Tripods on Ships

Does RCCL frown upon using tripods for cameras that don't take up a ton of deck space? We're going to Havana, and I'd like to set up a small tripod.

I would ask about this on the RCI Cruise Line Board.

I've had no problem (from crew, etc.) using a tripod on Carnival, NCL or American Empress. Just be aware of, or avoid, high traffic areas.

As long as it's not huge...

You, surely would be careful to not set up in a spot that would lbock a pasageway or make passing by a risky spot that could cause somone walking on a moving ship to trip.

A monopod takes a lot less deck space and is almost as good unless you are planning to do time lapse videos.

I have done several time lapses and I have used two different methods to do it.

A suction cup:

 

And a homemade mount with a strap that I put on the railing, similar to this:

 

Cozumel:

 

Miami & Coco Cay:

I have a suction mount, the railing mount is a good idea. I have an action cam, but my main video camera is a semi professional Sony, so, a little big to mount, but I love these! Thanks for sharing!

Never had a problem, but I’m always aware of traffic and surroundings.

Or damage your equipment.
