Destiny’s Day at Sea & Tour of Ship

Posted on March 6th, 2010 by admin in carnival ship | 25 Comments »

Tour the Carnival Destiny on a “Sea-day” as it journeys back to Miami from the Eastern Caribbean. I review here film from various areas of the 101-thousand ton mega-ship. Meet the towel animal menagerie in Stateroom #1153. Ride the towering glass elevators to the Spa Deck and check out the views of the Atlantic. See the aft pool area’s retractable roof. Enjoy the solitude and watch the surf from the deserted walkways of Lobby Deck 3. Stroll Destiny’s Way past the Millionaire’s Club Casino on the Deck 5 Promenade, view the Point After Dance Club, the Universe Dining Room and the Palladium Theatre. See the Lido and Spa Deck lounge areas without a soul around and watch the dance of lights in the distance as fellow cruise ships “pass in the night”. Arriving back to the Port of Miami still under darkness, we find Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas already docked. As day breaks over the port, we see the open road ahead and disembark, though still looking back fondly at out date with Destiny…

See the “Days of Destiny” playlist for other videos from this voyage!

Hurricane at Carnival Cruise Line

Posted on February 28th, 2010 by admin in carnival cruise | 25 Comments »

Back in 2005 I took a cruise to Canada on the Carnival Cruise Line. Coming back home to New York we passed the tail end of a hurricane. Everyone inside the cruise were throwing up and feeling sick because the ship was rocking back and forth severely. I though you only get one chance to see how it feels to be outside during a hurricane….so here it goes.

If you enjoyed this, PLEASE subscribe as I always have my camera with me. You never know what’s going to happen :-) . Get out there and LIVE LIFE!!

Carnival in Brazil: Vila Isabel (Narrated in English) Part 1 of 2

Posted on February 19th, 2010 by admin in brazilian carnival | Comments Off

Samba School: Vila Isabel – February, 2005.
Part 1 of 2.

Vila Isabel is a very old, traditional school which almost went into oblivion. It lingered in the Access Group for a long time until recently when it re-joined the Special Group in 1995, with an astonishing championship. After that, in 1996, it hired one of the most energetic up-and-coming carnival designers and has scored very high again in the last few years.

The highlight of Brazil Carnival is undoubtedly the Rio Samba Schools Parade, a totally unique event in the world.

The Rio Samba Parade is the review of a fierce competition between the Rio samba schools. The judges and spectators watch the principal parades in the Sambodromo which was especially built for this event.

The Samba Parade is something everybody should experience at least once in their life. The event is broadcast live to several countries.

The Rio Samba Parade is very distinctive from all other street parades held at some other places in the world. It is not a street happening where people move chaotically about as they like, but more of a highly orchestrated show of vast proportions. Every parader has a specific role and place according to his costume in a particular wing, of a particular section of the samba school he/she is parading in support of.

Each year each school chooses a different theme for the Samba Parade. It can be a celebration of a particular period, or, of famous figures of Brazilian history. It may highlight a special event or speak of anything that might move the spirit and imagination; like a special animal, or one of the elements; water or fire, etc. The school has to illustrate the chosen theme through all its work:

• the samba tunes, which are especially written for that year
• the richly decorated floats and costumes of their 3,000 to 5,000 parading members designed by the school’s Carnival Designer (the so called Carnavalesco).

The parade of every school is highly organized and designed. They line up in a unique way to present their pageant.

The costumes are extremely imaginative, colorful, elaborate and detailed. They are truly original, designed and made from scratch each year. They have mirrors, feathers, metallic cloth, silk and sometimes gems or coins. These costumes take months to make. The work starts roughly 8 months in advance.

You may think of the whole event as a tropical opera or rather like several operas happening on one night. It is beautiful to watch and the experience for the paraders themselves is so intense that the memories last for a lifetime.
