Over the holidays we jumped on a last-minute cruise of the Carribean. Living in Florida, these kinds of things are easy to do, just find a cheap ticket and drive to the port. The ship was Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas, which is one of the worlds largest. We've sailed on a couple of her sister ships, so we already had a good feel for the layout. I took a few photos that are of a more abstract nature than typical holiday snapshots. (3 of 7) We departed Falmouth, Jamacia in the evening after a very windy day. All day long I wondered how the captain would pull out in such conditions, but as the sun fell so did the wind, and we departed quite easily. I created this long exposure as the ship slowly moved past the dock. The jiggling of the light trails was from my unsteady hand as I held the camera (not necessarily from the Jamaican rum one may be obliged to try).

(2 of 7) Here is another shot from the first night, looking to the back of the ship, as the smoke from the engine trails out. These first two shots are long exposures that were stabilized on the balcony railing.

This is one of the outdoor bars that had closed for the evening.
