How to see the ship without any guest in your pictures.

:lmao: How to see the ship without any guest in your pictures. I took 2,500 pictures now I have to edit them all and enjoy the pictures. So how did I do it read on. Best part of my March 6th, 4 nights Dream Cruise. I got up at 4AM because I could not sleep. Because I was so excited. I had the WHOLE SHIP TO MYSELF. I mean not one other guest walking around. Imagine a billion dollar ship to yourself. I did this night walk two nights. Went to Meridian in the aft and sat in total quiet open every door in the restaurants and bars sat on lounge chairs everywhere. Walked on every floor playing picture game on the walls. Took more pictures than Corey with no guest in view. I talked with the night crew, which you do not know how much they clean the ship while you sleep. Even wrote the night crew a thank you letter to Disney Cruise. :3dglasses

Sounds awesome! :cool1:

When we went to Disneyland last summer I was still on central time, and kept waking up really early. I had that same experience with the Grand Californian resort! I even wandered out and took pictures of the CA sign with no one in them. Just me and my tripod and my camera. It was awesome.

I'd LOVE to do that on the Dream sometime. Are you going to post the photos here for us to see?

I find one of the easiest times to get empty ship photos is the very first day you board. You can walk around the ship, get to know the layout, and find basically all areas completely empty. Because when people first board the ship, they all do two things: 1. Go to their cabin to see it and drop off carryons, and 2. Find the lido deck for the first free food. EVERYONE hits lido - like they need to get as much food in their mouths as soon as possible to get their money back from the cost of the cruise.

Then, once the cruise is on...then those late night hours, or days in port (when everyone gets off to go see the islands) are the best times for empty ship pics. I've been on 27 cruises and have developed my techniques for ship interior/lounge shots with few or no people in them!
