With regards to Braw, there's an increasing number of smaller production units that use a Braw/DaVinci Resolve workflow, many of them users of one or more of the BM Pocket Cinema cameras. The Pyxis is to a large degree a result of a demand from existing Pocket users for a camera with this form factor. Most films are not shot in raw - especially not the ones in the price category this camera plays in. No one wants to have to transcode - and a lot of editing houses just outright don't want raw format.

I found I was getting minutes of capture out of two fully charged batteries. The batteries can be hot-swapped while recording, in the unlikely event of you needing a single clip to last longer than that. The vectorscope display allows you to see the intensity of colors in a video signal at 100% SDI reference levels.

Files are tagged with the correct HDR information which means SDI and HDMI inputs will also automatically detect HDR video standards. Static metadata PQ and HLG formats are handled according to the ST2084 standard. The Video Assist LCD color gamut can even handle 100% of the DCI‑P3 format.

As a result, Blackmagic has to publish a list of SD cards it recommends for its higher frame rates and codecs. Given the company's history of adding features to the Video Assist via firmware, the hope has to be that it's possible to offer proper support for V60 and V90 cards, but they wouldn't comment, when asked. Histogram displays are familiar to graphic designers and camera operators and show the distribution of white to black information and how close the detail is to being clipped. Black video is shown on the left of the display, and whites are shown on the right. All video should usually be found between the 0% and 100% intervals of the histogram display. Video clipping can be bad when you’re on a shoot, as detail in the blacks and whites must be preserved for color correction.

When working in SDI formats, you can record 2, 4, 8 or 16 channels of audio. The URSA Mini Pro 12K sensor and Blackmagic RAW were designed together to make 12 bit RAW workflows in 12K effortless. As an incredibly efficient next generation codec Blackmagic RAW lets you shoot 12K and edit on a laptop, a capability that simply isn’t possible with other codecs. The massive resolution of the sensor means you can reframe shots in post for delivery in 8K and 4K. The advanced design of the sensor and Blackmagic RAW means that you can work in any resolution in post production instantly, without rendering, while retaining the full sensor’s color accuracy. Portable digital film camera with wide dynamic range 4096 x 2160 resolution image sensor, MFT lens mount, large touchscreen, 3D LUTs and Blackmagic RAW, so you can capture Hollywood quality images.

DeckLink IP HD Optical

Designed for professional SDI switchers, you get the features of the Studio Camera Plus, as well as 12G‑SDI, XLR audio, bright HDR LCD, 5-pin XLR talkback, 10G Ethernet IP link and HD live streaming. Tapping the storage icons at the bottom of the heads up display will bring up details and status information about your cards and attached USB-C drives. From here you’ll be able to quickly see capacity and how much space is remaining, how many clips are on each card or drive, and how they are formatted.

That's almost three times larger than a Super 35 sensor and allows customers to shoot with a shallow depth of field or to use anamorphic lenses uncropped for a true cinematic look. Whether users are shooting in bright sunlight or in almost no light at all, the 13 stops of dynamic range with dual native ISO up to 25,600 provide stunning low noise images in all lighting conditions. You get the world’s most advanced solution that combines professional editing, color correction, audio post and visual effects all in one software tool! The Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K features a revolutionary new sensor with a native resolution of 12,288 x 6480, which is an incredible 80 megapixels per frame! The Super 35 sensor has a superb 14 stops of dynamic range and a native ISO of 800.

Filmmaker Georgios "Jun Areia" Tryfonas had great fun shooting ‘Bubble Gum’, an aesthetic focus fashion shoot with Korean model, Bonnie Lee in Seoul. During the shoot a wide range of ISO settings were used and shots in dark environments were attempted specifically to test how the dynamic range is retained during low light scenes. The new Blackmagic URSA Mini Recorder lets you record 12‑bit Blackmagic RAW files onto fast 2.5 inch SSDs, including the latest U.2 NVMe Enterprise SSDs. SSDs such as the latest 7mm U.2 NVMe disks are super fast, delivering data transfer speeds of up to 900 MB/s! This blazing fast performance allows you longer recording times for full resolution 4K, 8K and 12K 12‑bit Blackmagic RAW files in the highest quality Q0 encoding. The unique design of the Blackmagic URSA Mini Recorder means it attaches directly to the back of your URSA Mini Pro 12K between the camera and the battery.

