Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. In addition to the good advice already given, I would like to add that learning about the exposure triangle is a good step and helped me when I was starting. If you are taking photos in Auto, pay attention to the settings that your camera is using for those shots and see how the shutter speed, ISO, and aperture all work together in different scenes. Probably the biggest help I have had is just watching Youtube videos. Start with some basic ones regarding your camera model and how to use it. Then find some professional photographers that you like with channels that show how they capture their images. And lastly, of course I am going to say practice. It's just needed. Get comfortable with your camera.
  2. I have used Photopills for a couple of years now and I love it. It has worked very well for me in planning out shots.

    Bimini?

    Was just in Bimini right after you made this post. Really small island but I enjoyed the vibe. It definitely felt more authentic than most of the other ports I have been to- which felt touristy. Not much there in terms of shops or food unless you are at the resort or head towards Alice Town. Radio Beach is really nice and does have some food that is reasonably priced and good. Not far from Radio Beach on the main road is a small "mall" that has a few shops with the basic island merchandise.
  4. We just paid $150 2 weeks ago for a 6 seater golf cart in Bimini. I think it was at Dolphin's. I wanted to negotiate but then my wife just paid it and off we went. What I found really interesting is unlike other times I have rented golf carts at other ports, they took no information from me. Didn't get my name, nothing. I could have driven it into the sea and if no one saw me I wouldn't be able to be held accountable. Just kind of strange.
  5. Was just on the Liberty with my 12 year old daughter and she used the chat. Was really nice to have.
  6. I also have the Peak Design Carbon Fiber travel tripod and I love it. It fits in my bag nice so it is always with me whether I need it or not.
  7. I am a Canon user, but have really been enjoying my Sigma Art lenses for Aurora photography. I have a 20mm 1.4 and a 35mm 1.4 and both are amazing. A friend has the 14mm 1.8 and it looks to be on par. I definitely recommend them!
  8. We will be on the Liberty next month and I would like to surprise my wife with some kind of spa treatment. I literally know nothing about any of the treatments or massages… and my wife has not really ever done any of these before either; which is why I would like to treat her to something. For someone who does not really treat themselves, what would you recommend? I’m thinking something like a massage and facial, but again I’m clueless as to which ones to pick.
  9. I am having the same trouble for my cruise in Jan of 2024... I am having a hard time believing that it is sold out already but I do not see anything to change the dates. Just says Sold Out and nothing else.
  10. Thanks for all the help! I’m awaiting a call back from my Carnival Vacation Planner to hopefully get this worked out.
  11. I just booked today. So I should be good to cancel and rebook for only 3 people in my cabin. If later on I find out I have to add one my kids back into my cabin, can that easily be done as well?
  12. Hey everyone, I just booked a cruise for next January with the family. The four of us were going to share a room, and after I booked (just today), my mother said she would like to go and she could share a room with one of my kids. How would this work since I’ve already booked for the 4 of us in a cabin? Can Carnival just transfer one of us to her cabin when she books?
  13. I had it on the Magic back in February... so it was available at least then. It was amazing!
