I'm thinking about making a little banner for sail away. Anyone have any pointers?
I've seen a lot of people on Disney ships holding poster boards and even a few banners when watching the Port Canaveral webcam as they sail by Fishlips. After they pass by then they put them down. I ordered mine from Vistaprint. If you get the small one it's free all you pay is shipping. Oh I've also seen flags from different countries. People were holding them off the side of the ship.
Thank you for the useful response. This is exactly what I mean. Why would I have a banner on my veranda at sea? Who would look at it?
You're welcome. I knew what you meant. I watch the webcam every time a Disney ship leaves. My 8 year old is so obsessed with it. Our banner is simple. I got the small one since it was free. We're going to hold it up as we sail by Fishlips. All it says is Hi Nana, then it has the city and state where we live. My mom is going to watch the webcam the day we leave so she can see her surprise. My son wanted to do the banner so his nana could find us easy.
Just some advise, make sure you use bold font on the banner. I've noticed a lot that were hard to read even when the webcam guy zoomed in. I have a white banner with bond font and used red for the font color.
He zooms in and scans all the way down the ship mostly on the pool deck. Make sure to start waving when you get close to fishlips. He'll zoom in really close.Being that you've watched the web cast quite a few times, do you recommend a particular spot to be in so that your poster board might be in camera view? I've told my family to watch the web cam when our ship is departing.

Where can I find this webcam?
You can request a "zoom" from the webcam people. I did and they even called me before boarding to make sure where we would be standing. We followed on on iphone and knew when they were getting close and then we waved like crazy. They zoomed right in on us and our family and friends around the country even took screen shots and us. Very cool.

No doubt this will rile a few but I personally dislike ALL variety of posters/banners. (with the exception of passengers waving small country flags) I think they ALL look tacky and make an elegant ship look tacky also. Probably the reason DCL frowns on them.
