When we were on the Celebrity Constellation last summer, I realized what wonderful art that ship had. (

Cleopatra's Needle reached 3-4 floors, but the entertainment venue was also very interesting.
The art ranged from the huge (above) to small pieces in hallway cases. . .
Which actually helped us know where to turn for our elevator.
Another piece that was several floors high reminded me of mountain climbers. This was called "Time" by Victor Lind, a Norwegian.
Many of the pieces were in the stair wells, so if you took the elevator, you might miss them (above and below)
The piece above really caught my eye "Angel in Flight II" by an American Helaine Blumenfeld. It inspired another piece of art:
A photograph by a British man David Buckland. If you look closely you'll see my portrait there, too!
But, there were some beautiful pieces by the elevators, also.
Some you needed to see from an elevator. Notice the grid in both photos---one photo was in the elevator and one was outside the elevator looking up.
Some pieces were a twist on familiar subjects like the Statue of Liberty above.
This looked like a green glass figure draped in a gold vine, or maybe a mummy. . . .
We reached Cozumel, but the wind was so strong that many of the dive excursions were canceled. We tried to leave the ship, but we returned after a few steps because of the wind.
We hadn't really planned to do much since we knew 6 ships were going to be there (pictured above are 4 ships---two Carnival and two Royal Caribbean including ours)
We were on the Voyager on the right next to the super cruise ship Freedom of the Seas.
Soon, we were headed home. . . .
With me as the navigator: Triptik (Dave likes to pick it up and see it), the map (for the big picture), GPS (to double check AAA and to hear the voice give directions) and my ipad (to show traffic patterns). The ipad also told us where to get cheap gas. . .if it learns to talk, the GPS is history.
We arrived home to COMPANY! Rebecca and Roman came to visit.
Eli and Anna couldn't resist stopping by to see their handsome cousin. . .
Roman.
Oh, sorry, Anna, did you expect souvenirs? Maybe next time!
