Giants Causeway

This is the second time Edel and I have fought the dusk to see Giant's Causeway. This time we arrived with more daylight on our side, but still were too late for the visitors center. We used creative interpretation, for the access road signage and were bound and determined, to get to see the out cropping while still in the light. We had dodged rain all day driving up the 6+ hours. It's stunning!

Angie & Gian's Wedding - Part 2
By Patricia Patrick May 8, 2025
On April 30th, Angie and Gian , a shipboard sweet couple that meet during the dry dock delays in Belfast , seven months ago, got married with just 28 close family and friends, at sunset in the Observatory Lounge. They then did another " Tying the knot ceremony" for the entire ship on May 1st on the pool deck, officiated by Captain Val . After each service was a special dinner one in the Thistle Dining room and the other at the Outdoor deck of Palms Restaurant. The above video done by VVR Marketing shows the highlights. I ended up being the Wedding Resident Coordinator for the couple and I have a ton of the behind the scene photos of how it all came about. It was a lot of work, but I got to interact with so many great people and really enjoyed the challenge, logistics and organization of the whole thing! It brought so many residents together, in a common bond, it was really something special to have played such a major role.
