Welcome to this week's edition of Friday Photos, where we showcase our readers favorite Royal Caribbean photos.  If we all cannot be on a Royal Caribbean cruise at the moment, then the next best thing is to look at photos of a cruise longingly as a means of getting a "cruise fix."

If you want to submit your photos for a future Friday Photos post, be sure to send them to us via this form.

We begin this week with comparing the size of Allure of the Seas to Empress of the Seas in a photo by David.  Quite the contrast!

Heidi shared this photo her 4 year old son, Miki, waiting for his first (but not last) cruise to the Caribbean on Oasis of the Seas.  Great ship to start a lifetime of cruising fun on!

Check out this photo that Gary Brown sent us of the three Oasis class ships meeting, as seen from his airplane as it was flying into Fort Lauderdale.  What an amazing vantage point!

Renato Rossini shared this photo from the second cruise on Oasis of the Seas through the Eastern Caribbean.  Beautiful shot!

Next is a photo of Susan Crossley in front of a jet ski in Labadee, doing her best anthropomorphic lizard impersonation.

This photo by Ricardo Chevalier combines two of my favorite things: sunsets and Harmony of the Seas!

We round out this week's batch of photos with a shot of Harmony of the Seas by David Donnelly.  Another sunset photo is a great way to end this week's post!

That wraps up this week's edition of Friday Photos. If you want your Royal Caribbean photo featured here, use this form to send them in!

Happy Friday to everyone! When the calendar hits Friday, that means we are sharing our readers favorite Royal Caribbean cruise photos!  

Each week we invite our readers to send us their favorite Royal Caribbean photos and we showcase them all right here!

Our first photo this week is from Cassie Sigmon, and it was taken in St. Maarten, while on an Independence of the Seas cruise. The color of the water in St. Maarten is incredible.

Next is a beautiful photo of Freedom of the Seas in the harbor of St. Thomas, as the sun is starting to set.  It was sent in by Caleb Raper and it is quite a lovely sight.

Here is Rhapsody of the Seas in Venice, Italy, by Adam Callaghan. Royal Caribbean's ships look even more beautiful at night, when they get all lit up.

Emmanuel Mossino sent this photo of Grandeur of the Seas in CocoCay, and it looks like another beautiful day in paradise.

In this photo by Amy Leigh, we have sister ships Freedom of the Seas and Liberty of the Seas docked next to each other in Cozumel. Which is which?

The Rising Tide Bar on Allure of the Seas is featured in this photo by Richard Dreyer. The crew are enjoying a ride, as part of some sort of celebration on the Royal Promenade. Looks like another fun night onboard!

Our last photo this week is from Hannes Scherz, and it is from Harmony of the Seas. This was Hannes' first cruise ever, and I could not think of a better choice to begin cruising on!

We want to share your Royal Caribbean photos too! Send us your favorite, best, most awesome Royal Caribbean cruise photos by using this form and we will feature them in an upcoming Friday Photos blog post!

Every Friday, we show off the Royal Caribbean photos that our readers have sent us in a special blog post.  Each week, we invite our readers to send us their favorite Royal Caribbean photos and we post them right here.

Without further adieu, let's jump right into this week's batch of photos!

We start off this week's edition with a photo by Scott Singer, waiting to see Grease on Independence of the Seas.  It is still amazing to me that Royal Caribbean shows full Broadway shows on its ships!

Julius Lacano took this photo of Grandeur of the Seas, as seen from the top of Cadillac Mountain in Bar Harbor, ME. Incredible view!

Check out this photo of Anthem of the Seas about the pass under the Verrazano Bridge, in New York City by Lauren Ogonowski.  I have done this type of sailing a number of times and it never gets old.

Here is Oasis of the Seas docked in Labadee, as seen by Iuliana Scott. I will never tire of Labadee photos!

Jan-Arild Knutsen sent in this photo of Rhapsody of the Seas in Darwin, Australia.  Those Australia cruises have some really great itineraries to enjoy.

Jennifer H. shared this photo from her excursion in St. Thomas, while aboard Freedom of the Seas. It was a sailing to Buck Island to snorkel with turtles on what looks like a beautiful day in paradise.

Our last photo this week is of Oasis of the Seas and Serenade of the Seas docked in Cozumel.  Frank Battiston shared this photo and it really shows the difference in size between a tonnage of 225,000 and 90,000 when they are side-by-side, like this.

Would you like to submit your Royal Caribbean photos for a future Friday Photos post? Use this form to send them to us and we will feature them very soon!

Friday is here and that means it is time to share our readers' favorite Royal Caribbean photos! Each week, we invite our readers to send us photos from their past Royal Caribbean cruises to be showcased on the blog.

With the weekend nearly upon us, here is this week's batch of fabulous photos!

