Happy Friday and welcome to the beginning of what I hope is another wonderful weekend for everyone.  To kick off our Friday, we like to showcase Royal Caribbean photos that our readers have sent in so that we can all enjoy some great looking photos of our favorite floating spots!

You can send us your best Royal Caribbean photos so we can share those too!

We will begin things with a shot of the FlowRider in Sydney, while Explorer of the Seas was docked there. Shawn Crossley sent in this photo and wonders if this is one of the best backdrops in the world?

Jenna sent us this photo as her Allure of the Seas cruise was pulling away from Nassau. The view of the edge of the island and the sparkling water was beautiful!

Here is a photo by Jan-Arild Knutsen of Captain Marek Slaby on Vision of the Seas on his "way" to the pool to join the officers team in a Waterpolo game against passengers. Game on!

Sticking with people in the air, here is a photo by Courtney going down the zipline on Labadee! I can tell you from personal experience, this is such a thrill!

Here is a little serenity, with Susan Widdowson's photo of a calm ocean while on the second week of their cruise.  Looks perfect out there!

Next up is a shot of Quantum of the Seas arriving in San Juan, Puerto Rico by Ken Slusser.  It is always fun seeing another Royal Caribbean ship pull into port.

We will round things out with a shot of Buenos Aires sailaway on Rhapsody of the Seas by Dave Rimington.  I love sailaways that allow views like this!

Thank you to everyone that shared these great photos.  Do you want your photo included in our weekly photo showcase?  Use this form to send us your favorite Royal Caribbean photos and we will be sure to show it off to the world!

Happy Friday! Each week we invite everyone reading to submit your favorite Royal Caribbean cruise photos, so that we can share them right here on the blog!

Here are some photos that we have to share this week!

We will start things off with this photo of Allure of the Seas in Cozumel, by Dave Rimington.  Great colors!

In our next photo, we are getting up close and personal with Anthem of the Seas.  Denny C sent this photo from a recent cruise, where he "enjoyed every minute" of the experience.

I love a good sunset at sea photo, and we have one from Susan Widdowson.  Susan took this photo on Independence of the Seas, back in September.  Beautiful!

Speaking of Independence of the Seas, Ken Slusser shared this photo of the Royal Promenade lit up for evening activities during his recent March 2015 cruise. Love that Royal Promenade!

Check out this photo of Jewel of the Seas' Captain Thore Thorolvsen dancing during the "Flag Parade" event.  Jan-Arild Knutsen says the Captain was dancing a Norwegian folkdance, "HALLING".  Bra jobba!

Here is a great shot of Central Park at night on Allure of the Seas, by Sebastian Söderström.  After seeing this view every evening last week, I can tell you it is even more beautiful in person!

We will wrap up this week's photos with this one of Anthem of the Seas in Labadee, by Matthew Hull.  Two of my favorite places in one photo!

Thanks to everyone who sent in their photos this week. Have a great weekend and be sure to send us your photos so we can post them next week by using this form.

We love sharing Royal Caribbean photos that our readers took on their cruise vacations, so each week we ask everyone reading this to send us your best, favorite and fun Royal Caribbean photos to share with the world.

This is our weekly fun opportunity to show off these really well taken shots and give everyone else a "quick fix" of a Royal Caribbean vacation.

Let's take a look at this week's batch of photos!

Let's start things off by going to South America with a photo by Dave Rimington of Rhapsody of the Seas arriving in Punta del Este, Uruguay.  Bueno!

Next up is a great view of Labadee, as seen by Matthew Hull from his stateroom.  I would never get tired of this view!

No Friday Photos is complete without a sunset photo (or at least I hope there is at least one), and here is Independence of the Seas docked in Port Everglades by Michael.  Beautiful!

April E sent us this photo and said, "Can you guess which ship this photo was taken on? This is one of my favorite cruise photos!"

We will round things out this week with this photo by Rich Triplett of an early morning view from their aft balcony on Radiance of the Seas looking back as Jewel of the Seas comes into Skagway, Alaska.

Our first photo is from Murray, and it is of his nephew Kameron giving Explorer of the Seas an Australian welcome on her first port of call in Fremantle.  Gorgeous colors!

