I’m writing today’s post the morning that we head out for our flight before our current cruise (that’s a lot of clauses). I’m excited to see what kinds of modern art adorn our current ship, as it’s a different one (I think) than the one from our honeymoon.

As such, it seemed like a fun time to look back at the art from that honeymoon cruise. Some of it was quite odd.

With that, here is 19 December 2025’s “Phone it in Friday CXIV: YouTube Roundup CLXXIV: Cruise Art“:

Dr. Wife and I took a cruise for our honeymoon aboard Royal Caribbean‘s Explorer of the Seas. The artwork impressed, delighted, and even confounded me.

As such, I put together a brief video showcasing some of the art onboard the ship.  This video only captures a small fraction of the collages, paintings, photographs, mosaics, etc., aboard Explorer of the Seas.  The selections were often odd, but they really fit the atmosphere of the ship, and added a touch of elegance and class to the cruise.

My neighbor, who frequently does the Colombo “just one more thing” when a conversation is wrapping up, loved the Colombo picture.

Happy Viewing—and Merry Christmas!
