On our Breeze journey, they were run by Mr Radu, Carnival premier photographer. I went to both and found them very informative. He was around the whole cruise to answer questions and to talk to.

Have a great day! She will def have a good time, as will you all. A journey cruise is right at the top of our list of past cruises and cannot wait to do another. Have her go and talk to him. While somethings can get technical, he is very interesting and will engage with her on a level she can understand. Highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been on three journeys cruises that had photo seminars that discussed digital photography and two that discussed taking photos with your phone. After the seminar the lecturer will answer any questions. You might get lucky and catch one of these. If you catch Radu, he’s the Carnival chief photographer. His photos are beautiful.

plettza Posted May 18, 2020 #7 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Silly question, but what are these Carnival Journey Photography classes that offered? I don't think I've ever seen anything like this on Spirit or Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever seen anything like this on Spirit or Legend. They are part of the Journey experience. The ones we had were run by Mr Radu, Carnivals senior photographer. It was informal in nature, and he discussed selecting subjects, lighting and cameras (including smart phones). He also discussed and showed some of his photographs and the story behind them. Very informal and he was open and engaging, these are only on Journey cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radu's class is not just Journey cruises, but obviously he has to be on the ship. He usually sponsors a photography contest in conjunction with. {And Radu isn't on all Journey cruises} Edited May 18, 2020 by BlerkOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the clarification. Edited May 18, 2020 by jimbo5544 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiredogCruiser Posted May 18, 2020 #11 Share Posted May 18, 2020 We have been on several Journey Cruises and Radu was not on any of them. The photo seminars were put on by the ship's staff photographers on all. Still a worthwhile experience, and as others said, they were willing to answer questions posed to them either after the program, or you could approach them around the ship. On the Pride they generally always had people approaching them as they were setting up before dinner, and at least one would be the designated question taker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
