When it's Friday, we share our readers' Royal Caribbean cruise photos that were sent in to give everyone reading this post a quick "mental escape" to a Royal Caribbean cruise vacation.  If you have photos you would like to include, be sure to send them in too!

This week's first photo is from Connor De La Pena of Oasis of the Seas' Royal Promenade.  I really think the Oasis-class Royal Promenade is underrated because it gets overshadowed by the other amazing neighborhoods on the ship.

Laura Metzler sent us this photo from Royal Caribbean's private island of Labadee.  She writes, "Exploring Labadee with my talented boyfriend Tim Murphy who captured some amazing shots of the private island's history and natural beauty."

I love this photo of Legend of the Seas docked in Roseau, Dominica by John McCormack.  Stunning photo and I love the colors.

Here is a photo of sunset over Baltimore from the Enchantment of the Seas back in November 2012 by Carol A Cheney.  I never get sick of sunset photos!

You know what else I don't get sick of? Labadee photos! Jill Snyder sent us this photo of Oasis of the Seas docked in Labadee just a few weeks ago in March 2014.

Jill added right after taking this photo she relaxed at a cabana all day long at Nellie's Beach.  Jill, I've never been so jealous!

More Labadee photos, you say?  Here's another photo of Labadee with Explorer of the Seas peeking back in 2012 by Steven Brinkman.  I really think it's impossible to take a bad photo of Labadee.

I don't usually do this but I wanted to include my own photo this week, with me posing with Royal Caribbean CEO Adam Goldstein.  It was such an honor to meet him and talk about Royal Caribbean together.  

I feel like this was another great week of Royal Caribbean photos and I want you to send us your photos too! Use this form to send us your best Royal Caribbean photos and we will include 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.

The first photo this week is from Tom & Diane Trudnowski of sunset while on their Serenade of the Seas cruise out of New Orleans.  Amazing colors!

Kayla sent us this photo of her enjoying the drink of the day in the Pig n Whistle pub on Voyager of the Seas. I think I speak for everyone reading this Kayla when I say I could really, really use the drink of the day right now.

Laura Metzler decided to have her own "Titanic moment" while on Liberty of the Seas when she (and her husband?) decided to re-create this classic Titanic pose. The picturesque sunset in the background was an added bonus.

Jorge C Toache Alcázar sent this photo of what the crew of Allure of the Seas sent him for Valentine's Day.  It looks like the crew choo-choo-choose you to be their valentine!

I love this photo by Steven Brinkman from his Explorer of the Seas cruise.  He wrote, "I made some really close friends on my cruise on the Explorer back in 2012, and we loved hanging out in Cloud Nine because it was always so quiet and relaxed."

We will wrap things up this week with a photo by Brent of CocoCay while on his Majesty of the Seas cruise.  I know earlier I wanted the drink of the day but I'd be willing to trade that for spending the day here instead!

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

Once more it is Friday and once more we are sharing lots of fun Royal Caribbean photos our readers have sent in to us.  Let's get started!

Our first photo this week comes from John Siegmund and it's of tour ships sailing the sunset in Key West, Florida back on February 20, 2014. Great shot!

I really love this photo from Lauren McCrillis of bon voyage cupcakes that she made before going on Liberty of the Seas.  Great idea and further proof funfetti makes everything better.

This beautiful photo of Voyager of the Seas' sports deck while on a 14-night cruise around New Zealand looks amazing.  The colors are so vivid and sunsets at sea are the best.

Alejandro sent us this photo of his souvenir scale models that he bought on his cruises.  In this picture there is Allure of the Seas, Freedom of the Seas, Liberty of the Seas, Serenade of the Seas & Brilliance of the Seas.

Kayla's photo of Jackson Square in New Orleans and she writes, "Jackson Square in New Orleans, where we got on the Voyager of the Seas for her Western Caribbean Itinerary. Fell in love with that city and cant wait to go back!"

The photo that wins the "Matt wishes he was most at right now" award goes to this photo of CocoCay by Michael Poole.  Looks perfect!

This week's photos were great but we want more of your Royal Caribbean photos, so please use this form to send us your favorite Royal Caribbean photos so we can share them on the blog!

Happy Friday to everyone and because it's almost the weekend, that means it is time to share with all of you some great Royal Caribbean photos our readers sent to us.

