. It is definitely a "Bucket List" trip for us.

That looks like an incredible journey. I dream of one of those cruises, along with a Rhine-Danube cruise. Some day, maybe. Sigh.

Onshore I will just have the camera with the rf24-105 mounted on it. I brought my rf100-400 in case i wanted to grab some shots of the shore from the ship. I will have the camera and lens in a Peak Design travel bag so i dont have to carry the camera all day long just bring it out when i need it. It just holds the camera with the lens attached perfectly.

Bon voyage! Should be countless opportunities for great shots. Look forward to seeing the results when you return. Rumor has it, they have fantastic Italian food there . Safe travels!

Hey @SquarePeg, will Boston ever recover from being overrun by the Tartan Army? It looks like they've been having a blast with the orange street cones and the fairy liquid in the fountain. Down here Buc-ee's has become a theme park of sorts, and I think we are going to have a BBQ brisket shortage. It's been fantastic to watch people having so much fun.

I didn't know Texas had any Buc-ee's! I always associate them with Interstate 75.

They are apparently in New Jersey,as well. There's a billboard along the turnpiike.

MLW's phone shot of the Canadian family visiting the back yard. Fingerprint on the lens or shot through the window screen, so the focus is soft.

This is Jack and Ginger, dad and mom. The wee ones are Lex, Lorrie, Beau, Dirk, Francie, Stephen, Michael, Rose, Paula, Nick, and little Moxie is behind mom.
