I mean does cruise ship have safe deposit box?

And got time to take photos? Or just just bring a point and shoot will suffice?

Not sure about Star Curise, but Royal Carribean does have a safe box (like those in the hotel) in the cabin. But I think you will most likely carry it everywhere you go cos got lots of things to shoot. If you intend to leave it in the safe box (will means you will not be shooting most of the time) then don't waste time, bring a PnS will do :p

cannot do long exposure thoguh.. just to note

the ship is moving. :bsmilie: unless it is docked

so don't really need tripod.
 

Why cannot bring? It's just like any other of your valuables. You take care, can even bring to Afghanistan.
 

Just don't drop it into the sea.

nvr go on cruise b4...no $$ :cry:

of course got time to take photos lor...u decides de mah...:bsmilie:
 

Sun raise and sun set. hmm.
 

Ok. To bring to cruise, assume you are taking sun rise and sun set and er... pretty ladies, what equipment you need to bring?

Body,
what type of lens?,
Flash???
tripod???
 

I suggest you bring CPL filter along as the daylight can be very strong to cause reflections etc if you want to capture sea and clouds.
 

Dude... Just bring what you can bring. You'll want to enjoy your cruise, not remember how you lugged an entire camera store onto the cruise.

You can bring your entire gear, purchase every single lens at your preferred store, bring just your dSLR and your favorite lens, bring a point-and-shoot compact camera, a phone with a built-in camera... the list goes on...

So the bottom line is, know what you want to shoot, and just bring the required equipment. Want some "seascapes"? Then maybe a CPL. Just you and your family & friends having fun? Anything will do.

Which brings me to my second point. Whatever equipment you eventually choose to bring, just make the most out of it.
 

just remember 1 thing u go there to enjoy dont stress yourself bout camera stuff
it the experience that make you happy and not picture haha
so go enjoy your trip :)
dont bombard me if i say anything wrong correct me instead haha
 

hmmm.. most valuable advice.. *wink*

Hah! You'd be surprised if you actually know the kind of valuables that gets lost in the sea on every cruise...
 

i guess a P&S will do... thats nth much to take on the boat that a P&S can't handle... sunset/rise? no problem, a compact can handle that. most impt; go there enjoy .. not shoot!
