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.

Royal Caribbean will hold a conference call on January 29, 2015 at 10am to discuss its fourth quarter 2015 financial results.

The call will be available on-line at the company's investor relations web site, www.rclinvestor.com. To listen to the call by phone, please dial (877) 663-9606 in the US and Canada. International phone calls should be made to (706) 758-4628. There is no passcode or meeting number. A replay of the webcast will be available at the same site for a month following the call.

Last night Royal Caribbean rolled out new menus to four of its complimentary restaurants onboard.

Reports from cruisers aboard Quantum of the Seas this week say that new menus debuted at Chic, The Grande, Silk and American Icon Grill.

There's speculation that these menu changes are part of a new effort to improve the Dynamic Dining experience overall.  Just last week Royal Caribbean dropped the cover charge at Devinly Decadence to add more complimentary restaurant capacity.

Royal Caribbean is almost done with Freedom of the Seas refurbishment and that means a lot of changes are coming to the ship.  After receving lots of questions related to how where the changes are onboard the ship, we've compiled a list of the changes coming visually.
