Getting ready for your first or next ship inspection and not totally sure what to bring, film, or expect?
I'm breaking down exactly how to prep for a ship inspection, from comfortable shoes and battery packs to the content strategy that'll help you actually use that footage after you're home.
I'm covering the must-get shots like public spaces, cabins, and pool decks, plus tips for smooth panning, protecting kids' privacy on camera, and squeezing every bit of value out of your stories and posts.
You'll also get insider honest logistics like security check-in, tipping servers, and what happens if you run out of time before you've gotten everything on your list.
Whether this is your first ship inspection or your fiftieth, you'll walk away with a game plan for gathering content that actually helps you sell more travel.