Sigma has announced it will be offering six of its DC DN APS-C lenses for Canon's RF mount, making it one of the first third-party manufacturers to sell RF lenses under license. For our twenty-fifth anniversary, we asked camera and lens makers what they believe to be the most significant products of the past quarter century. The Fujifilm X100VI is the sixth iteration of Fujifilm's classically-styled large sensor compact. A 40MP X-Trans sensor, in-body stabilization and 6.2K video are among the updates. I'm sure the more manufacturers know we care about this, they may implement EVF/LCD's that do support other refresh rates than the economical run-of the-mill 60Hz panels. DPR whenever you review an external monitor please include this information, otherwise to me at least the review is worthless; supported Hz should point A of the review.

Once selected, the scope can be shown as an overlay on top of the video or displayed separately with the video in a smaller window. @Samuel, I believe BM are producing a viewfinder for this camera, that does indicate shoulder mounting is a good possibility. I think with a suitable plate for a shoulder pad, battery power on the back and viefinder, this camera would have good balance on the shoulder. That’s true, but I guess almost everyone will add a bigger monitor and/or viewfinder anyway. I know I would not be confident focusing and framing something important (that other people depend on) on a 4-inch screen. Allows mounting standard 19 inch rack mount equipment in the channel control area of the Fairlight studio console.

Simply connect the phone to the USB-C port and Blackmagic PYXIS will configure for mobile data. Customers can also connect via wired Ethernet using the camera’s Ethernet port. This lets customers get their media out as customers shoot so post production teams anywhere in the world can start work in real time. Optional B4 lens mount with precision optics and spherical aberration correction specifically designed to match the camera’s sensor so you can use your existing B4 HD broadcast lenses. The Nikon Zf is a 24MP full-frame mirrorless camera with classic looks that brings significant improvements to Nikon's mid-price cameras. We just shot a sample reel to get a better feel for its video features and have added our impressions to the review.

Supports video and DCI rates including 1080p24, 1080p47 and 1080p48. Support talkback for up to 8 cameras for Blackmagic Studio Cameras. Includes 12G-SDI for all formats up to 2160p60, front panel mic and headset connections and more.

Some cameras can output logarithmic colorspace to preserve the dynamic range, which is great for later post production, however when these files are viewed on a monitor they can look flat and washed out. 3D LUTs solve this problem because they allow you to apply a "look" to the monitor so you get an idea of how the finished images will look like when editing. LUTs can be applied temporarily for monitoring only, or they can be burned into files for use in editing when capturing Blackmagic RAW. Video Assist works with industry standard 17 and 33 point 3D LUT files, or you can work with the built in LUTs such as Extended Video, Film to Video and more.

Road House review Conor McGregor almost steals riotous 80s remake SXSW Film

road house 2024

“I do believe that there exists a group of people who can work together as adults and as investors to create a really great property. Sometimes you have to get creative,” said Peters, who has explored ways to update the Wright-designed Norman Lykes House. She says she’s looked into having an exclusive documentary made about Wright with Volumedia and offered to work as a project manager for owners looking to use the property as an “experience” rental. In the remake, Gyllenhaal’s character, named Dalton, meets a roadhouse bar owner, played by Jessica Williams (“The Daily Show” and “Shrinking”), who needs a bouncer to protect her Florida Keys haunt from thugs who bring in a character played by real-life mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s ‘Road House’ Attracts 50 Million Worldwide Viewers Over Initial Two Weekends, Amazon Says.

It’s a surreal thing to visit that movie again, bringing the generally hideous 1980s mainstream cinematic experience back with a rush. And then there’s Conor McGregor as Knox, a sociopath who launches like he was shot out of a cannon into the back half of the movie to finish the job with Dalton. Knox brings a spark to a movie that's getting dry, but McGregor’s performance is equally fascinating and baffling, delivered almost entirely through a massive grin like he’s doing a bit at a weigh-in before a match. He struts and smiles like an aggro Popeye, and it feels like Liman told him to go over the top and so McGregor shot to the moon. There are times when his awkward line readings sound abjectly wrong, but maybe that’s intentional? It’s a constant push-and-pull of whether or not McGregor is purposefully awkward because Knox is a sociopath or if the fighter just doesn’t yet know how to put words together on screen.