We begin this week with a photo of Radiance of the Seas in Sydney, Australia by Dave Rimington.  That is a well-composed shot!

Next, is a photo of the Ultimate Abyss on Harmony of the Seas by Hannes Scherz.  This might be the first time the Ultimate Abyss has graced a Friday Photos post, and I hope it is far from the last.

As many of you know, I love sunset photos and this one by Mel E. from Adventure of the Seas is fabulous.  Look at those colors!

How awesome is this photo of Kathy-CruisingKat giving a shoutout to us from Majesty of the Seas? This screen shot is from the Port Canaveral Web Cam, which is run by the PTZtv folks.

Here is Oasis of the Seas and Serenade of the Seas in Cozumel, taken by Emily K.  Two wonderful ships next to each other in a really fun port!

Adam Callaghan took this photo of Rhapsody of the Seas at the beautiful port of Kusadasi, Turkey. Lots of history to explore in that port.

Our final photo this week was taken aboard Adventure of the Seas by Pamela.  The artwork in the Centrum of the Royal Promenade is always quite lovely.

Thank you to everyone for their great photos, and we invite everyone reading to send in their photos too.  Use this form to submit your photos to be included in an upcoming Friday Photos post!

Every Friday we share Royal Caribbean cruise photos that our readers sent in, as a means of showcasing great photography and giving all of us a "virtual break" to enjoy the view of being on a cruise.  If you want to send in your photo, use this form and we could feature it in an upcoming post.

Our first photo is of Independence of the Seas and Grandeur of the Seas docked in Labadee.  This photo was taken by Joe L. while on his honeymoon and it is a beautiful shot!

Here is a photo of the Solarium on Allure of the Seas, by Bob Carpenter.  Bob said this is one of the most relaxing spots on the ship and I can tell you all from experience that Bob is indeed correct!

Next up is this photo of Dickensons Bay in Antigua by Pamela.  That is one really nice looking beach!

Take a look at this photo by Dan of Explorer of the Seas, as seen from the Space Needle in Seattle.  Hard to beat a view like this!

Tara Franz sent this photo of her daughter performing (she is the butterfly) in an Adventure Ocean show onboard Allure of the Seas.  So cute!

Next is a photo of Grandeur of the Seas, as seen from the beautiful sandy shores of CocoCay.  Emmanuel Mossino shared this photo and it instantly put me in the mood for a beach day.

Our last photo this week is from Richard Dreyer of Central Park on Allure of the Seas. This is my favorite neighborhood on Allure of the Seas, and a great look at how large this space really is.

Thank you to everyone that shared their photos with us this week! If you want to share with us your photos, use this form to send them in!

Every Friday, we invite our readers to send in their favorite Royal Caribbean photos so that we can showcase them right here on the blog.  We have a great selection of photos to share this week, but be sure to submit your favorite Royal Caribbean photos too!

Our first photo this week is of Radiance of the Seas by Dave Rimington from Mo'orea, French Polynesia. Look at that landscape!

Next is a photo by Steve Bovee of Oasis of the Seas next to Empress of the Seas in Cozumel.  Quite a striking contrast in ship size!

Here is Independence of the Seas docked in Southampton, by David Donnelly.  Independence is a fan-favorite in the UK and she looks radiant as ever in this photo.

This photo by Linda Stephens was a bit depressing to take, because she took it as her flight home took her right over Independence of the Seas. She had just gotten off Independence of the Seas earlier that morning. That is salt in the wound, Linda.

Bob (aka Sailor_to_Cruiser) took this photo immediately after his back to back Oasis of the Seas cruise to welcome his new grandson.  Mazel tov and it looks like the perfect gift for a newborn!

Here is a photo from Labadee by Brett Oresky of the zip liners in the background going past him.  Just another day in paradise!

Our final photo this week is by Andrew Mack of Anthem of the Seas in Nassau, Bahamas.  Beautiful ship and beautiful water color!

That wraps up this week's edition of Friday Photos. Thank you to everyone who shared photos and be sure to send in your Royal Caribbean photos so that we can share them in an upcoming edition!

Welcome to this week's edition of Friday Photos, where we showcase our readers favorite Royal Caribbean photos.  If we all cannot be on a Royal Caribbean cruise at the moment, then the next best thing is to look at photos of a cruise longingly as a means of getting a "cruise fix."

If you want to submit your photos for a future Friday Photos post, be sure to send them to us via this form.

Our first photo this week is from Julie and it is of Empress of the Seas.  A quick anecdote about Empress of the Seas, Royal Caribbean CEO Michael Bayley mentioned earlier this week that in its internal guest satisfaction surveys, Empress of the Seas scored at the top of the list recently.  It is a fun little ship!

Next, we have a photo of Dan's daughter & son-in-law ice skating on Freedom of the Seas.  Cruising is such a great multi-generational vacation experience and ice skating at sea is just plain fun for everyone!