Our first photo is from Stefan, who took this photo on Liberty of the Seas back on February 21, 2014 as they were very close to Cuba and the bird decided to rest on the railing.  Amazing colors!

Here's a photo by Regina Lee simply titled "enjoying the casino".  

Here's a photo by Ryan Feuerstein of Legend of the Seas docked in Antigua back on February 21, 2014.  That's a big ship!

François St-Onge sent in this photo of his view from his "hump" balcony on Explorer of the Seas.  It's a great room!

Our next photo is from John McCormack and it's of a 17th century canon taking aim at the cruise port in St. Maarten. John says, "If you want to avoid the tourist crush in Philisburg, take a bike tour to see some of the history of the island."

It just wouldn't be a Friday Photos blog post without a photo from Kayla, who sent in this one of her last night of her Alaskan cruise on Rhapsody of the Seas.  The photo is of Myra, her assistant waiter in the main dining room.  

Kalya writes, "She told us about her culture, all the places she has visited and about her life on board for months at a time. These crew members aren't just had working individuals, they are also relatable and caring. We exchanged emails and Myra and I are still in touch to this day! WE LOVE YOU MYRA! :)"

Thank you to everyone who sent in these great photos!  If you have a Royal Caribbean vaction photo to share, send yours in too and we may feature it right here on the blog!

It's Friday and that means it is time to share with all of you the great Royal Caribbean photos our readers have sent us to showcase.  Each week we ask our readers to send us their favorite Royal Caribbean cruise photos to share with everyone, so let's see what we have this week.

Our first photo comes from Kayla and it's from her balcony on Radiance of the Seas.  Gotta love days that involve a view like this!

Nancy Geiger sent this photo of a group of friends that went on Navigator of the Seas last spring out of Rome.  Her opinion? "Best. Trip. Ever."

This photo is from Michael Poole from Navigator of the Seas in March 2013 and he writes, "If you ever get a chance to sail on a voyager class ship you can access the helicopter pad from deck 4.  

Funny story about this picture…  Once you get up to the helipad at night its pitch dark and you cannot see a thing.  I took a picture with my flash on and headed back to the room.  Once I finally looked at my picture, you can see I was not up there alone!  I had no idea anyone was up there with me."

Here's a photo of Allure of the Seas while in the Bahamas back in 2011 sent to us by Bill Brown.  Quite a collection of ships!

Gerard Lefebvre sent us this photo from San Juan of the bridge of his ship. Great shot!

Lastly, here's a photo by Steven B. that he took in 2012 on Explorer of the Seas somewhere in the Eastern Caribbean. Love it!

Thank you to everyone who sent photos in this week.  Be sure to send us your Royal Caribbean photos too so we can include them in upcoming Friday Photos posts.

We love sharing Royal Caribbean photos with all of our readers and so each week we ask our readers to send us their favorite Royal Caribbean cruise photos to be featured right here on the blog!

Our first photo comes from Kayla (who loves to send us photos of her husband) from her Radiance of the Seas cruise, which was her first cruise and she credits that cruise for making her an avid cruising fan.

Speaking of husbands at a balcony, Kathy Geiger sent us this photo of her husband, John Geiger, on the balcony of his cabin on the Navigator of the Sewas last spring while docking in Turkey.

Michael Poole sent in this photo of Freedom of the Seas while they sailed away from Falmouth, Jamaica in March 2013. Ya mon!

Paulette and Lee Herron sent us this photo of yoga on the beach at Cococay.  They mentioned, "Wonderful excursion from Freedom of the Seas!"  I'd contort myself into a pretzel right now if that meant I could be on CocoCay too!

Next we have a photo from Woodrow Herron with the Captain of Freedom of the Seas. They write, "First time we felt really, really little. He gave us a great cruise!"

Lastly, we have this photo from Connor De La Pena, who included no description so I'm guessing this is on a Royal Caribbean cruise taken before today.  You don't get to write blogs without being this smart!

Is your Royal Caribbean photo not here? Well, send us your favorite Royal Caribbean photos and we will include them in a future Friday Photos post!

If it's Friday, that means it is time to share some more awesome photos our readers have sent in of their Royal Caribbean cruise vacations!  As always, we want your photos too, so send us your best Royal Caribbean photos so we can share it with the world.

Our first photo this week is from Neil Davies and it's of Liberty of the Seas and Vision of the Seas in St. Maarten.  Quite a difference in size!