Even at the very end, there’s an inventive finale to the last fight scene that I can’t describe because it’s too much of a spoiler, but it’s startlingly well done. Turns out I only got the answer at the end — it’s a movie directed by Doug Liman, an erratic talent who nevertheless has given action fans two genuinely great examples of the genre, The Bourne Identity (2002) and Edge of Tomorrow (2014). No idea how I managed to miss that crucial piece of information ahead of viewing. When we find Dalton in this version, he’s living his worst life as a kind of scammer on the underground fighting circuit, showing up in an anonymous hoodie as an apparent nobody challenging the current hotshot taking on all comers. As soon as he removes the hood, he’s recognized as the Dalton, slumming, and the hotshot refuses to fight, thus reversing the betting in a way that benefits the house. He skims off a bit of the profits and goes on laying low in a dreary self-hating way, living in his car.

The next available image after 2007 is from 2011, and by then, the exterior of the house was visibly dilapidated, suggesting that the Astlings might not have been living at the residence full-time. Abram Galbraith graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1918 with a degree in engineering and went on to build the house for himself and his wife, Nadine Moore Galbraith, his grandson Kent Galbraith told Knox News. The house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with an outbuilding that was added in 1950. The abandoned yet beautiful house on Lovell Road has intrigued passersby for years, but the brick and stone structure has now suffered further damage from a fire.

When ex-UFC fighter Dalton (Jake Gyllenhaal) is offered a job as head bouncer at the ROAD HOUSE, he has his work cut out ridding the bar of a violent gang who routinely come in and cause trouble. As Dalton sets about restoring order, he discovers that there might be more to these attacks than first appears. “Part of what makes this really fun to watch is that it doesn't take itself seriously, really at all, and it always lilts on the edge of, like, absurd,” says Jake Gyllenhaal, who leads the action-packed reimagining of the 1989 movie.

Explaining the News to Our Kids

But that’s the weird thing — Jake Gyllenhaal turns out to be a not-bad substitute at the same game. His high Howdy Doody voice and weird Muppet smile and big, blank-eyed, mild-mannered air conveys well the singular effect of a walking lethal weapon who wants above all not to fight. Some movies that were major releases then were so literally ugly, so incompetently made, so grotesquely stupid, so ideologically heinous, they become things of sordid wonder and hilarity when seen afresh.

But whenever “Road House” has to go “extended fight sequence,” you can see ALL the strings. Of course, “Road House” isn’t just about a bouncer at a bar in the Florida Keys. It turns out there’s a lot more to the violence in Frankie’s bar than the local drunks. A real estate power player named Ben Brandt (Billy Magnussen), who inherited an empire from a criminal father, is trying to get Frankie to shut the operation down. Dalton comes in and takes care of Ben’s lackies in a series of scenes that are pretty well-choreographed and conceived. They also set Dalton’s character as the kind of guy who drives his enemies to the hospital after he beats them up.

But the TikTok ban reflects widespread concerns from lawmakers about China. "We believe [because of] the time of night, there weren't people out on the streets, kids playing in the neighborhood, etc. Those are some fortunate facts, but it's still very unfortunate what took place here in this community. They're not going to forget this," Francis said. Under the rule, owners who want to tear down an existing home must advertise it in the local paper for 30 days.

While that may sound harsh, some of the Looney Tunes-esque qualities of this reimagining of the 1989 Patrick Swayze classic work in its favor. Especially in the first hour, when director Doug Liman and Anthony Bagarozzi & Charles Mondry are setting the table for what’s to come, there’s a fun B-movie throwback aesthetic to “Road House” that clicks for long stretches. However, once this defiantly goofy movie starts to take itself seriously, and asks us too often to do the same, the wheels come off with ridiculous twists, awkward line readings, and some of the worst fight CGI in years. Through it all, Jake Gyllenhaal delivers a fun performance that goes from charming to menacing, but even that gets lost in the chaos of a movie that needed to be sweaty, grounded, and urgent to work but becomes more and more like something you’d watch on Saturday morning.

At said hospital, Dalton meets a doctor named Ellie (Daniela Melchior), who challenges his alleged altruism—after all, he just clogged up her ER with a bunch of idiots who wouldn’t be there if he wasn’t such a tough guy in the first place. Obviously, Ellie will be the love interest for Dalton, but the film takes forever to get there and then backs away from their relationship almost immediately, turning elements of Ellie’s life into plot twists. It’s understandable that Dalton is hesitant to be happy again given the trauma that’s revealed about his past, but the dynamic between him and Ellie is one of several in this film that feels uncertain of its own purpose. In the ‘80s movies that “Road House” so desperately wants to be, there’d be actual passion between Dalton and Ellie instead of the tentative stuff that unfolds here more out of narrative necessity. Another Legorreta home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, is listed for sale for the first time ever at $6.99 million.

