Any experience in taking photo gear on a cruise ship?
I'm not sure if I should bring all my gear with me on a cruise because of all the stories I've been hearing about thefts on thes ship.

Don't ever leave your sheit unattended, this applies to any environment. I'm surprised at how often I see it, and I always alert people when I see it. Heard of a number of people having their cameras stolen at the events I go to. On a ship, even if you lock it in the room, hide it somewhere in there i.e. not out in the open.

I took my 50D, sigma 18-50, and rental canon 70-200mm 2.8IS and it was the perfect setup for my needs. I took the 70-200 into the shows and took pictures with no flash, turned the lcd off, and got some awesome photos!
I just went last month.

Hmm.. Yea if you have to leave anything in your room, lock it up and put it out of plain sight. There is a maid that goes thru each room and could Jack yo sh!t

I left mine out in the bag out on the couch when I wasn't in the room. Along with my iphone, my wife's ipod touch, and my anxiety meds and nothing was ever touched. Honestly, I would expect my meds to be the first to disappear. I am too trusting in some situations.

I treat my camera gear exactly the same no matter where/how I travel. Unless it's locked up somewhere safe, it basically never leaves my side.
So I don't have any real hesitancy taking it anywhere, cruise or no cruise.
