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.

No Friday Photos is complete without a good sunset photo (or five) and we begin this week with sunset from the pool deck of Quantum of the Seas by John Siegmund.  Love it!

Next is this photo by Lily Lee of the Ice on the Big Top show on Mariner of the Seas.  The ice shows presented across Royal Caribbean's fleet are always entertaining!

Talk about a perfect view! Here's a photo by Ross and Pam from their Voyager of the Seas Singapore to Sydney cruise.  It doesn't get much better than that!

Check out this panoramic photo of Quantum of the Seas in St. Barts with a couple other cruise ships by John McCormack!

Lastly, we have this photo by Gary Kronick of Quantum of the Seas docked in St. Maarten.  Great vantage point!

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

The best part about Friday (aside from the impending weekend) is sharing great Royal Caribbean photos that our readers have sent in with all of you. Each week we ask everyone reading this to send us your best, favorite and fun Royal Caribbean photos to share with the world.

First up this week is a photo of Brilliance of the Seas at Grand Cayman by Francois St-Onge.  Francois said this was the hottest day he's ever experienced.  That doesn't surprise me considering there's a place on Grand Caymen called Hell!

Next is a panoramic photo by Lily Lee of Singapore from Mariner of the Seas.  Great view!

Let's move from Singapore to Australia with this photo by Ross and Pam of Voyager of the Seas being welcomed "home" for the Aussie summer.

 Let's keep the international theme going with this photo by Kevin Van Ruyteghem of Independence of the Seas in Flam during her Norwegian fjords cruise last year.  Check out the reflection in the water! I think we have a nomination for photo of the year!

Lastly, we have this shot of Quantum of the Seas in San Juan by Lucille Mackie.  Nothing like peeking over some trees to see this beauty in the distance!

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.

Welcome back to this week's edition of Friday Photos, our weekly showcase of beautiful Royal Caribbean photos our readers have sent to us to be featured.  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!

Let's begin with a photo from Tom and Diane Trudnowski of Navigator of the Seas enjoying some sun.  Love the lens flare!

Next is this photo by Francois St-Onge of a 15-second night shot on Brilliance of the Seas.  I love taking night photos on ships and when you can leave the shutter open for a while, you really get some nice colors!

I think we all can relate to this photo by Jennifer Silverman, when she jumped for joy to be on vacation.  Amen sister!

If I kept track of my favorite photos, this would be near the top.  An anonymous reader sent in this great beautiful sunset photo from Mariner of the Seas.  I can never get enough sunset photos!

Speaking of sunsets, here's another by John Siegmund from inside Two70 on Quantum of the Seas.  It was taken on her inaugural voyage and it's a heck of a place to enjoy a sunset from!

hank 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.

Speaking of two ships, here's a great one of Navigator of the Seas next to Allure of the Seas by Scott Stoeckle.  Two beautiful ships!

You want more ship groupings? Here's one by Francois St-Onge of six ships in Cozumel.

Next is a photo by Jennifer Silverman taking a formal night selfie in Central Park.  Looking good ladies!

We will round things out with this photo by John Siegmund of Quantum of the Seas in Nassau, Bahamas during her inaugural 8-night cruise from Cape Liberty.

First up this week is a photo by Don Donahue of Vision of the Seas while in Roatan, Honduras.  I could go for some Roatan weather right about now.

Since I am a sucker for sunset photos, I have to include this one by Michael Poole on Enchantment of the Seas.  Great colors!

Next is a photo by Francois St-Onge and he writes, "a good companion for a day at sea".

  Here's a great shot of Allure of the Seas and Navigator of the Seas docked side-by-side in Cozumel by Marc and Lisa Sandhaus.  Two giants!

Lastly we have this photo by Garry Flaws from the inaugural voyage of Quantum of the Seas.  Seeing this photo is getting me even more excited to go on her in just a couple of months!

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 comes from Michael Poole and it's of Enchantment of the Seas docked in Nassau back in October 2014.  Love the contrast of colors!

Next up is this photo by Paul Westbrook of Freedom of the Seas "hallway art".  I dare you not to always stop and rotate that lever!

In this photo by John Siegmund off Key West you have a beautiful sunset, a helicopter, bi-plane and schooner.  Not bad!

I really love this shot by Peyton Buhler of Voyager of the Seas in Sydney harbor.  Great perspective!

Here's a photo by Chris Davis onboard his Oasis of the Seas transatlantic cruise.  I firmly believe there are no bad photos of Central Park at night and this one proves my point.

This photo by Barry Rupp is called "Valley of Cruise Ships" and it totally makes sense.  It was taken in St. Maarten with Adventure of the Seas docked alongside Explorer of the Seas.

Let's kick things off this week with a photo of a beautiful day on Royal Caribbean's private island of Coco Cay by Michael Poole.  Sign me up for someone who wishes to be there right now!

Here's a great family photo by Carol Johns from their 45th wedding anniversary cruise on Allure of the Seas.  Cruising with family is always a lot of fun!

Paul Westbrook sent in this photo of the art he found in the hallway on the way to his stateroom aboard Freedom of the Seas.

Here we have sunrise on Quantum of the Seas by Catherine Elgie-Peters.  I love how the sun is shining right into the North Star!

We will round things out with this photo of a full moon over Majesty of the Seas by John Siegmund.  Great shot!

We begin with this photo by Ken Slusser of Mariner of the Seas docked alongside Allure of the Seas in Cozumel back in 2013.  Two beautiful ships!

Michael Poole sent in this photo of Enchantment of the Seas and she looks just as good as the day she entered service!

Carol Jahns sent us this photo of her grandson, Tucker, while on their Allure of the Seas cruise. Tucker liked the cruise so much they had to take him back on Oasis of the Seas the following year.

Here's a photo by Paul Westbrook of Cafe Promenade, which I always feel is a great choice to stop in and see what they're offering.

Lastly, we have our first Quantum of the Seas photo to make the Friday Photos!  It's from Catherine Elgie-Peters and it's of sunset aboard this brand new ship. Love it!

First up this week is a photo by Ken Slusser of the view he had from his balcony on Allure of the Seas. Now that is a great suite!

I really like this photo by John Siegmund of Legend of the Seas docked in Saguenay, Quebec, Canada earlier this year.  That water reflection and calmness is amazing!

Here's a sunset photo by Steve Lebkuecher from Navigator of the Seas while taking a stroll on Deck 12 after dinner at Chops.  Is it possible for an evening to be better than that?

Here's a great photo of Larry and Marcia McGraw from an Explorer of the Seas cruise back in 2002 when they visited Labadee.  I can almost taste the Labadoozies!

Our friend Michael Poole has gone artsy with this photo of Enchantment of the Seas.  I'm no art ciritc but I'm pretty sure if it's got a Royal Caribbean ship in it, it's a work of art.

We begin this week with a photo by Ken Slusser of an aft view from the port side bridge wing during his All Access Tour on ALlure of the Seas.  Must be nice to have this be your "office".

Here's another tour photo, this one by Phil Catarella of appetizers being prepared on Allure of the Seas during his galley tour.  Is it wrong for me to "test" the food being prepared? You know...for safety.

Here's a timely shot of the fall foliage along the coast of Quebec, Canada during John Siegmund's Legend of the Seas cruise this year.  Beautiful!

Mary sent us this photo of Radiance of the Seas docked in Vancouver and ready to go.  Looks like the perfect way to see Alaska!

Lastly, here's a photo by Paul Jordan of Navigator of the Seas in Cozumel.  Yo quiero un Navigator of the Seas crucero!
