So I went on the photo cruise last year with Gary and about a dozen other photographers and another dozen models, the best experience ever!  Most of the photogs and models keep in touch and have become friends.

I am going to this one, already have my model.  If you are on the fence, jump on board, you will not regret a minute.

We shall "sea" ya all in September.

I am friends with ShelleyLynne and Eric.   I should know by Saturday if I can confirm attending.

I just need to get more details on if I do not bring a model friend with me, how do I sponsor another model to go on the trip?   And does that mean we share a cabin or how does that work?

Hey Craig... checkout the last two pages of models who have expressed an interest in attending.  Contact one of them and make arrangements for sponsorship.  By the time Sept 2nd rolls around, I'm sure we'll have anywhere from 10-14 models and 10-14 photographers (as we have had in the past / this is a one to one ratio event) who will be participating. 

Once you're on board the ship, you and your model can either stay in your planned room together, or make arrangements with other models and photographers to swap rooms.  We have done this several times on past cruiseboat photoshoots with no difficulty.  Either way, there will be no problem keeping all parties content... wink

Wow, need a special invitation?

You can put a deposit now, fully refundable until 6/14 when the final payment is due.  You can lock in the lower rates, remember they go up the closer to the sail date.

Tic toc, tic toc

Zaners ain't lyin either kids... Puerto Vallarta IS AMAZING!  Conchas Chinas beach is probably the BEST beach shooting location on all of Mexico's Pacific coast... and NO OTHER cruiseboat photoshoot will be going to this location except this one.  The movie 'Night of the Iguana' was filmed there... and here's an image of Rosana (taken from her port) shot at this location... borat

Question:   If I sponsor more then one model, how do you suggest signing them up for the cruise?   It is cheaper when you book 2 people from the start.   Will there be a list of people going single so we can have them sign up together to get the better price?   

Or is there a way around it that I am not thinking of.   smile   Craig

Hey Craig... go straight to this link below... click on BOOK NOW... one of Carnival's sales reps will be contacting you with all details.  I had a room with 3 models in it... also had a room with two models and one photographer.  As long as everyone is comfortable with the arrangements, anything is possible... wink

I was considering going on that cruise... BUT... Catalina now REQUIRES photo permits by every photographer who shoots anything close to professional looking modeling shots on the island.  It's in LA County... the most fucked up 'permit happy' county in the USA.  If you don't have one... their beach cops and island security personnel (and they are EVERYWHERE) will force you to stop shooting.  I know this because I was on that cruise last year and they were all up in everybody's face... INCLUDING the promotor of your 10/1 cruise gang.  Ask him and you'll see... wink

Other than getting kicked out of the beach club, I missed that part of it.  We went back to the boat fairly early, pretty much after you and I shot Shalee and the Melissa's on the road.

Yeah you got kicked outta the beach area... we got kicked out of the casino... and two other members of the group got kicked off the pier.  Those island security dweebs were all over Avalon like white on rice.  It didn't used to be like that until about 2 years ago.  Now the LA County permit chumps and their enforcing gestapo squads are like Carl's Jr. hamburgers... all over the place and in your face... tongue

Gary - I am seriously considering this.  Vacation time is the biggest issue (although I swore I would never do another Carnival Cruise this could change my thoughts).  From the way you are pricing this the plan is to share room with our model?  I would probably get a suite or two connecting rooms (I'll bring two models if I go).  Alot of amazing model volunteers.  Really tempting....
