Welcome back to Friday Photos, our weekly showcase of Royal Caribbean photos that were taken by readers of this blog.  

Every week, we ask our readers to send us their best Royal Caribbean vacation photos to be considered for this post and you're welcome to send yours in as well. We'd love to feature photos of the ships, excursions, activities onboard and anything else that reminds you of a great time while sailing with Royal Caribbean.

So without further adieu, here is this week's batch of photos.

First up is this photo of sunrise at Royal Caribbean's private island of Labadee by Jeff Poole.  Yup, looks like paradise!

Here's another sunrise photo, this one taken by Tom and Diane Trudnowski of sunrise while headed to Key West, Florida.  I never get sick of these sun rise or sunset photos!

Next up is a photo of Anthem of the Seas by Neil Barnes on her first day in Southampton.  She's a beauty and I can't wait to sail aboard Anthem sometime soon!

Here we have a clear sunset photo from Quantum of the Seas taken by Kim Olsen.  Looks gorgeous, doesn't it?

Last, but not least, we have a photo by Keith Davis of a "sand man" that his daugher created in Megan's Bay.  What a neat idea!

Thanks to everyone who sent in their photos this week.  Be sure to send your photos in as well by using this form.

We love to share the amazing Royal Caribbean photos our readers have sent us each and every week for Friday Photos.  Basically, it's a showcase of the best Royal Caribbean photos from our readers and this week's batch looks to be the best yet.

If you have photos that you would like included in an upcoming Friday Photos blog post, then please send us your best Royal Caribbean photos!

First up this week is a photo by Keith Davis from Jewel of the Seas.  The great thing about the Radiance class of ships is the views you get of the ocean from all over the ship!

Next is a photo of the Starwater preshow by Kim Olsen on Quantum of the Seas.  Starwater is an amazing spectacle and I can't wait to see it again!

Patrick Kortendick sent us this photo of Independence of the Seas in Labadee.  Even on a cloudy day, Labadee is still paradise!

Here's another photo from Quantum of the Seas, and this is one is by Victor Sacal of Roboshow.  Those robot displays are very impressive.

There's no such thing as too many photos from Labadee, so here's one by Harry Yerikyan of Oasis of the Seas in Labadee.  Looks like a much brighter day!

Thank you 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.

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!

We will kick things off this week with a photo with a photo by Tom & Diane Trudnowski of Navigator of the Seas.  Navigator has become one of my favorite ships and I'd love to get back onboard.

Let's go around the world for our next photo! It's from Ross and Pam of Voyager of the Seas in Suva, Fiji.  What a great perspective!

Next we have a photo of the lighthouse you can see as your Royal Caribbean ship comes into or leaves Nassau, Bahamas by Michael Poole.  Love the water color!

Here's a photo of the ship I'll be boarding tomorrow (not that I'm super excited or anything), it's Quantum of the Seas by Kris Jackson.  Here, she's in Labadee and it looks like another day in paradise!

Jorge Toache sent us this photo of a snow covered Quantum of the Seas.  I'm hoping this will not be how the ship will look when I get onboard!

This photo comes to us by Michael Poole and it's of his favorite ship, Enchantment of the Seas.   She's docked in Nassau, Bahamas and I could go for a fun Bahamas cruise right about now!

I love this photo by Matthew Hull of Quantum of the Seas in Labadee.  Great perspective!

The weekend is here and that means it's time to share your Royal Caribbean photos!  Each week we invite our readers to share their favorite Royal Caribbean photos with all of us, so here we go!

Our first photo this week comes from Sean McLellan and it's a size comparison between a number of ships and Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas.  I think we have a winner!

Next, is this great shot of Royal Caribbean's Crown and Anchor logo from Liberty of the Seas by Blake Baldwin.  Great shot!

We're going a couple hundred feet in the air for our next photo. It's Quantum of the Seas as seen from North Star, by Paquot.  These North Star photos never get old!

Check out the color of the sky in this photo by Matteo of a Royal Caribbean ship sailing away from Allure of the Seas while in Cozumel.  Not sure what ship it is, but the pastel colors in the sky are beautiful.