Next is this photo from Glenn Wildenmann taken aboard Independence of the Seas in December 2012.  The ship you're seeing is actually a Celebrity ship.  Glenn notes that him, his wife and four daughters are scheduled to sail December 2014 on Allure of the Seas.  Have a great time Glenn!

This photo is from johnpaulla and he writes, "10,000 lbs…that's what the weight on the ground said…not of my wife after a week of feasting on the Mariner of the Seas over the New Year cruise, but of the helicopter allowed on the pad."

Ken sent us this photo of his "shrine for his passion". The 3 pictures on the wall are of the Mariner of the sea from right to left Anchored in Cabo San Lucas docked in Cozumel and docked in Puerto Vallarta.  Great idea Ken!

Here's a photo of the Royal Promenade on Liberty of the Seas, sent to us by Capt. John.  Looks like there's a table waiting for me at the pub!

Our last photo is from Kayla when she was watching the famous cliff divers in Acapulco, Mexico.  Beautiful (and scary)!

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 Friday and naturally we are sharing fun Royal Caribbean photos that our readers sent in.  In fact, every week we ask our readers to send us their best Royal Caribbean photos to share with everyone!

Our first photo this week comes from Don Donahue, who took this photo of a Cruise Critic cabin crawl while on Brilliance of the Seas. A cabin crawl is when everyone in the group allows others in the group to come see their cabins so people can get a sense of the differences.  

Next we have a photo from Kayla of her husband on Radiance of the Seas enjoying a beer while playing mini golf.  If this isn't relaxing then I don't know what is.

Here's a photo from Phil Catarella of Radiance of the Seas anchored in Moorea, French Polynesia.  I'd love to take a Royal Caribbean cruise like this to be able to visit the south Pacific!

How about a perfect pool day on Adventure of the Seas?  Neil Davies sent us this photo from his trans-Atlantic cruise and it looks lovely!

Chris Davis sent us this photo of Explorer of the Seas, as seen from the top of the Empire State Building in January 2014.  Great view (and zoom lens)!

Lastly we have Enchantment of the Seas coming into port at 6:30 the morning of January 10th. Kelly Tarman sent us this photo and she writes, "It was our kids first cruise and they were very excited to board her just a few short hours later, so we drove to the pier to capture her arrival into Port Canaveral."  Love that excitement Kelly!

Is your photo missing from here?  Well, send all your Royal Caribbean photos in right now and we can use it for upcoming Friday Photo blog posts! 

If it's Friday, then that means it's time to share some great Royal Caribbean photos that our readers sent in.  Each week we invite our readers to send us their best Royal Caribbean photos and we will post them here for all to enjoy.

Our first photo this week comes from Kayla and was taken at the Tulum Mayan Ruins in April 2012 on Voyager of the Seas.  I think I speak for all of our readers Kayla when I say we all wish we could be somewhere with that view and ocean color right now!

This photo is from Bryce Griffler and I'm sure it was a proud moment for him when he got his Platinum Crown and Anchor Society pin while on Majesty of the Seas.  Congratulations Bryce and enjoy that balcony discount!

Corry sent us this photo of him and his boys in Amalfi, Italy while on the Seranade of the Seas for 12 days. Corry says it was a "trip of a lifetime."

Michael Ryan sent is this photo of his granddaughter from her fist cruise on Allure of the Seas while walking on the pier in St Martin.  What a cutie!

Let's get right into this week's batch of photos!

Our first photo this week is from Corry E, who sent us this photo from his Oasis of the Seas cruise to St. Maarten.  I have to say that St. Maarten is one of my favorite islands and it looks like Corry and Mrs. Corry had a great time there!

Next is a photo from Kayla, who writes, "This was at a beach break excursion in Falmouth, Jamaica when we were on Voyager of the Seas. The beach and the authentic jerk chicken lunch was amazing!"

I love having authentic food when I'm visiting a port and it's hard to beat good food and a beautiful beach.  Ya mon!

This photo is from Bryce Griffler, taken during his Majesty of the Seas cruise while snorkeling at CocoCay.  Bryce has mastered the art of fitting in with the fish.

Harry Yerikyan sent us this photo from the Royal Promenade on Allure of the Seas.  I've always enjoyed seeing a different classic car on the Royal Promenade on each ship.  Thanks Harry!

Our last photo comes from Tom & Diane Trudnowski of Freedom of the Seas tied up.  Today sure sounds perfect for a port day!
