We met many of our fellow cruisers for this Panama Canal cruise on the Internet. We regularly check www.cruisecritic.com discussion groups for information, and cruising ideas. Many cruisers use this website to discuss cruises, ask cruise questions, help with answers, and spread the enjoyment that cruising offers.

Nancy, from Livermore, California, took the lead on a lot of the "organization" of us CC'ers. After much internet discussion, we all settled on the name "Cruisin' Eagles", given that this was the first trip on the new Pride of America. She is a school teacher, and it turned out that many of our fellow cruisers were also teachers, including Sandi, of course.

NCL did throw an "official" party for us, but our indomitable cruisers were quicker than that, and we enjoyed a number of informal get-togethers throughout the cruise. John and Nancy were very generous with their beautiful Grand Suite, and we had several get-togethers there. In addition, we had a group for teppanyaki inside the East Meets West restaurant. Nancy was able to get us a group of tables together in the Liberty restaurant for a "farewell" dinner the last night on board. Thanks, Nancy, for all the great help! This page has many photos taken at our on-board activities, official and not.

These pictures were taken primarily with our (no longer) 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.