This photo looks like it should be on a postcard.  It's by THorsten of Blue Lagoon Beach Break in the Bahamas from his Oasis of the Seas cruise.  Love it!

Our last photo this week is from Paul Jordan on Radiance of the Seas from the Champagne Bar, sailing from Newcastle to Hobart.  Sunset and a drink on a Royal Caribbean cruise is the definition of perfection!

I think this was a great collection of photos this week and of course we want to see your photos too!  Use this form to send us your best Royal Caribbean photos and we will feature them in an upcoming blog post!

Friday is here and before you start your weekend, let's take a look at some fun Royal Caribbean photos that our readers sent in to be showcased.  Just like you, we love looking at Royal Caribbean photos to get a "quick fix" when it comes to the "I'm not on a cruise" blues.

First up this week is a photo of Liberty of the Seas in Labadee by John Siegmund.  I would love to trade these single digit temperatures I'm experiencing for a little Labadee time!

Next let's move to another part of the Caribbean with a photo of Freedom of the Seas in St. Thomas by Ken Slusser. Ken notes, "The Captain performed a really cool maneuver to spin the ship and back into the last remaining spot on the pier. I later asked him about the reason for parking that way and he replied that he likes to point to the open sea where possible in case they need to get out of port in a hurry."

Here's a fun photo by Victor Sacal from Two70 with the ROBOSCREENS deployed.  What a fun venue!

Check out this great photo by Sean McLellan of Freedom of the Seas in St. Thomas in the evening.  I love the colors and contrast!

Here's a great sunset photo by Spencer Goad from Freedom of the Seas.  What a beautiful shot of the sunset!

We wrap things up with this photo by Blake Baldwin from Liberty of the Seas at night.  There's nothing better than a nice evening stroll on the pool deck on Royal Caribbean's ships.

Do you have fun Royal Caribbean photos to share?  Send us your favorite photos and we will feature them on an upcoming blog post!

Welcome to this week's edition of Friday Photos, where we share our readers' Royal Caribbean photos with all of you.  

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!

Starting things off this week is a photo by John McCormack of Quantum of the Seas next to Celebrity Constellation in St. Maarten.  Quite a difference in ships!

Next is a photo of sunset over Labadee by John Siegmund.  As we all know, I am a sucker for sunset photos (and Labadee photos) so this is really great!

Here's a photo by RoyalCaribbeanBlog contributor Michael Poole of Majesty of the Seas docked in Nassau, Bahamas.  Sadly, there will not be many more opportunities to see her once she is retired from the fleet next year.

We have another sunset photo this week, this is from Ken Slusser from Independence of the Seas.  Great shot Ken!

Check out this photo from Frank Battiston of the crew preparing on the morning of New Years Eve festivities on Adventure of the Seas.

Victor Sacal sent in this photo from Quantum of the Seas and it looks like it's from embarkation day, also known as the happiest day ever!

Thank you 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.

It's pretty cold out there in many places but we've got some Royal Caribbean photos our readers have sent in to warm you up.  In fact, each week we ask our readers to send us their best Royal Caribbean photos to showcase right here on the blog so be sure to send yours in too!

Let's see what we have this week.

First up this week is a photo of Mariner of the Seas in the background while Lily Lee was at Pataong Beach in Phuket, Thailand.  I love the contrast of boats in this photo!

Next we have the revitalized Voyager of the Seas from her Singapore to Sydney cruise by Ross and Pam.  That sounds like a great repositioning cruise!

Check out this action shot of the RipCord on Quantum of the Seas by John McCormack.  I can't wait to try this out for myself!

Here we have a photo by blog contributor Michael Poole of the view Enchantment of the Seas offers as she pulls into Nassau.  Looks like another beautiful day in the Bahamas!

Here's a shot of Brilliance of the Seas docked in Tampa by Don Donahue.  Tampa is an underrated port to take a Royal Caribbean cruise from and Brilliance is a wonderful ship!

Ken Slusser knows the way to my heart with this photo of sunset aboard Independence of the Seas.  Can't get enough sunset photos!
