Read your ticket contract and the cruise-line's policies and procedures. For my recent cruise, buried away in the contract sections nobody bothers to read, was a prohibition against on-board photography for commercial purposes [they don't want competition with their paid/contracted staff photographers] and an open invitation to snap away to your heart's content for your own personal use. [People sharing photos of their cruise is good word-of-mouth free advertising for the cruise lines.]
So, if you whip out a model release, you will be suspected of doing commercial photography and they could do anything from giving you a stern lecture to confiscating your camera for the duration to throwing you off the ship at the next port. I would guess the chances are pretty slim that anybody would notice or care, but why take the chance. stan On Apr 23, 2013, at 12:30 PM, Aahz Maruch wrote: > For my upcoming cruise, I expect that I won't be focusing on people > much, but I'm wondering whether I should still be prepared with a model > release just in case.