With its no-holds-barred choreographed fight scenes and the raw sex appeal of its lead, Patrick Swayze, the original 1989 film has become something of a cult classic, despite its shortcomings. 2024's Road House sees a buff Gyllenhaal take on the role of bouncer Dalton, who this time is an ex-UFC fighter with friendly smile that hides some inner turmoil. It becomes clear Dalton has his demons as an early scene sees him park his rundown car in the middle of a railroad crossing, only to change his mind about ending his own life at the last second. It's a scene totally out of step with the rest of the film, which never takes itself too seriously. There's a man-eating crocodile, a baseball bat carrying teenage girl, and one scene where after beating up a gang of five, Dalton himself drives them all to the hospital.

Seller and real estate developer Craig Robbins called Hadid's design contribution "the nicest thing that probably any friend has ever done for me." The Road House bar may be pretty small-time – in fact, some of the film’s enjoyment derives from just how small-town and petty this world is – but the fight sequences are operating on a big, bold, reality-stretching canvas. Big as in crocodile fights big, full cast bar-brawl big, knockout death match between Dalton and McGregor’s cocky (and occasionally bare-assed) hitman big. And the old 1989 Road House has a special place in the action film pantheon, because it’s so delightfully god-awful it takes on a kind of Mystery Science Theater 3000 delirium.

BALTIMORE - A house explosion rattled a community Saturday night in Essex. The Lovell Road home - even its worsened state - has continued to be a source of inspiration for Knoxville's daydreamers and history buffs. Reddit user lovinlemon commented on a post about the house, reminiscing about the house where they grew up nearby. In 2016, the house was bought from the Astlings by Lovell Place at Cornerstone Dr., L.L.C. While not much is available about the company online, some interested in the property have speculated on the company's plans for it.

"There's people that burn a fire and little fire pits, maybe something caught on fire, but not an entire house," said neighbor Logan Lambert. A neighbor shared security video of the scene which showed the explosion and fire. In 2022, the Division of Water Resources at the Knoxville Environmental Field Office prepared a hydrologic features report for the company regarding the property. The earliest Google Maps Street View image of the house is from September 2007, and shows a white van and a small box truck parked outside. Due to blur, it's not clear if the house had begun to deteriorate by then.

Hill, who goes by the pen name David Lee Henry, alleges the Seattle e-commerce giant ignored his ability, under the U.S. Copyright Act, to reclaim the rights for his 1986 screenplay, “Roadhouse,” which spawned the original movie and this year’s reboot, in which Gyllenhaal portrays an ex-UFC fighter who struggles to leave his brawling days behind. Dalton isn’t a security guard who somehow became famous, he’s a former UFC middleweight champ who quit after he killed a competitor in the arena.

TikTok has denied assertions that it could be used as a tool of the Chinese government and has said it has not shared U.S. user data with Chinese authorities. TikTok has lobbied hard against the legislation, pushing the app’s 170 million U.S. users — many of whom are young — to call Congress and voice opposition. But the ferocity of the pushback angered lawmakers on Capitol Hill, where there is broad concern about Chinese threats to the U.S. and where few members use the platform themselves. Thursday, April 24, to the blaze at 3220 Olney Road, and found heavy smoke and flames coming from the front of the home, Fire Marshal Todd Kowalski said. Fire officials say home explosions are not uncommon in the county, and if you smell gas, report it immediately. A neighbor said he smelled natural gas earlier Saturday night and called it into the gas company.

At the Road House, Dalton fends off a motorcycle gang working for local crime boss Ben Brandt and personally drives the injured thugs to the hospital, where he meets Ellie, a doctor who tends to his injuries. Staying in Frankie's disused houseboat, Dalton mentors the other bouncers and becomes popular with the locals. After an attempt on his life by gang leader Dell, Dalton finds him lying in wait at his houseboat. He throws Dell overboard but is unable to save him from being killed and eaten by a crocodile. Road House is a 2024 American action film directed by Doug Liman, written by Anthony Bagarozzi and Chuck Mondry and produced by Joel Silver.

