Here are a few shots from our last cruise on Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas in December of 2007. We are scheduled to be on the Navigator of the Seas in April.

Noticed the sea depth!! This was during the night in transit from Jamaica to Grand Cayman. This area is known as the Cayman Trench.

Absolutely gorgeous here. It is Rum Point, located on Grand Cayman.

Headed back to our home away from home.

Our view from the balcony of our room. Ain't God good!!

It truly is Rich. We are so excited to be going back on another cruise in April. This one will be shorter, only a 4 nighter that is getting squeezed into a spring break that the wife and daughter have. But, it is better than nothing and is on another wonderful ship. I highly recommend a cruise to everyone.

That looks like a great time. I took my family on a 7 night Disney Cruise about 10 years ago. It was probably one of the best vacations we have taken.

As for the Sea Depth....WOW, 3 miles deep...That is hard to believe.

Thanks for sharing the pics Bruce

Now that's a Big Boat (I mean Ship). Never been on a cruise heard that they are fun. I spend too much time on the water already, but looking at the pictures it would be a great trip if I went.

Mike, you would love it. These ships are a far cry from an oil rig!!! The Liberty of the Seas was the biggest ship on the water at the time. It was nearly 1200 feet long and 160,000 tons!!! We never saw all of it in 7 days if that tells you anything. There was not another ship that we didn't look down on and we looked down on every building in every port. Notice I said WAS the biggest. RCCL just came out with a brand new ship, Oasis of the Seas, that is well over 1200 feet long and 220,000 tons!!! At some point, these things will have to not float anymore!! :lol:

That water was incredibly deep Steve. I was up late that night because our 15th anniversary was going to be the next morning and I was reflecting on how much fun we have had over the years. I was out on the balcony and when looking down at the ocean, it was just black, not the deep blue we were accustomed to but black. I knew it was deep but when I pulled the ships info channel up, my knees got weak!! My thoughts were, "man don't sink now"!!! Even standing there looking at the water was unbelievable.

Speaking of deep water, those pics of rum point showed you the beauty of the water. We were snorkeling there and the water ranged from 20 to 40 feet. Not more than 200 yards away, probably less, the water got very dark. I assumed that meant it got deeper, so I asked the dive boat captain what the depth was. His reply, "don't go near that"!! I said, don't worry I'm not but how deep is it. He told me were on the top of an underwater mountain where we were and that the dark water was 6,000 feet deep!! :shock: He said it didn't drop gradually but went from the 40 feet we were in straight down to 6,000 feet. For some reason, I kept looking over my shoulder the rest of the time to make sure I didn't drift that direction!! :shock:
