Trip to
Bermuda: 7-14 October 2006
October 17, 2006:
Tony and I returned from a wonderful 7-night cruise to
Bermuda. I booked this cruise in June after my friend Shaun invited us to
join him and his fiancée Melonee after I invited him to join us on a
Mediterranean/Black sea cruise for October 2007…I’m still trying to convince
them to join us.
Tony and I have never been to Bermuda and thought the price of the
cruise was very reasonable. We liked the idea of cruising to Bermuda
rather than a land based trip since Bermuda is a very expensive place to
visit. Hotels start around $250, which is out of our price range.
Dining is very expensive too. With the cruise, we had our room and board, tons
of dining options and entertainment.
Planning this cruise was really easy since it was just one place
(two port stops) we would be visiting. I met fellow passengers on Cruise
Critic and even organized a sail away party for our group.
Friday October 6, 2006:
This was the first time I packed my suitcase “last minute.”
I did have most of my things out (my home office was a mess!) but I sort of
panicked since I gave myself just a couple of hours to pack. And I over
packed. I figured since we were driving to the port, rather than flying,
I could take extra clothes. No worries about luggage or weight
restrictions. In addition to the usual items, we packed our beach mats,
reef shoes and my mask & snorkel.
We dropped Lucy off at my in-laws house. She was NOT a happy
dog that we left her there. She stayed overnight and then was taken to a
friend’s house to take care of her for the rest of the trip. We left
Frederick at 11 am and got to our hotel in Avenel NJ at 5pm. We stopped
along the way to get a bite to eat and fill the car with gas. We drove
via Rte 78 through Allentown PA to avoid any Friday traffic on 95 and the NJ
turnpike. It had rained in Frederick, but no rain the rest of the
day. However, there was a tropical depression near Ocean city, so lots of
rain and winds on the east coast. The hotel was located in a real crappy
area. We met up with Vicki, a fellow cruise mate, who got us a discount
at the room since she works for Marriott. She was traveling with her
mother Fay and Fay’s friend Darlene. Our room was only $35 plus
taxes. The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. This was a
Fairfield Inn and Suites, so our stay included continental breakfast.
Thanks again Vicki!
Before dinner, Tony and I went out to get cash from an ATM and
also pick up some bottled water for our cabin. We found a Shop-Rite
store, which reminded us of Wegman’s, a wonderful grocery store. We
thought we’d stop there before heading home to pick up some meats and cheese,
but later decided against it.
For dinner the five of us dined at Dominic's, a very good family
style Italian restaurant. We didn't know it was a BYOB, but the waitress gave
us each a glass of wine from the kitchen. I thought it tasted liked
cooking wine! She later asked us how we liked it. I just told her,
"It’s not bad." She wasn’t too happy with that answer.
Well, I didn't want to say it was bad! The ossobucco was delicious!
After dinner, Vicki opened a bottle of wine and we had drinks in
our room while the ladies went to bed.
Vicki arranged our car service for 10:30am but it arrived at
11am. We got $10 off the bill for their tardiness. The driver
Anthony picked us up in a Lincoln but it was not large enough for 5
people. I had to squeeze up in front. Thank goodness the trunk was deep
and all of our luggage fit. None of us were pleased with this, but at
least we were on our way to the port.
Saturday October 7th Bayonne NJ/Cape Liberty
We arrived to the port at 11:30am. There were plenty of
porters to take the luggage but man, they were rude and pushy. I only had
the large suitcase for them to take. The rest Tony and I carried directly to
our room. My wine and champagne, for our in cabin consumption, made it on
board without any problems. Based on other people’s comments, no wine was
taken away from any passenger.
Check in literally took 5 minutes and absolutely no waiting in
line. I had checked in via the Celebrity web site prior to leaving home.
This was the fasted that I have ever checked in on a cruise. It was a
breeze. We had our photo taken and then on to the bus to take us to the ship,
which was just a 2-3 minute ride.
We walk on board via deck 3 (deck 5 was open too but you have to
climb two flights of stairs) and I was surprised to see NO champagne! We
walked up 1 flight to our deck and there standing near the elevators were two
waiters with platters of champagne filled glasses. We quickly dropped off our
luggage and went back for our glass of champagne. Let the cruise
begin! Up on deck 11 we ran into some cruise critic members (Misti, John,
Carol, Dolores, Ken, and Lee) while in the food line at the windsurf
cafe. We had lunch with friends Mike and Maureen.
After lunch, the 4 of us checked out the dining room and found our
table, #136. It was very close to the entrance and the piano and seemed
like we would be in the way of the waiters; however, we were very comfortable
there. We checked out the various areas on the ship. The Zenith is
much smaller than the Millennium and Constellation, but I felt very comfortable
on board. The Zenith has a cozier feel.
At the Marina bar we met up with some of the cruise critic members
for our sail away party. We hung out for a while before having to do the
muster drill, which went by quickly. We went to the top deck to watch the
scenery as we left NJ. We could see the skyline of NYC, the Statue of Liberty
and Ellis Island. We sailed under the Verrazano Bridge. It was very
cold outside with the wind and the temperature was in the low 60s.
My camera started to act up and didn’t work properly the rest of
the trip. It was accidentally knocked out of my hand a couple of months
ago but Tony fixed it…or so we thought. The lens wouldn’t retract completely,
so I had to be very careful with the lens so that I wouldn’t get it scratched
or filled with dust. At least I could still take pictures. I’m not
sure if this is covered under the 1-year warranty. If not, I lost a lot
of mula on this purchase.
We went back to the room and unpacked our clothing. I was
glad that my suitcase got there early. Our room, cabin 4102, was pretty
nice but does show the age of the Zenith. The bed looked like it sagged,
but it was actually very comfortable to sleep in. Our beds were pushed
together and against one wall, so getting out of bed at night meant scooting
down to the foot of the bed. Our room had upper bunks too, but they were not in
the way. We didn’t have any mini refrigerator, but I didn’t miss it on this
cruise. There was plenty of closet and drawer space. The shower was
large enough to move around. Our cabin attendant was Santano Rosario from
India. He always had a smile on his face and kept our room clean. We
never saw him he was that good!
At 7pm we met Mike and Maureen in the Martini bar for the martini
tasting. I've done this before: $10 for six different types of martinis.
I gave Tony the regular martini. I loved the Flirtini!
Dinner was at 8:30pm. Our table of 6 included Mike, Maureen, and
Shaun and Melonee. We had a nice time together. For dinner I had
their veal picatta, which was excellent. I started with a mushroom pastry
appetizer, while Tony had the shrimp cocktail. I had the tomato bisque
and Caesar salad. Tony had the prime rib. And for dessert: Crème Brule!!
Yum!
I was tired so I went to bed. We didn’t go to the welcome party,
but we didn’t mind.
Sunday October 8th at Sea
Sunday was a beautiful day. I woke up about 8am, but it was
actually 7am, as we lost an hour due to the time change in Bermuda. The
seas were pretty rough, although I slept well. Many people were sick and
barf bags were placed throughout the ship, including next to the elevators.
We didn't get to the cruise critic party at 9:30am because of the time
change. Only 17 people showed up. I was told Celebrity would give
it a second try on another day since so many people missed it. There were about
71 people signed up. It turned out they hosted it again on our second sea
day, but what was the point?
Tony and I had a light breakfast on the aft deck 11. I had a
part of a bagel with smoked salmon and grapefruit. The breakfast buffet
was the same every day: assorted breads, pastries, a variety of fruit,
smoked salmon, cream cheese; assorted meats, cheese; scrambled eggs, bacon,
corned beef hash, cereal, etc… There was also a waffle and pancake
station. At the aft at the Windsurf café, there was an omelet
station.
At 11:30am Celebrity held an anniversary and honeymooners party,
which we had received an invitation in our cabin. One couple had been
married for 67 years! Anna and Hooch, another cruise critic member, were
married 18 years ago on the 8th, just like Tony and me. Champagne and
cake were served…well, one small glass of champagne and a piece of cake for
each couple. We were told "the champagne will be flowing," but
it wasn't. Tony got up and got 2 more glasses from the bar. Tony
felt the whole event was cheesy. They should have either skipped it
completely or done a much better job. Once the cruise director left the
spotlight, he and the rest of the crew (minus 2 bartenders) disappeared.
I had a small lunch on deck at the pool area while watching the
pool events. I also like to people watch. All the deck chairs were
filled with people enjoying the sun and outdoors. Yes, people do hog the
chairs. I felt a little queasy because of the rough ocean. I took
another seasick pill and felt fine the rest of the day.
While on the pool deck, there were several events: Sherbet
was served (I do like the little things that Celebrity does for its
passengers), a chef did a fruit carving demonstration with watermelon; and there
was contest with four guys who had to dance, sing, yell like Tarzan and
serenade to a woman. It was pretty funny.
Every day at 5pm, the sushi bar opens up. We enjoyed the
variety they had every day! We enjoyed this before our 8:30pm dining
time.
Sunday was our first formal night and our 18th wedding
anniversary. My travel agent had informed Celebrity that we would be
celebrating our anniversary, so we received a cake after dinner. However,
we already ate our dessert, so we didn’t eat it. In addition, I think they use
the same cake to celebrate other people’s events.
Monday October 9th Hamilton
We arrived in Hamilton about 9am. We got up early enough to watch
as we sailed into the harbor. We saw many beautiful and expensive homes
on the way in. I saw a few that I would love to call home! Hamilton
is a lovely town with very colorful buildings.
After our usual breakfast, we took the bus to Horseshoe bay with
Mike, Maureen, Shaun, and Melonee. We all purchased the 3-day bus and ferry pass
($28pp) at the bus station, which was located a block up from the ship and two
blocks inland. We all loved the beach with its wonderful soft powdery
sand. The weather was perfect too. I spent most of the time in the
water playing in the waves. I also took a few photos with my underwater
camera. Later, Mike, Tony and I walked to other parts of the beach.
There are lots of secluded spots; however, we enjoyed the far end of the beach
away from the rest of the crowd. There are changing facilities, which I
used. I took a very cold shower, as I wanted to get the salt off of me.
We were surprised at how salty the water was, more so than other beaches.
After our time at the beach, Mike, Maureen, Tony and I headed to
the Dockyards, while Shaun and Melonee stayed at the beach. We took the
$1pp van ride to the top of the hill. Now, it wasn’t overly steep, we
just decided to ‘splurge.’
Once in the Dockyards, we headed to the Frog and Onion pub
for some drinks and snacks. I had their fish chowder, which was pretty
tasty and one of the few reasonably priced items on the menu. Shaun and
Melonee popped in and joined us. Sitting at the next table were Misti,
John, and Carol who were enjoying their lunch. Anthony, our waiter, kept
joking with us, so when our bill came, we all gave our boarding card for
payment. He laughed!
Just before heading to the ferry to get back to the ship, we
ordered drinks in to-go cups. I was surprised we could do that, but we
were in Bermuda! Ferrying over to Hamilton was very nice and
relaxing. It took only 20 minutes to cross the bay.
After dinner we went to the Island Night at the pool deck.
It was fun to watch people dancing and having a good time. Of course,
they did the typical line dancing that should have died in 1987. Lots of
food was served but we were still full. I suppose that’s the one negative
thing about eating at the late seating. The advantage is having more time
to prepare for dinner after getting on board the ship or even going to the
gym…which I never saw. Ribs, chicken, fruits and assorted desserts were
served.
Tuesday October 10th Hamilton
While having breakfast on the pool deck, we saw a Royal Caribbean
ship come in to port. I learned that there was also a ship in St George
and one at the Dockyards. It made me realize we made a very good decision
to go to Horseshoe bay when we did, as I’m sure the beach was packed on this
day.
We walked around Hamilton after breakfast and met up with Mike and
Maureen at the ferry dock at 9:50am to catch the 10am ferry. We ferried
over to the Dockyards and toured the maritime museum ($10pp). I felt the price
was great for all that we saw, including the dolphins at Dolphin Quest.
I was surprised we could see them. I thought they would be in a different area.
On the grounds were sheep and goats. We wandered through the museums and
grounds.
Mike wanted to have drinks at the Frog and Onion, but I suggested
we go to Somerset Village for drinks and lunch. Something different to
see. The bus ride was just about 10 minutes. Somerset Village is
tiny. We dined at outdoor terrace of the Somerset Squire Country Pub,
located along the water. Tony and I had the fish and chips, which were
very good and probably the cheapest on the island ($12.50). Maureen had a
Caesar salad with grilled chicken and Mike had a fish sandwich, all good.
The place had a few other customers, but overall, it was a nice quiet place to
have lunch and relax. I think Somerset Village is a place most people
don’t visit based on the number of tourists I saw. It did rain a little
but we were sitting under large umbrellas.
