Kalman from Fascination (momentarily)
Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year guys! Too bad our teamblog is such a deserted place... anyway I decided to post some updates about me; and of course to wish u happy holidays.
It is quite surprising but I'm still with Carnival. :) Believe me, I did everything that's inappropriate and/or prohibited at the company (including sleeping with a guest ;)) and still I'm here... But not for so long on Carnival Fuckin' Fascination - in three days I'm gonna join Carnival Dream's staff! The flagship of the fleet that's two times bigger in size and in crew number than this one (the Photo Department itself counts 26 souls). And her destinations, OMG! I came here not for money but for adventure and seeing the world. Yet on Fascination I saw only three ports of this world, and two of them I was aready familiar with from the Imagination-era. Dream has eight exciting new ports including St.Thomas and St.Maarten, my favourites! (Please guys, if any of u sail to Cozumel, Costa Maya, Belize, Roatan Island, Nassau, St.Thomas, St.Maarten or Port Canaveral, or if u saw Carnival Dream on your regular visits in some ports, leave a comment - maybe we can meet somewhere soon.)
The amazing new ship is one thing, but the real benefit of this transfer is leaving this "team". Oh, bouys, the Fascination Photo Team is a huuuuuuge piece of shit. May any of u in the future offered a transfer here, reject it right away without thinking. Jealousy, betrayal, pettiness; the highlights of this bunch of morons. I hated them, they hated me, so that's a win-win situation now (of course I won a little bit more ;)).
Other than that there's not much to say. I'm counting the days left of my first and last contract with Carnival. Just like Zsolt I'm not planning either to ever return. "Been there, done that" - now I know it's not something for me. I'm enjoying my time as much as I can, hanging out in the crew bar every night, going to shore tours, jetskiing, diving; I'm tryin to pack these few months with lasting experiences like it was no tomorrow.
And to be honest, knowing you guys was the most precious gift I get from Carnival. That three weeks we spent together on Imagination is something I will never forget. (That's why I feel so sorry for negligene of the blog.) PLEASE! WRITE! MORE!
Take care - I report from Dream soon.

Olle and merry christmas
Zsolt from Spirit
What's up everybody??Merry Christmas Guys!!I'm sitting now in a restaurant in Ixtapa,this is one of our ports.Sometimes I'm checking if somebody is writing here,but nothing so I'll break the silence :)).Now I'm starting to feel myself good here,actually the only problem is just the manager and some sneaky teammembers but except that everything is fine.My christmas evening sucked because I had to shoot alone,some other teammembers were in the gallery but nobody was onboard because at that time we were in Acapulco,so all the guests were outside to celebrate the christmas.I felt myself so stupid to stand by myself alone in the lobby,and the guests were watching me like what the hell is this guy doin' tonight?!Anyway,now I know that I'll have all the money I need till the end of february,that is 2more month and after that I can finally go home!!!And trust me guys,I'll never come back because this is a big shit,for one experience it was good but this is enought for me.
I don't know how you guys are feeling yourself on the different ships,but I hope you try to enjoy this "adventure"!
Keep in touch guys,I'll let you know what's happening with me if it's possible!

Tex-Mex
Alex from Ecstasy
Howdy, ya'll!
Greetings from the best state of 'em all - the Lone Star Texas, home of liberty, opportunity, and rich farmers, who buy photos with closed eyes in them. Carnival Ecstasy, the new home of Janint and myself, is one of the money-making ships of the Carnival fleet. Not the least because of the nature of our guests here. They are very pleasant, good-natured country folk, who don't get photographed much. They also have plentiful cash in their pockets, so they buy A LOT of pictures, giving us bi-weekly bonuses ))
The first few days on board felt very strange for us. The ship had just returned from dry dock, and most of the crew were new here. No one knew anyone, people in the hallways looked alienated, and crew bar dynamics were subdued. Janint was kind of depressed, actually. The atmosphere is a bit warmer now, as photo team members got a sense of each other's personalities and settled into a routine. Galveston-Progresso-Cozumel. Galveston-Cozumel-Progresso. Galveston-Cozumel-Galveston. 5-5-4. 5-5-4. You know what you are supposed to do, you do it with speed and quality, and then enjoy your free time.
I have to agree with Jimmy, though. I was pretty surprised with the quality of photograghs of many *senior members of the photo team. They make a lot of very obvious mistakes. Bad lighting, shadows on faces, ugly group shots. And the only reason they can shoot the dining room in 10 minutes is because they rush through it without asking anybody, skipping whole tables!!! Take that, Farai!
I miss you, people. We sure had some fun moments together. Stay in touch, and special spasibo to Jimmy for providing the means for it.
Peace & Love
Alex

New ship, old destinations
Ferenc from Miracle
Starting october 27th, we make a special, secret 8 days cruise with Miracle to Fort Lauderdale-Nassau-Half Moon Key- Key West-Cozumel-Fort Lauderdale. Maybe someone will be at the same port with us. I'll post the dates tomorrow.
The destinations are beautiful. I'll post some pictures later on.
The job pretty good so far. We have a pretty good team and a good boss (by the way, she's hungarian, too :) ) I worked in the gallery a lot and not just as a security guard like on Imagination :), I shot all 3 gangways (actually i just stopped the people for the photo), and of course formal night (we have 2 formal nights, 2nd and 7th day), casual night as well. On an 8 day cruise we shot only 4 dinner. I love that.
I have t go now, but i'll come back with more info.
Take care, guys.

Alma Mater
Kalman from Fascination/Imagination!
Guess what! Today I've visited our Alma Mater, Imagination! We are in Nassau and we're docking next to each other. Bojana and the guys were shooting gangway when I said hello to them. :DD. Bojana works her ass out, she's hardly having any sleep she said. Oh, and I met Farai as well!!! :)))
