Market Friday Cruises Double Time
Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle (Denise, that's me!!) I hope you will join me as we share different markets across the globe. I always look forward to seeing what you send me! It is amazing to see so many different markets and different cultures.
I have been to so many new places lately! The curiosity that is attached to foreign ingredients, different produce or any product sold. So, yes! I would love to see yours! Don't forget to take photos wherever you happen to be shopping - whether it be the grocery store, the local marketplace or even an art gallery. Wherever money is exchanged for a service or for merchandise. Be different if you wish! It does not have to be a traditional market! We will love it! I promise you! Don't forget to use the hashtag #MarketFriday and @dswigle.
But first, a flower. Always a flower.
May I gaze upon you, always and a day?
This is one of the many lounges and bars they have on the ship. First of all, this is the Anthem of the Seas and it sails out of New Jersey. All of the ships have classes (according to their size) and Anthem is in the Quantum Class of Royal Caribbean ships. There is only one class larger than Quantum and that is the Oasis-class ships owned by Royal also. Their Symphony of the Seas has 18-decks and is 1,188 feet.
That's a lot of ship.
Please leave the link to your post on here so it can easily be found by others. They will all be in one place. Where else can you take such a quick trip around the globe? Thank you! ❤
Wave technology is used in the Flow Rider. I cannot tell you how many times I have bitten the dust (or water) trying to stand up. I have made it, perhaps 1/3 of the time. Perhaps not even that high. But, if you can stand on a surfboard, you should be able to manage this.
Jump up and give it a try. You know you want to!
Who doesn't love bumper cars? This is the first ship that I have been on that had bumper cars. It is a huge hit with young and old alike. You should see grandpa ramming grannie in his car. Incidentally, the pink one is mine. Right next door, you can sign up for a trapeze class. You climb up to the platform and practice falling and then they teach you to swing. Yes, I did. Yes, it was... Totally cool.
OMGosh! For real!
The gym! As if you couldn't guess! It takes up a whole floor and has every piece of equipment imaginable, and then some. You may eat every six hours while you are cruising, but, they expect you to work it while you are there.
The iFly! You know I did! Proof! You take a few minute class and they let you pop in the tube and try your luck at it! They are there to help you stay face down and not flail all over the place. Such an amazing piece of equipment. It uses a machine to simulate the experience of skydiving without the fear. If you get the opportunity, you have to try it!
Note: As an aside, I won! - it was only $1.75, but it is mine
But, then again...
So the joy may touch your soul

they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

I am always amazed at how large the ships are and how much they pack into one! It is a tremendous engineering feat to accomplish...and then be able to move it all anywhere in the world! Astounding truly. I am happy that you shared it with us :D
Aren't they pretty amazing? They really are! I am also amazed at how much they can pack in, every new ship ups the game just a little bit more. I went on the iFly again today. A real treat! :)
It has been nice, but, my next venture will probably be on land and then I will rotate back to the seas again. I love my vitamin sea!
#MarketFriday loves you!

It's a huuuugggee ship! 😮 And they have amazing facilities and things to do on board. I love the artificial wave and the skydiving experience!!! 👏👏👏 Kudos to the brains who suggested to have something like it on board!!!
Really, you're working?!? What kind of work is that to be in two different cruise ships?!?!? Come on!!! Denise, do you really wanted me to be killed out of envy?!? 😂😂😂😂
Enjoy, enjoy. 😍😍
Haha! Oh, don't be envious. I am relaxing on the ship, headed towards home. Well, it will take me almost another week to get home, but, the weather has been nice and the service is really nice.
So. it has not been a hardship at all! Thank you so much for stopping by and saying hello and leaving your words behind! Also, welcome to the #MarketFriday Community! Find it here: https://steemit.com/trending/hive-196308 I just did it about an hour ago. And one for my flowers called "Always a Flower" :) Because there is. Here it is: https://steemit.com/trending/hive-154065
I hope you are having a great day!!
#MarketFriday loves you!

Oh?!? That's cool! Having a community of your own! Wow!!! 😍😍😍 It's a milestone! Congratulations! 👏👏👏
I'll check it out. 😉
It's really the same thing... You are in it right now. Just that with the new changes that I don't understand very well yet, this is the way I should go. With my flowers too.
We will see!!!!
And thank you!
I don't know about the flowers. Do you also have a challenge about it?
Not yet, but, I will be. It is something that I just decided about tonight and put out the community tag as I use that phrase since the beginning here. Always a flower.
It is for flower posts and I will be putting out a challenge for it and trying to decide whether it should be a weekly contest or a weekly post... I'll think about it overnight. :)
Hahaha! 😂😍 Alright. Just tag me whichever way you have decided dear. ❤
I gave you the tag, but, I will let you know tomorrow. Do you think this site can take another contest?
I don't really understand much about "hive" and numerical figures are hard for me to memorize, so it doesn't make sense to me. 😢
Me neither! But, that is the way the site is going. If you go to my profile and click on post, it will show the communities.
Le sigh.
I am not in favor of it. xoxo
I still use words for tags, and it works just the same. One time I used the tag in words, then when it was posted, it used the 'hive' with numerics, and it's all good for me as long as I am not typing the numbers!!! 😂😂😂
Exactly! Unless they stop using tags!!! I hope not! :(

I've never been on a cruise before, but I imagine those ocean liners must be like a small city in and of itself.
Just dont' get isolated and quarantined anyway!
Well, someday, you truly need to try one. It can be fun, but, I usually like to mix it with land and sea. Oh, yes@ I don't need to get quarantined! Thanks for your thoughts! :)

I was wondering if I should start a #Market or #MarketFriday for you because I start https://steemit.com/trending/hive-191668 for Sunday rather than typing full BeautifulSunday during beta but never got to do what with it.
You can do #MarketFriday It works. I also dislike these changes! Boo!!!
It seems more fragment. I'm having to figure new way to do the stats. It's not like the community "tag" (if you can call them that) has intuitive name. You could tag, e.g., #marketfriday but it does not go into the community unless you post in the community. So, the post can be in the community or not even if you tagged #marketfriday. I think that's how it works.
If you post in a community, it remembers your last post and in your next post, if you are not posting into any community and don't switch out, it may end up in the community. Bit confusing.
OMG! Really? They need to fix that! This has just been made more confusing than ever! :(
Thanks, Ace!
You're welcome. Just need be careful with the post but I'm sure mistake will still happens.
Like after I post to my Sunday community, next post if I do submit post outside, I get this which will post to the community.
Have to make sure to click [Post to blog] if don't want to go to any community we don't want.
Yikes!
