All pics were taken with iPhone 14 Pro Max (Raw) and "Rinsed" with Topaz Photo AI at default settings plus some reduction in size for posting and cropping (except for the pano) to get to a 3:2 pic ratio.
I have not erased the exif data for those who are curious as to the details
This was my first trip w/o my usual Canon DSLR and "L" glass. Yes, the amount and weight of my luggage are becoming an issue. Also, Shipping our luggage ahead is really expen$ive.
Enjoy, and constructive comments are always welcome.

This is an outstanding series of iPhone photos. They’re well composed and presented. Looks like your ship was pretty elegant, too. We did that cruise in 2019 with Holland America, only we started in Boston. Thanks for sharing your experience. The iPhone 14 Pro Max is a standout.

I'm learning from y'all. Thanks. I just may need to upgrade my iPhone next year to take photos during our Viking cruise next Fall.

Your trip looks amazing and the photos capture your experience so you can relive it whenever you want.

Thank you to Wingpilot, NMGal, and UTMike for the kind words.
Our Viking Neptune is a well equipped mid-sized cruise ship (approximately 930 folks), in between their river boats (approximately 130 folks) and the huge Royal Princess (approximately 3600 folks), and longer than a US Aircraft Carrier.

Modern cruise ships are Far-Far-Far Better than when we took our first cruise in the late '70s.
However, in the story of a cruise ship mutiny in the summer of 1978, the S.S. America sent passengers over the edge.

All excellent photos. They are well composed with dynamic colors and tack sharp. Great job. The food ones have me hungry looks like you could put on a few pounds with that delicious food. Looks like an excellent fun cruise.

Thanks, I was Highly Skeptical and this was the first time that I relied Solely on a smartphone.
I Really like to just take the phone in a pocket, occasionally wipe off the lens and shoot.
This way I made acceptable pics and I was also able to enjoy the trip.
Enjoy your Viking Cruise and don't forget to . . .
