nitnyleo Posted March 30, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Heard that there are thoughts to do a "real housewives" series on a world cruise aboard either HAL or Princess. Is this a good thing? While I won't be aboard, I don't think I'd like a TV crew onboard for a hundred days . . . how can regular passengers not be inconvenienced?

jhannah Posted March 30, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 30, 2009 It's hard to say what inconvenience there might be. I'm sure there would be some ... but maybe not all that much. It would be a great marketing coup for whichever line gets to host it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bepsf Posted March 31, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 31, 2009 It would be a great marketing coup for whichever line gets to host it. ...unless the "ladies" who are being followed during the show are nasty, self-absorbed b****es like the other "Real Housewives". Now if they wanted to do a show about Grumpy and Slinkie going around the world, that I'd watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucory Posted March 31, 2009 #4 Share Posted March 31, 2009 If it was on a HAL ship, or any cruiseliner, there is a good chance I would watch it... More intriguing would be a Real cruiseliner worker doco, following the lives of the people making a crust out of service on the high seas.... :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhannah Posted March 31, 2009 #5 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Now if they wanted to do a show about Grumpy and Slinkie going around the world, that I'd watch! A sterling idea! How cool would THAT be? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kryos Posted April 1, 2009 #7 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Heard that there are thoughts to do a "real housewives" series on a world cruise aboard either HAL or Princess. Is this a good thing? While I won't be aboard, I don't think I'd like a TV crew onboard for a hundred days . . . how can regular passengers not be inconvenienced?Trust me. They wouldn't be onboard for 100 days. They would shoot that whole thing during one segment of the cruise and then the film crew would disembark in order to take the footage back to their studio and edit it. There is no way any tv network is gonna devote 100 days to shooting a television series. I doubt very much the other passengers would be at all inconvenienced by the filming. Oh, the crew may occasionally take over a bar or lounge during the daytime, when it wasn't getting much use anyway, but I think the excitement of having a film crew onboard and the possibility of seeing yourself in various background scenes and whatnot would more than make up for what little inconvenience there would be. I think the idea of shooting a series on a cruise ship is an absolutely wonderful idea, and I would probably watch ... at least the first episode to see how well it was done.

A number of years ago, Scotty was aboard the 12th cruise of Zuiderdam when MTV was filming a documentary about the RSVP Charter. The film crew had to alert all passengers that if anyone didn't want their face to be shown, that they had to get their photograph taken so they could be edited out.

In point of fact, those shows are shot over a 3-4 month period, and in some cases longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitnyleo Posted April 1, 2009 Author #11 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I once lived in LA and was inconvenienced a number of times . . . the worst being when they overtook MY beach (after I called off sick so I could take a mental health day) . I can understand the "fascination" of some of the pax. And, perhaps with the newer/smaller cameras, they will be less obtrusive than they were . . . but movie/tv/news crews tend to be a pain the butt.

So sad. I was watching Celebrity Apprentice for the first time in a long while - Joan Rivers - whoa. :eek: Can't remember what she looked like before, but it is good to be reminded that getting old could be worse. If you get scared looking in the mirror now....I think I'll keep the face I have, thank you!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a movie company using our condo building penthouse for a tv series and they are a nuisance. Hog one of the elevators, equipment all over the place etc. On land there are trucks, and wires and cords everywhere, food stations etc. Probably in the way on a ship too.
