Above and below: Informal pictures of me and Mark taken by a ship photographer on the Norwegian Sun on November 11, 2007.
In November 2007, Mark and I went on our first cruise together, on the Norwegian Sun. We'd been invited by Mark's best friend, Tom Utter, and his wife Susan, to join them on this week-long Caribbean cruise out of Miami. We boarded on November 10, 2007, and Sunday, November 11, was a day at sea (no port calls).
I kept a journal on this vacation - here's an excerpt of what I wrote that day that helped me put a date on these photos:
At 6 PM we met Tom and Susan for dinner in the Four Seasons restaurant on Atlantic Deck 5. This was dress-up night, so Mark wore his sports jacket and tie, and I was in a skirt. We had lobster with zucchini and risotto; a pumpkin, ginger, and crab bisque for an appetizer; and shared three desserts - honey crème brûlée with a chocolate ganache bottom, a chocolate mousse (supposedly "light") with a vanilla sauce, and an apple streusel pie with pecan ice cream topping. Yummy!
The ship photographers roamed the main dining areas, particularly on dress-up nights (which were typically on at-sea days), taking informal photos - so lighting wasn't ideal.
