Hi everyone, First time post here. A group of my girlfriends and I are taking a trip to Cancun soon and are interested in doing the Boobs Cruise, although a couple of us are a bit nervous but we figure it's a good place to sit at the back of the boat topless and people watch. But a couple of us have a dealbreaker really because they are teachers and can't appear in pictures on it. Going to the Facebook page shows lots of people on the boat and standing in line. That's perfectly fine if these people want to be in the pictures, but that's a no go for some. Our questions are this: 1. What are the pictures and camera policies while getting on the boat? 2. What are the pictures and camera policies while on the boat? Thank you very much for your help!
We just went on the Boobs Cruise for the first time 4/16. Theres absolutely no phones or cameras allowed. If the crew sees one, they will take it and wont give it back until the cruise is over. They take there own pics/videos, but only include people who want to be included in them. The people who sit in the back of the boat and people watch miss out on all the fun that goes on in the front of the boat! We were nervous as well, but stayed up front the whole time and participated in the games, which were fun and harmless. Also, the crew makes a point to make fun of the people who sit in the back of the boat and just watch and dont participate.
No The staff do a great job of making sure nobody has a f’ing camera. Everyone fees vulnerable so only douche bags would go as far as taking photos. If I thought someone took a pic of my wife I’d throw the phone overboard. 99.99999% of people are super respectful. I wouldn’t worry.
No cameras or picture taking is allowed! With that being said. People still bring their cameras. Everyone on the boat is very respectful of the camera rules. If your going to take a pic. Make sure your backdrop is the ocean except when skinny dipping.
I have been on about a dozen boobs cruises and have seen phones every time. Have never seen the crew take one away. At some point during the cruise the crew will let everyone know that it is a good time to take photos and that if you don't want to be in them to move towards the back. I have photos of myself and my wife with Chinos, Omar and Sara from almost every cruise we have been on. The crew makes it clear at the start that photos and videos are not allowed randomly during the cruise. They will let every one know when there is going to be photos taken and tell everyone if you would like to take photos now is the time. Any one that doesn't want to be in them will have a chance to move out of the photo. There are always people on the cruise that don't want to be in other peoples photos. My wife and I don't want other people taking photos of us and posting them. It has never been a problem on the Boobs Cruise. It is more of a problem at the resort than on the boobs cruise. Not trying to be argumentative just trying to give you a realistic expectation.
Thank you so much everyone for your responses! I feel like this is a very important topic to a lot of people, so hopefully this post/discussion is helpful to others down the road. Seems like the hosts of the cruise do a good job and I hope they remain VERY strict on picture taking because nothing would ruin a good time like that happening. Just from our review of this forum this weekend, it seems like it's a problem now at Temptation. My BF would act the same way if he were there and thought someone took a pic with me in it. Nowadays, it's just not worth the risk of a picture to have anything less than strict rules on that. Love the fact they announce there's a group pic for anyone interested in it. Thanks again!
What are your dates? Asking for a friend .......kidding! The back of the boat can be as interesting as the front some trips. Though every plan seems to go out the window when Chinos and the tequila punch (or whatever is in there??) start up! Cameras are not a problem on the BC but the resort is becoming another story.......I think it is time to start “crowd sourcing” the cameras away from Bash and the sexy pool.
Ok not sure where the first couple posts are getting their opinions from. Yes they ask you not to but there really is no enforcement. At least not that I have ever seen or heard of. If someone is being blatant then of course they would help in encouraging them to stop if you ask for the help. I would want to understand the risk if I was you and I am sure that is why you are asking. Phones are not typically taken. People can and will take pictures of you. It happens. It is impossible to enforce. If the concern is that great probably not a good idea to go. This is coming from someone whose group ended up on a porn site. It happens. Very very rarely. But it happens. And there were no consequences thankfully. Think there is so much out there on the web these days that the teachers parents will likely not come across it or if they do they will ask you out on a date instead of tattle on you. Just my 2 cents.
Not sure why Kyle's recollections from the handful of times he went many years ago differ so much to those who have been recently and say it is not a problem. I go on around 80 a year, every year and I make the rules, so here they are: My wife takes a live video from the dock as the boat arrives. If Sara69 is working with Chinos she also takes a live video from the boat towards the dock. These are for promotional purposes and streamed in the private Facebook group only, it's not possible for them to be shared outside that group. In any case, identification of individuals is avoided, although there may be an occasional quick long distance crowd shot of the line-up. Once on the boat the MC will ask people to put their phones away in their bags, only take photos at designated times and not to take photos of other people without permission and be conscious of the background. We play the song Selfie and invite people to take pics of themselves and their group (or with staff) only for the duration of the song. Later, we ask those who want to be in a group photo to gather together and one person (usually my wife) takes a group photo. Those that don't want to be in the group photo can easily stay out of shot. That photo is sometimes used on our FB page after being censored for 'naughty bits'. Uncensored versions will be sent only to people present on the day upon request, we receive very few requests. All other pics are generally discouraged although if we see someone taking a harmless pic - their wife driving the boat, a selfie with the ocean as a background etc we let that go. I believe that photos are an integral part of anyone's vacation. On the contrary to Kyle's comment it is very easy to enforce inappropriate use. We normally have 5 crew members, a DJ, 2 Entertainment staff, my wife and myself as owners and a ton of guests all within the confines of the boat. Everyone knows what is appropriate use and what is not. There have been only a very few occasions where we have had to tell people to stop and/or had them delete photos. It's far less of a problem than at the hotel. More of a problem is people taking pics from other boats passing by, but there is little we can do about that. I should also add that if anyone observes any inappropriate pics being taken to report it to one of the owners or crew. Don't start fights or throw peoples property in the ocean, or you may get left behind at the island if you are acting aggressive and spoiling the vibe.
