Ready2Cruise2016 Posted July 11, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 11, 2016 My daughter does sign language videos, and wants to do one on our upcoming cruise. She's hoping to maybe do it at sunrise, but anytime really works. Is there a good little 'nook' she can do one, where the background is mostly ocean and scenic? On the Dream, all we found was a spot near the walking track. It wasn't ideal, but doable. our biggest problem was having to move out of the way for those that were walking... which meant a lot of starting over. I feel like we just somehow missed the perfect nooks of the ship, and don't want to do the same this time. I thought about the lanai, but the barriers on those make that area impossible. This is her video on the Dream, to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MistyRo76 Posted July 11, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I believe the Breeze has the "secret decks" that are all the way forward on the mid-ship passenger decks (decks 6 & 7 I believe). Go to one of these decks and walk all the way forward. You will see a door (one on either side of the ship) that takes you out to a public deck that overlooks the front of the ship. These decks do not see a lot of traffic and offer great views of the ocean. Should be an ideal location. Also deck 5 has the Lanai walkway which goes all the way around the ship. Some areas of the Lanai (away from the Ocean Plaza) are pretty quiet and don't have a ton of traffic - esp. at non-peak times of the day. Or if she's 18, you could go up to the Serenity Deck to film.

Misty Those "secret decks" sounds perfect! I had no idea they were there. We'll definitely check that spot out, and hope it works. Thanks for that idea!! We did look at the lanai on the Dream, but the big dark barrier made it hard to see the ocean behind her. I've actually never been on the Serenity.. but she'll only be 12, so that's not an option. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misty We are on deck 7, about midship, so I'm especially excited about this area. I really hope that they don't have the tall dark barriers that was on the lanai. This seems like the perfect spot! I've been searching for good pictures of that area, but so far ... no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RjayB Posted July 12, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Just to clarify something that was said, I am pretty sure Serenity is 21 and over, not 18. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenhem31 Posted July 12, 2016 #7 Share Posted July 12, 2016 This is port side, at the base of the stairs leading to Serenity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I didn't think about the wind. Maybe it would still work if she braids her hair. Definitely something to check out. [ATTACH]389894[/ATTACH] This is port side, at the base of the stairs leading to Serenity. That looks like a great spot. I wonder how many people are usually milling around there.. I'll definitely check that out too! I am making a list to take with us of all the suggested spots. So thank you everyone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the audio needed but a wind screen would be a must out there as well. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkIVette Posted July 12, 2016 #10 Share Posted July 12, 2016 On Starboard side, right before you enter Serenity, there is a spot next to this windbreak/ sign. It is near the start of the water slides. Kids are still allowed there and the windbreak/sign would be perfect for her. Great video and very nice of her to do these videos.

Hoosierpop Posted July 12, 2016 #11 Share Posted July 12, 2016 No clue where would be a good place on the Breeze, but just wanted to say that the video was great. It's a great song and she did that well. Well, I'm assuming well since I don know sign language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ready2Cruise2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Author #12 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Not sure about the audio needed but a wind screen would be a must out there as well. Good luck! She just needs her speaker so she can hear it. We always redo the audio at home so it sounds good. Well, except once, when she signed a song while we were at a concert.

I think our first day we will walk around to all these spots and see what we think will work perfect for her. :) No clue where would be a good place on the Breeze, but just wanted to say that the video was great. It's a great song and she did that well. Well, I'm assuming well since I don know sign language. That's very sweet of you! That was only the 2nd or 3rd one she had ever done. There's many more on her youtube page. She has such a passion for it, and is completely self taught. I don't know how she does it. LOL But I love her heart. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ready2Cruise2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Author #14 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Great place to watch for pier runners, not sure about a video underway. I'll have to remember that!! Sounds like a fun activity. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