After lunch, we wanted to go to the lighthouse, but after three
busses passed us packed with tourists, and also discovering the place closed at
4pm, we took the bus back to the dockyards, Maureen and I window shopped while
the guys had a beer.
We did see a moped accident with some locals while waiting for the
bus in Somerset Village. There were two guys on mopeds and we could tell
they ended up with “Bermuda tattoos,” i.e. road rash. They tried to pass
a car that was turning but cut the driver off and they ran into the back of the
car. A woman at the bus stop told us not to think about renting
mopeds. There are just too many accidents on the island, especially with
tourists who are not comfortable driving on the left side of the road.
After taking the ferry back, Tony and I walked around town. We even
checked out one of the local grocery stores. Some of the food products
were reasonably priced.
Dinner was fabulous! Appetizers included salmon mouse and
duck parfait. I think we all ordered the rack of lamb, which was just
amazing. It was cooked perfectly and size/portion was very good.
Desserts were delicious too and always a nice variety to choose from.
After dinner we attended the newly and not-so newlywed game.
It was very funny! This included a couple who was married for just a few
days and one couple married for 67 years.
Wednesday October 11th St. George
Tony and I woke up at 8am so we could watch as we entered the
“cut” into St. George. The cut is a narrow entrance and only smaller
ships like the Zenith can go through it. As we entered the cut, the
town's crier greeted the ship with a single canon shot and his welcome.
By the time we arrived at the pier, so did the town crier, where again he
greeted us. It was a beautiful clear, sunny morning. I took lots of
photos as we entered the port. St. George is just lovely with its colorful
houses. It’s smaller than Hamilton and has more charm.
We ran into Mike, so the three of us ate breakfast in the dining room. Tony and Mike both had eggs Benedict while I had a Spanish omelet. We sat with a couple from Canada. So far everyone was enjoying the cruise.
We decided to go to Tobacco Bay to do some snorkeling. We
went ahead of the rest since Maureen, Shaun and Melonee hadn't had breakfast
yet. It was a nice walk from the ship through town to the bay (just over
a mile). We stopped along the way to see the Unfinished Church.
As we continued to the beach, the clouds came in. I snorkeled for a short
while. It was too cloudy to take any good photos, so I just took three.
Soon after I got out of the water it rained. We packed up and started to
walk back to the ship and it came down in buckets! Fortunately I spotted
a small shelter at a golf course, which we sat and waited out the rain.
After about 45 minutes, it turned to a light sprinkle. We headed to town
and to King's square. There, the town's crier was in the middle of "punishing"
two people. The square has stocks, a pillory and a whipping post, and the
crier was reenacting what might have happened 400 years ago. One person
was a tourist and the other an actor. She was "charged" with
being a gossip and nag. We got to see her being dunked in the water
several times.
We ran into the four others, who obviously didn't make it to the
beach because of the rain. We all had a drink at the bar in the town
square, White Horse Tavern, and then Tony and I headed back to the ship to
shower, while the rest went on a glass bottom boat ride.
After our shower, we window shopped in town and again ran into the
gang. They were taking pictures of each other in the stocks, so Tony and
I had our picture taken too. We all tasted rum cake at a store and then
took the bus to the Crystal/Fantasy caves. We toured the Fantasy caves
($15pp), which was quite interesting. For our reward of going up/down 88
steps each way, we had drinks and nachos at the Swizzle Inn. Everything
tasted great. The pitcher of Rum Swizzle was $22 and pretty strong. It
started to rain again just as we finished our food. It lasted just a few
minutes.
We caught the bus back to St. George and window shopped. I
wanted to buy a few water color prints, but didn’t see anything close to the
ones I saw at the shop at the Fantasy caves. I should have remembered my
motto, “If you see something and like it, buy it!” They were much nicer
than the ones I saw in St. George. At the time, I didn’t realize there
were several local artists doing the same kind of art work.
It rained again! Time to get back on the ship.
Back on the ship and before dinner, we had drinks in the Michael’s
bar. This was a very nice bar. Gabriel, from Romania, made my
cosmopolitans.
Another delicious dinner. I had the salmon, while Tony had
the rack of veal. After dinner we attended The 60’s Show. It
was pretty good. It lasted about an hour and the singers/dancer sung
various tunes from the 60s.
