If you were, you could have ordered beef wellington every night. There was a man sitting at our table ( for 2 ) that ordered 2 servings to go with his 2 shrimp cocktails and had no trouble finishing off his meal with crème brule and chocolate lava cake for desert. Our Waiter, oops, his Waiter even brought over the Maitre'd near the end of the cruise who made some " small talk " and reminded him to " Don't forget to fill out the Survey ". Holy $&^# the only one that didn't " remind " him about the Survey was the Washroom Attendant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also not knowing what menu until just before has been an question. We did the new menu that started early this year on the Eclipse so I think was late last year on other ships. I had 2 fish dishes (one of the alternate menu), short ribs and then they gave me a very nicely dressed mango sorbet with fruit as I couldn't have the GF dessert as it was a dairy based one. One of my fish courses was slightly different to my husbands as our sauces/broth were made differently but they were delicious. We did tell them at booking that I had dietary needs but I don't know if that got passed along as we booked at a B2B meeting and it was the first night of the second cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One I actually follow happened to be on a cruise I was on in November of 2021. But you probably won't notice most of them unless you end up on a vloggers cruise or press trip. Most are not obnoxious and try to blend in. Online content creators have really grown over the last few years. You likely find them just about anywhere you go even if you don't notice them. I think this is most accurate. I’m new to vlogging but have been a “content creator” for many years - writing and photography. I actually think videotaping with my iPhone is less intrusive than me and my Nikon, a tripod, and several lenses. That said, I’m not the sort to do a huge photo shoot while on the ship. I mostly prefer to shoot B-Roll and experience the ship, and then put my video content together when I’m at home in my “studio.” I may shoot some “live” content on an upcoming TA, but there’s a lot of sea days. Plus I’m not going to shoot anywhere that makes me a nuisance to my fellow cruisers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wadewood Posted April 2, 2023 #113 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Most influencers, Youtubers, vloggers or whatever else you want to call them are talk too much blowhards that take 15 minutes to answer a question that could answered in 2 written sentences. That's my opinion. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival's brand ambassador, John H, often fits this description but I can't think of any big youtubers doing this as they mostly publish 2+ weekly videos about cruise news and when on board have ship tours. We have to remember X's Capt Kate is an influencer and posts some quite entertaining X content sometimes "behind the scenes" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about someone who videos their cabin or takes pictures. Maybe you get lucky and a pool is empty when you want to shoot video. But taking over a space for their own use is not ok. Don’t run around the buffet expecting everyone to wait for you. are you worried them taking photo of your face and putting that online. Most of the good You Tubers try not to take close ups. Tik Tok, well that is another story and mostly silly folks and not like those on You Tube who have a regular channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're in the public, you can legally be recorded without your consent. Celebrity would have to create a "no filming" policy to prevent you from ever being recorded. Actually you´re not in the public on a cruise ship and therefore anyone taking videos needs your consent. Taking a video you also need a consent of the cruise line. When the cruise line is taking videos you get a note telling you that you have to report at the reception if you don´t want to be in that video. steamboats 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is for commercial use they need your consent to use them but not to take them. Otherwise no consent needed. If the cruise line takes videos you are in and they use them you gave your consent and waived rights in your cruise contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted April 9, 2023 #124 Share Posted April 9, 2023 @Charles4515 the last time I had this note was in the Christening Cruise of the Norwegian Prima. So it's not just in Germany 😉. And once more a cruise ship is not the public. DH is a cruise journalist and even when we are on a private cruise we do inform the cruise line that we are onboard and do take photos. Usually the cruise lines are even more strict when you take video. Legally you do need the consent of every person in a video or a photo. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
