Here is the more traditional colored version of the layout I taught on the Cricut Cruise. This layout was made using the Pack Your Bags and Martha Stewart All Occasions Cake Cricut cartridge and Bo Bunny Double Dot cardstock. I love how the double dot paper gives some interest and texture without being overwhelming.
Here on the left side of the page, the four nautical shapes are cut at 2" each and have multi-layers. They are all shadowed with black to give them some anchoring. To really make a statement, be sure and cut all the layers - your die cuts really shine that way.
The "Our Cruise" is cut at 2-1/2", all layers also. The scalloped border is from the Martha Stewart All Occasions cartridge and cut at 10".
On the right hand side, I cut the ship at 5", after flipping it so it faced into the layout. The journaling block was cut at 4", 3-3/4" and 3-1/2".
All photo blocks are for standard 4" x 6" photos. White pen adds some faux stitching around the edges.
Now here is the layout we made on the cruise, based off this one:
The papers are from the new Cricut Imagine cartridge, Berries and Cream Patterns and Colors. I love the tropical feel to this! The papers are just fabulous! See how different things look with other colors? Makes such a difference! I think depending on what type of cruise you went on (Alaska versus Caribbean, etc.), each layout has a place.

I like the colors from the layout you made while on the cruise. I think I can adapt the layout to other vacations... Hmmmm.

Hi, This is a wonderful layout. Love it. My neighbor is working on her cruise albums and will be at my house this Saturday for a crop. We might have to scraplift this since it is an all-day crop. thank you. I save your Cricut emails. 2011 is my year to learn the cricut.
Mahalo Have an awesome week
Aloha from Oahu
p.s. I couldn't post here until I got rid of the network link that was on top and it went to your actual web. Others might be having similiar problem.
I'm going on a cruise in a couple of weeks.. i hope to use your beautiful layout as well! You are amazing!
I had forgotten about the "flip" feature. Thanks for reminding me. I know someone close to me who's going on a cruise in a few weeks. This layout will come in very handy. Thanks for sharing -
I like both these layouts. I can see how the diffrent colors can represent different parts of the world. Or even the feel of the cruise. TFS Hugs, Debi

Fantastic layouts. I like the way the ribbon is tied. Maybe one day I'll get to go cruisin'.