Check out this shot of Rhapsody of the Seas at Buzios in Rio de Janiero, Brazil by Renato Rossini.  Interesting contrast between this major cruise ship and the smaller vessels in the foreground.

Zoltán Marton sent us this photo of Serenade of the Seas that his brother sent him.  His brother works on Serenade of the Seas as an assistant waiter.  This photo is from Sydney, Canada, which is located in Nova Scotia.

Here is a fun photo from Dave Rimington of the FlowRider on Navigator of the Seas.  Great form!

Lastly, we have this photo by Denny Allen of him and his wife being prepped for their Labadee zip line excursion.  From personal experience, I can tell you all that this is a lot of fun!

The photos we have to show this week are fun and of course anyone can send us their Royal Caribbean photos to use as well!

Our first photo this week is from G.Spindler and it is entitled, "I have a dream...".  Right now, my dream is to be in that kind of a scenario!

Here is a neat photo by Dave Rimington of the reflections of Cozumel, as seen on Allure of the Seas.  Very original photo!

We are going down under for our next photo. It is from Mike and it is of Voyager of the Seas, as seen from the Taronga Zoo in Sydney.  What a beautiful city to sail from!

Denny Allen sent this great photo from Labadee, and to him, it just says, "I'm on vacation."  I love that feeling!

Let us wrap up this week's photos with one more from Labadee. Shannon F sent us this photo of an early morning shot pulling into Labadee, while on Liberty of the Seas.  Can't beat those colors!

Our first photo is from G.Spindler and it is of a beautiful sunset while at sea.  Looks perfect to me!

Speaking of beautiful, is this shot of Independence of the Seas by Shannon F in St. Maarten.  The water color and sky really look great!

Dave Rimington shared this photo of the Dubai skyline, as seen from Splendour of the Seas.  Love the contrast.

Denny sent us this photo from his stingray encounter from Grand Cayman.  Beautiful water color and that certainly looks like a close encounter to me!

Our first photo is from G. Spindler and it's of the Aquashow, "Oasis of Dreams" on Oasis of the Seas and this was taken from the top of the FlowRider.  Amazing vantage point!

We are going wide angle with this photo of Allure of the Seas docked in Cozumel, by Mary.  Great ship in a great port!

Here's a photo by JohnPC of the Royal Promenade on Liberty of the Seas, as seen on her last sailing prior to drydock.  Can't wait to see what this ship offers when she returns to service!

This photo by Gary Walker features two of my favorite things: a sunset and Freedom of the Seas.  Beautiful photo!

Rounding things out this week is a photo by Missey Bartels from Vision of the Seas of her and some friends enjoying a drink before heading to shore.  Sounds like a great plan!

To me, this weekly feature is an opportunity to enjoy a quick "mental escape" to a Royal Caribbean cruise vacation.  Let's get started with this week's batch!

Our first photo this week is from Michael Brady and it is of Radiance of the Seas anchored off Mystery Island in the South Pacific from January 2016.  I could use this kind of a cruise right about now!

Here is a classic shot of Oasis of the Seas' Boardwalk and Aqua Theater by Shawn Crossley.  It does not matter how many times I see this angle, it never gets old.

Here are Mitch and Donna Smith posing for a photo on the Centrum of Radiance of the Seas.  Photos always come out great when the Centrum is your backdrop.

Let's hop in the Solarium hot tub with this photo by Robert Carpenter from Voyager of the Seas when the ship was in Beijing (Port of Tianjin).  This is the kind of scene I imagine when I need a mental escape.

Rounding out this week's photos is this photo of the view from Anthem of the Seas of New York City, by Frederic.  It's a wonderful town!

Here is a fun photo by Frederic of Santa and his elves arriving to Anthem of the Seas, via the North Star. Santa knows how to arrive in style!

Kalya submitted this shot of Enchantment of the Seas as seen from Coco Cay on a beautiful and cloudless day.  Sign me up for this kind of weather!

Here is a great shot of "twin sisters", Freedom of the Seas and Liberty of the Seas, in Cozumel, by James Carruthers.  Hard to go wrong with those Freedom class ships.

Here is a great early morning photo from Nick Vitani of Enchantment of the Seas.  The colors you get around dawn are hard to beat.
