We enjoyed Christmas at sea onboard the "Legend of the Seas". The ship was decked out for the holidays and the dinners for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were special. The restaurant crew sang for everyone, and Santa made a special visit to the ship.

Not to be outdone, we decorated our cabin door with seasonal items, such as "Nalani" our hula lady in holiday colors. A bit of colored tinsel added to the festive look.

These pictures were taken primarily with our new Kodak DX6490, which we love. The 10x optical zoom is great, and the electronics do a fine job of automatic adjustment and flash operations.

The ship was heavily decorated for Christmas, including a display of gingerbread houses in the Centrum area.	The stairway in the Centrum area was decorated, too, including poinsettias.	We decided that lifeboat drill should be a little more festive	"Nalani" was our Hawaiian door ornament and angel.	We got into the spirit of the season with a decorated door.