Thursday October 12th St. George
This was our last day in Bermuda. Since it was an overcast
morning, Tony and I decided to skip the beach. This helped us from having to
carry bags, towels, and beach mats. We spent the morning visiting the Unfinished
church, walked back to Tobacco Bay and to Fort St. Catherine. We
circled back and probably walked 2.5 miles total. The Fortress was
interesting and included replica British Crown Jewels.
Back in town in King’s square, we window shopped and I finally
decided to buy three small water color prints. Tony picked up a couple of
nice shirts for only $10 each. Everything else was pretty
expensive. I looked at some jewelry but didn’t see anything that I
liked. After tasting the Rum Swizzle drink the other day, I wanted to buy
some Gosling’s black rum. We headed to the liquor store where we were told we
couldn’t buy any duty free liquor. We were told we had to purchase the
liquor before 10am. We didn’t know that. If it was in the Celebrity
Today I didn’t read it. However, we were able to buy it on board the ship
at a better price than in town.
Celebrity hosted an Oktoberfest in the Fleet bar. The food
wasn’t that great and it wasn’t all German food! I expected to see
knockwurst and Wiener schnitzel. The potato salad was NOT German potato salad.
Tony said the hotdogs were very good. I should have had lunch at the
buffet area. I did win a Celebrity tote bag during the contest that was
held. They were all questions about Oktoberfest.
Our ship left port at 3pm, so I wanted to be on a lower deck to
take pictures. We hung out on the deck with the lifeboats. The afternoon
started to clear up. Too bad we didn’t have perfect weather, but it was
still a nice visit to Bermuda. As we passed through the cut, we saw several
people on the shore waving to everyone goodbye.
That evening was our second formal night. Tony and I never
did get to have any formal pictures taken. We attended the Captain’s club
cocktail party with Mike and Maureen, as well as Nick and Diane, who we met at
the Martini tasting. Drinks were definitely flowing at this cocktail
party! This time there was a larger list of drinks to choose from, rather
than the usual wine and champagne, including Mai Tai’s and Martini’s. I
ordered a Mai Tai and 15 minutes later the waiter still hadn’t returned with
one. In the meantime I ordered one from another waiter, who promptly
served it to me. About 10 minutes later, the original waiter came up to
me and apologized for not bringing my drink. He had been bumped by
another person and his tray spilled all over him. I had heard the crash
and looked over. He had left and changed his shirt. I thought it
was very nice he remembered my order and came to tell me what happened. I
told him I understood and that I was taken care of.
My dinner was delicious (yes, every night was delicious –
Celebrity did not disappointment me one bit with their food on this
cruise): Chicken Terrine, Caesar salad, and Prime Rib! The baked
Alaska was served after all the waiters paraded through the dining room.
The midnight buffet was soon after. I took a bunch of photos of the
displays of food, which were beautifully displayed. Tony originally wanted to
have some food but he was still full from dinner, so we headed to bed.
Friday October 13th Day at Sea
Saturday was a relaxing day. We gained back the hour we lost
the previous night, so we slept in. It was a day of packing, reading, and
just hanging out on the ship. I sat out in the sun for an hour, and then
headed in for lunch while Tony read his book in the library. By the time
I finished eating, the clouds rolls in and the temperature dropped. I walked
around the ship visiting the various areas. Back in the cabin I showered
and packed my suitcase. It was much easier and faster to pack – just dump
in suitcases.
We had one last round of sushi and drinks (at Michaels’) before
dinner: Beef tenderloin. A few nights before we asked the assistant
maitre’d if we could have escargot and Crème Brule for our last night. He did
for us. It was a great beginning and ending to our meal. We passed
our tips to the waiter (Yusuf from Turkey), assistant waiter (Carlos from
Honduras, I think), and assistant maidre’d (didn’t get his name). They
all did a great job.
Back in the room we finished our packing and went to bed.