I absolutely never get sick of sunset photos, and here is one from Vision of the Seas as taken by Krisztina Benko.  Beautiful!

Matt shared this photo of his kids, Matty and Kennedy, in Falmouth while cruising on Liberty of the Seas.  Balloon animals and a cruise on a ship with amazing water slides equals an awesome vacation!

Bill Higgins sent us this photo of the Aqua Theater sign on Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas.  Check out the diver in mid-jump behind the sign!

Todd Raucci sent us this photo from CocoCay, waiting to head back their Royal Caribbean ship.  Looks like another beautiful day in CocoCay!

Our last photo this week is from the behind-the-scenes Culinary Tour on Anthem of the Seas. Lauren Ogonowski sent it in, and this is a shot of where all the bread on the ship is made fresh daily.  Pass me a savory bite!

That wraps up this week's edition of Friday Photos. If you want your Royal Caribbean photo featured here, use this form to send them in!

Happy Friday and welcome to another round of Friday Photos, where we share our readers favorite Royal Caribbean photos on the blog!  If you want to share your photos, just use this form to send them in!

Our first photo is from Kayla (KLA) Gillman of Enchantment of the Seas docked near Empress of the Seas in Nassau. Two classy Royal Caribbean ships!

Alistair Allan shared this photo of he and his family and friends with their waiter, Emily, on board Navigator of the Seas.

Next up is this photo of Oasis of the Seas in San Juan by Robin Woske. Two of my favorite things in one photo, San Juan and Oasis of the Seas!

Kathy Pepperd sent this photo of her and her husband, Dirk, in Cozumel right next to Allure of the Seas.  You get a good sense of how large a ship Allure is with a photo like this.

Gordon Marron and his brother took this photo in front of Ovation of the Seas in Cherbourg and I would be excited if I was on her maiden voyage too!

This photo of Rhapsody of the Seas by Shawn Crossley uses a photography technique known as tilt-shift, and it makes the ship look almost like a toy.  Very cool!

Here is another photo of Empress of the Seas, this time in CocoCay and taken by Krisztina Benko.  Looks like another day in paradise!

Thank you to everyone that submitted their Royal Caribbean photos! If you want to include your photos in a future Friday Photos post, be sure to send them to us!

We love sharing Royal Caribbean photos that our readers send in because they are so much fun to look at.  We want your photos too, so send us your best Royal Caribbean photos to share with the world.

Our first photo this week is by Wayne Gonzales of Jewel of the Seas docked in St. Croix USVI. Love the sunburst! 

Wendy shared a photo from her Western Caribbean evening oboard Allure of the Seas. Evenings are always so lovely when on a cruise.

Next up, is a view of Grandeur of the Seas, through Jack Pine in Bar Harbor, ME, by Julius Lacano. That is quite a vista!

Santana Little sent this photo, taken from another beautiful day on Labadee.  I think everything is better when you're on a floating mat in Labadee, right?

Cake! Jan-Arild Knutsen sent us this photo of Rhapsody of the Seas celebrating her 18th birthday in the South Pacific with Captain Gustavo cutting the cake. 

This photo is from a winter day aboard Quantum of the Seas, by Norman Sutton.  Not exactly what guests had in mind when they booked the cruise (but I bet it melted quickly).

Let's warm things back up with a shot from Jennifer's St. Thomas sailing excursion via Freedom of the Seas.  Fantastic view!

If we didn't include your photo this week, then that means you need to send it in to us for use on a future Friday Photos post.  We want to see your favorite Royal Caribbean cruise photos and you can use this form to send them to us.

This week's batch of beautiful Royal Caribbean photos is here and it's always fun to share with all of you the great photos our readers take while on their cruise vacation.

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 of Jewel of the Seas in St. Croix next to the Celebrity Summit by Wayne Gonzales.  Two ships with a lot of history to them.

Kristina Johnson sent us this photo of Empress of the Seas' Cruise Director and claims he is the best Cruise Director ever! Do you agree?

Kathleen Lewis sent in this photo of Freedom of the Seas, as seen from the the Labadee zip line platform. Kathleen took her daughter on this, and you cannot beat this kind of a view!

In this photo, we have Rhapsody of the Seas hiding behind the beautiful town of Fira in Santorini, Greece by Kelly Bratton. I believe it is a local law that all photos taken in Santorini have to be beautiful.

Scott Singer shared with us this photo of his son, who made friends with the servers there because he liked it so much and even learned the dance!

Dave Rimington send in this photo of Rhapsody of the Seas at Kotor, Montenegro.  Hard to beat that kind of scenery. Great photo!

Lastly, we have this photo by Wendy Hoggarth of her daughter at the port in Gibraltar, following a stop aboard Navigator of the Seas.  Love Navigator of the Seas and looks like a perfect day for a visit!
