Valor allowed photos during the evening performances!

The announcer said to take all the photos we wanted but please no video and no flash photography. This is a turn around from other cruises i've taken where they strictly prohibited pictures due to "international copyrights".

I always thought the no photos policy was always only for contract entertainers, not the Carnival dancers, singers, etc.

Noticed this on the Glory and Conquest in the last 6 months. I took a couple during the shows.

On the Sunshine a few weeks ago I was chosen to be in the show, when we talked to the performers told us they now have shows thru playlist that are not copywriter shows so pictures are allowed. They even let us take a video. In all our cruises we don't usually do the shows but for this 70's show we went down early and were picked to be in it, way out of my comfort zone. It turned out to be a highlight of our cruise. Shows are shorter in time witch are better. I think we will start doing more shows.

We have been on a few cruises where they announce no photography of any kind, or videos. I love taking a few photos of the shows, so am always bummed when I can't. And I don't break the rules to do so.

On our Dream cruise in January though, they announced no videos and no FLASH photography so I happily snapped a few photos of each show, and they were the "old" shows with full band, lots of props, many singers/dancers and not the "new" Playlist shows.

Nice change.

On the Sunshine there was no band