Saturday October 14th Home again
Our original time to disembark was at 10:20am; however, since we
were traveling with Vicki and two older women who needed wheelchair assistance,
we made plans to meet them at the Casino at 9:30am…with all the people in
wheelchairs. After breakfast in the dining room, I headed to the Fleet
bar to say goodbye to Mike, Maureen, Shaun and Melonee. I also ran into a few
other cruise critic friends too. It took a while to get the wheelchair
folks off the ship, but overall the debarkation went very smoothly. Celebrity
should have blocked one set of elevators for just the wheeled chaired
people. By the time we got to the luggage area (we were in the lavender
section) there were only about 8-10 pieces sitting, so it was very easy to spot
ours. This was a nice change after being on our Princess cruise and
having to go through thousands of pieces of luggage!
Again, our limo service got a car where I had to squeeze in the
front. We certainly won’t use their services again…unless it’s for 4
people or less. Back at the Fairfield Inn, we put our luggage in our cars
and headed home. It took 4 hours to get home, after stopping to pick up Lucy.
She was so excited to see us and she was ready to go home.
Cruise Summary:
This was a wonderful cruise and I loved sailing with Celebrity.
Tony loved it too except for the noisy pool atmosphere with all the games and
the cheesy anniversary party. We both thought the food was exceptional,
as well as the service on board.
The Zenith does show her age but is still in very good
condition. I did like the smaller ship feel, and especially enjoyed
seeing friends again and again while on board. That’s hard to do on a
large ship. Tony also likes the smaller ships. I hope when they retire
the Zenith, they’ll replace her with a same size ship.
Tony and I certainly got our exercise while on board. Every
morning we would walk from deck 4 to 11 for breakfast (126 steps). We used the
elevator only two times.
Our next cruise will be on the Galaxy and we’ll be heading to the
Mediterranean and Black sea for 14 nights (plus 3 pre-cruise nights in
Rome). I’m looking forward to sailing with Celebrity again!
Other Comments:
Luggage:
I found out that one woman never got her luggage! She told
me Celebrity was giving her $200 to buy clothes on board. I recommend
that anyone traveling (whether it’s a cruise or land based tour) split all
clothing into two suite cases, one of which should be a carry-on. This
way, you’ll have half of your clothing. I did this on my Baltic
cruise. I divided all casual to formal clothing between both suitcases,
down to the shoes. If I lost one bag, I would have been fine and probably
would have used the laundry services on board. Even though our room was
not ready until 1pm, we were able to bring our luggage on board and place them
directly in our room.
Passengers:
I would say the average age on board this cruise ranged from the
40’s to 60’s, along with the elderly. There were also children, who were
well behaved and seemed to have a great time too.
Food and Drink:
I thought the food was better than on my other Celebrity
cruises. I always order the filet mignon and prime rib cooked rare and
that’s how I got them. I wonder if the food was better because the chefs
and cooks dealt with 1300 passengers rather than 1900 like on the Millennium
and Constellation. I loved their cream soups but didn’t have them every
night. Everything was well presented but not too fancy.
The nice thing about Celebrity is that you can order other items
that are not on the menu, such as steak, salmon, and chicken; shrimp cocktail
and Caesar salad. In addition, you can pre-order an item, like we did
with the Crème Brule and escargot.
Sushi – There was a variety of sushi, including salmon (my
favorite!), tuna, tilapia, eel, shrimp, as well as rolled sushi: spicy tuna and
California roll. In addition, there was a miso soup bar, where various
items could be added to the soup. I didn’t have the soup since I just
wanted the sushi as an appetizer before dinner.
There’s also:
- Pizza and pasta station
- Burgers and dogs, as well as other sandwiches
- Mini-sandwiches and cookies around 4pm
- Pastries in the Cova Café
Drinks – we enjoyed some of the Drink of the Day specials,
including the Mai Tai’s (I had to ask for a float of dark rum to make it
authentic), Cosmopolitans, and Sea breezes.
Casino and Cigarette smoke:
We played the slot machines and lost our $10. We’re not
gamblers but know others did win $200-$300. The casino is small and we
didn’t like the fact it was filled with cigarette smoke. Even walking
through the Rendezvous lounge was not pleasant. Smokers hung out on one
side of the room.
Money in Bermuda:
We were lucky that Bermuda accepts USD. We didn’t have to
exchange any money and the value of the USD was the same as the local
currency. Master card and Visa were widely accepted.
Photos:
We didn’t purchase any photos on board. They were
expensive. It always amazes me that these cruise companies charge so much
when I see so many thrown away. I’m sure if they were to lower their
prices, more people would purchase them. I would. It’s all done via
digital camera and the development, I’m sure, is cheap
