Costumes - Are they still being shot? - 2011/07/08 23:50 As the newest photog back then I was forced to dress up as a chef and carry around an ugly wooden cake standing next to everybody at the restaurant tables. I was totally shocked from this at that time and refused doing it but then the chef way or the gangway argument came up giving me a real dilemma. Then some Russain crew members suggested 100g vodka as a solution. I went for it and I survived the shoot. Later through my carrier as a cruise photographer I was penguin, Alibaba, polar bear, mexican, clown, a pink seal and probably a number of other figures.

There was always somebody insisting on shooting these things. I never got to like it and alway thought it's more bother for both the photographers and the guests than the money it was bringing in but letting go things that was already shot was unimaginable that time. Are they still doing this?

Will snap for beer.

Re:Costumes - Are they still being shot? - 2011/10/26 03:50 OK. I know the answer. They still do it. I've just been on the Carnival Valor and I definitely saw pirates. What's more now even passengers wear costumes. Seen cowboys at some wild west backdrop setting. They were going for it. How strange. Will snap for beer.
