Here is a drone photo I took a couple of years ago while the Carnival Glory was docked in Jamaica. I love the color of the Caribbean Sea.
Mardi Gras Sunrise
I took this photo at the stern of the Carnival Mardi Gras right underneath the roller coaster… (as you can guess by the title of this post) at sunrise. I love how all the different colors in this photo play with your eyes. I think it works in a weird way. I don’t think you’d walk past this spot normally and think “photo spot”. But on this morning, it caught my attention.
Panama Canal
Here is a series of photos I took a few years ago while travel through the Panama Canal on a ship. It is an exciting and boring experience all at the same time. You can tell by the photos below, it takes awhile to travel through the canal…we started around noon and it was dark towards the end.
Mardi Gras Dining Room
Sunday architectural photo for you. This is the main dining room on the Carnival Mardi Gras cruise ship.
Emeril's Bistro
I didn’t try any of the food or drinks at this spot, but the restaurant looks cool. This is located on the Carnival Mardi Gras.
Mardi Gras Conference Room
Why don’t I have a conference like this at work? Probably because I don’t work on a cruise ship…. But I liked this set up and the interior designer has my respect. This room is used as a universal space outside the main dining room on the Carnival Mardi Gras
CCL Mardi Gras
Here is another photo from our time on the Carnival Mardi Gras. As you can tell, I captured this at sunrise. Just me and a lone swimmer.
Dream On The Move
During our last cruise on the Carnival Mardi Gras, I had an opportunity to get some drone footage and photos of the Carnival Dream while it was coming into port. I don’t know if the ship knew I was flying around it with the drone, but I got some great content. Here is a photo I took when I was done and the ship was sailing away from me.
Purple Vibes
Here is another photo from the Carnival Mardi Gras. Many of the common spaces had these color changing light panels. So, the environment changed colors all the time. I’d often take multiple photos of the same spot as the color would change over and over. I decided to share this purple version with you since MJ’s favorite color is purple. I also really liked this space and we had cocktails in this location a few times.
Mardi Gras Bar
MJ and I had a chance to experience the relatively new Carnival Mardi Gras cruise ship. As you can imagine, it’s been a while since we’ve been on a cruise boat. Like my past practice, I got up very early one morning to photograph the ship while everyone else slept. This is one of many bars on the ship.
Crossing The Danube
I loved Budapest and really want to go back. But as we all know, that’s not likely to happen in today’s COVID world. I captured this photo during our European river cruise using my drone.
CCL Glory
I’m so ready to get back to normal or at least as close to “normal” as we can. For us, that means getting back on a cruise boat. You can help by getting fully vaccinated against COVID, if you haven’t already. If you’re already fully vaccinated, thank you very much.
I captured this via my drone right before the pandemic started.
Overwhelming
The colors, textures and patterns on this room are just overwhelming. This is the main lobby of a Carnival cruise ship. Sorry I don’t remember which one.
Danube River Cruising
Here is the Gate 1 Travel river cruise boat called Monarch Princess sitting in the Danube River at Regensburg Germany.
Splendor
Here is an interior architecture photo for you that looks a little abstract/contemporary. This is the upper floors of the Carnival Splendor looking out at the elevators and open atrium over the lobby. I liked the colors, patterns, textures and abstract feel of this scene.
Regensburg - Danube
I took this drone photo looking down on the city of Regensburg, Germany and the Danube River back in 2019. This was right before we got on a river boat and cruised down the Danube all the way to Budapest. Great, great, great trip.
P&O Cruises
Here is a minimalist photo I took that includes a P&O Cruise ship off Bonaire last year. Love that Caribbean Sky!!
Carnival Glory in Jamaica
Here is a video of the Carnival Glory docked in Jamaica captured via my drone. I captured this footage in early 2020 just before COVID hit the United States…. We probably got lucky we were not trapped on the ship when we returned to New Orleans.
Glory in Port
Travel, travel, travel……. As I’ve said before, I’m ready to start traveling again. But like most people, I’m not traveling to make sure I don’t potentially infect anyone and that they don’t infect me or my family. Plus I’m not sure any country would accept America travelers right now anyway…..
So again, here is a photo from a past trip. I took this photo of the Carnival Glory in February while it was docked in Jamaica.

UFO Observation Deck
This cool looking restaurant and observation deck was on the south side of the Danube River above the bridge in Bratislava, Slovakia. We didn’t go up there, but we should have…. Oh well, next trip.
