maritimer2 Posted February 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2014 My friends lost there camera while in grand cayman last week. It was late in the day and most ships had already left. We were on the Silhouette. They think it fell out of there bag between the Tikiki beach bar, possibly a taxi or jewellery store in Georgetown. If anyone has seen or heard about this please let me know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has seen or heard about this please let me know. Thanks The odds of recovering their camera are slim to none. I sure hope that they backed up their pictures on a daily basis so that they have most of the pictures from their trip. Most people do not bother to we ever back up their pictures.

sparky-elpaso Posted February 24, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 24, 2014 How would you backup pics from a digital camera while on a cruise? Sent from my iPhone using Forums I take my netbook and transfer my pics at the end of every day. Then I back them up from the netbook to a portable hard drive. I take LOTS of photos and don't want to risk losing them. It not only protects my once in a lifetime visit photos but allows me to keep them categorized - a file for each day.

Instead I have a bunch of chips and use each one for a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketlegs Posted February 24, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I was going to take the Canon D10, my iphone and that's it. I've got a usb drive I backup my photos at home on, but I don't have an interface from the camera to usb drive. On the ship's computers available to use, do they have usb ports? I wonder if I could cable my camera to the computer and upload my photos daily to flickr and to the usb drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great minds think alike. The only additional things that I do is that I backup to a hard drive and a flash drive. When we pack, my wife carries the flash drive in her carry on, the hard drive and the tablet (I use a tablet instead of a netbook) goes in my carry on.

Can you imagine how quickly the ship computers would be infected with viruses or malware if they allowed it. Also, upload speeds are very slow on a ship.

Rare Turtles06 Posted February 24, 2014 #11 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I was going to take the Canon D10, my iphone and that's it. I've got a usb drive I backup my photos at home on, but I don't have an interface from the camera to usb drive. For your Canon, take a bunch of memory cards and swap them out, so that you won't lose all of your photos if something happens to your camera or the card that's in it. (The general advice above to do this is excellent and it's what I do, even when I have a netbook or laptop along for backing up my photos.) As for the iPhone, I imagine if you were using this a good bit and had important pictures on it from the trip that you did not want to risk losing, you could make sure your iCloud photo stream is doing backups during the trip. This requires Wi-Fi. You could try to find free Wi-Fi on shore, or pay for it on the ship. Again, depends on how important the photos are to you. OP: all the best to your friends, I hope they get their camera back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DENNICH Posted February 25, 2014 #12 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I no longer take a laptop with me on cruises. Instead I have a bunch of chips and use each one for a couple of days. Great idea! Thanks for sharing. I have lots of chips lying around and I never thought to take them on a cruise before, but now I will. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
