Carnival Fantasy Bahama Cruise Photos

I had never been on a cruise before. Neither had she. Let me tell you, booking a cruise to the Bahama's during early February was an awesome idea! Not only did it give a good backdrop to get engaged, it was perfect for curing those winter blah's. It was like stepping into the middle of summer!

Perfect blue water, white sand beaches, cheap Caribbean rum, it was all there! Just like in the movies! Here are a few shots from our trip!

Alright let me rant for a second here... These "photographers" on the ship are a total crock! This was one of the backdrops they were using to take beautiful "portraits" in front of! Not only do they use a full on frontal flash, they try to charge you 22$ for a mediocre 8x10" print of each image! Alright back to my photos...

Oh yea... I got engaged! Thank you to the people sitting in front of me for taking this!

  4. Nice photos man. And congrats. Actually i did congrats you on the ship as well, you probably don't remember me. I was working as photographer back on that ship in that time.

    I just need to disagree with one comment.

    "These "photographers" on the ship are a total crock! This was one of the backdrops they were using to take beautiful "portraits" in front of! Not only do they use a full on frontal flash, they try to charge you 22$ for a mediocre 8x10" print of each image! "

    ^ Let me just say that from team of 10 photographers i was only photographer who is actually a real photographer. Those other guys (photographers) are just seeking good job(non of them is from USA)... company have they own rule... about prices, light and studio setups. We are not even allowed to change output power on flash lights in the studio, everything is written in the "manual book" which we get when we get onboard, damn we can't even set our own exposure, company set as targets, for example, formal night studio shots 500 shots per each photographer, gangway 1200 images per each.. etc, you probably notices photographers everywhere.. well those guys are not so boring cuz they like it, its just a Carnival policy, if you don't get target you are fired simple :) And i don't even want to mention annoying indian manager who is up on your ass all day bugging you cuz you didn't reach image target, or you didn't sold enough pictures... xD

    Cheers
