Default Anyone notice Ships Live Webcams not accurate lately ??

Randomly I have noticed this last few weeks that some of the Ships
"Live Webcams" are not accurate.
Even to the point of showing October dates on several of the ships.

Has anyone else noticed ??

Over the years of following webcams I have learned not to trust them...
like this one from today..

..should read docked at Tauranga.
Quite often the date is wrong
....location is wrong
...or they do not update and revert to an earlier image.

I wonder if its because, like Cruise Critic, the servers the cams may get routed via are in the US and default to that time zone as an automatic ( in some cases).

Hi David,

Stay safe its been a little rough weather wise today but hey thats
NZ rain,hail,shine,tornado, no matter what month it is....

Re the Webcams I sent Princess a note on this and they responded
saying they would forward an email to the ship. Shows they are watching
the posts..
Also noticed today at 6.03pm NZ time all the Princess Webcams went to 22 October 2012 date and then refreshed the same a couple of times before finally going back to correct dates. Interesting I think the other day same thing happened, it was an October date as well... must have to much time on my hands...haha

Cheers