When “Road House” opens, Elwood Dalton (Gyllenhaal) has fallen from grace. We don’t know how, but we know he’s so famous and so physically imposing that he scares combatants (including Post Malone) out of a fight club ring before they even throw a punch. Her establishment has been threatened by local, motorcycle-riding tough guys for weeks and she can barely stay open. Troubled former UFC middleweight fighter Elwood Dalton makes a living scamming fighters on the underground circuit. He is approached by Frankie, the owner of an unruly roadhouse in the Florida Keys community of Glass Key, who offers him a job as head bouncer.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Nine Stories Inks First-Look Film Pact With Amazon MGM Studios Following ‘Road House’ Success - Deadline

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Nine Stories Inks First-Look Film Pact With Amazon MGM Studios Following ‘Road House’ Success.

Forbes reporters follow company ethical guidelines that ensure the highest quality. Follow Roeloffs for continued coverage of streaming wars, pop culture news and trending topics. The home Louis M. Naidorf, famous for his design of the Los Angeles landmark Capitol Records building, designed as his personal residence in 1964 has listed for sale in California for $2.37 million. Walls of glass and wooden floors emphasize the indoor-outdoor design of the 3,287-square-foot home on a half-acre lot in Woodland Hills.

The sale never went through for a number of reasons; one was China, which imposed stricter export controls on its technology providers. The company has good reason to think a legal challenge could be successful, having seen some success in previous legal fights over its operations in the U.S.. In November, a federal judge blocked a Montana law that would ban TikTok use across the state after the company and five content creators who use the platform sued. The bill’s quick path through Congress is extraordinary because it targets one company and because Congress has taken a hands-off approach to tech regulation for decades. Lawmakers had failed to act despite efforts to protect children online, safeguard users’ privacy and make companies more liable for content posted on their platforms, among other measures.

Then, cost-cutting measures, like using more frozen foods, implemented by the new owners pushed the Sofers over the brink. Indeed, over the course of nearly two decades the Sofers built a loyal customer base, thanks to the fresh food they served daily, and hospitality shown by the employees, owners and staff. For those preferring choreography and performance to a lookie-lookie director armed with a drone, “Boy Kills World” will disappoint, even as the music by Ludvig Forssell and El Michels Affair provides suitably thumping accompaniment. Get Screen Gab for everything about the TV shows and streaming movies everyone’s talking about. What made the Cat King particularly fun for Gage is that he is untrustworthy and a liar, even to himself.

They are not required to offer the house for free, but in practice, many owners offer it for free to incentivize its removal. Many homeowners on Nantucket who want to rebuild can't just knock down the homes on their properties. Some offer up the structures for free to those willing to take them off their lots. "Erosion takes out houses, roads, infrastructure, sewer beds, even airport runways," he told Business Insider. In 2020, hurricanes eroded the properties, and the town ordered one of the two homes on the land demolished, according to a Vanity Fair story published at the time.

Complete with a roof terrace, staff quarters, private gardens and lap pool, the 8,000-square-foot residence has three bedrooms and five bathrooms. The home was built on a double lot in 2005 for its original owners, who have lived there ever since.

That's how much a 4,700-square-foot home designed by architect Joseph Esherick sold for in April after the former owner received a sight-unseen offer, according to Sotheby’s International Realty. The house is a four-bedroom, four-bath dwelling across the street from Presidio National Park and represents the third most-expensive single-family home sold in San Francisco so far this year. A 1950s home built in Southern New York by Marcel Breuer, one of the famed Harvard Five group of architects and an AIA Gold Medal recipient, is on the market for $1.8 million. The current owners added a one-story office at the end of the original house that brings the home's current square footage to 2,292 with three bedrooms, a distinctive butterfly roof and original bluestone flooring. A Sullivan Canyon home designed by Cliff May, called "the father of the California ranch house" by the L.A.

The home changed hands between two Sternlicht-linked trusts in 2016, the year he got divorced, for $1.6 million. Excavators demolished the home on Hummock Pond Road this week after a series of storms severely eroded the property. After waiting in the appropriate line according to the time on your ticket, it is time to show your treasures to a generalist appraiser who will give you two appraisal category tickets for the items you've brought. There are over 20 categories in all, everything from Folk Art to Furniture. On the day of the event, please plan to arrive at the venue no earlier than 30 minutes before the entrance time on your ticket. Present your ticket to the volunteers at the entrance and your ROADSHOW adventure begins.

Do you live in Nantucket and have a story about the effects of climate change on the island? "The owners didn't do anything fast enough — they've known these houses are going in the drink," Lockwood said. The tony island of Nantucket is a favorite among billionaires like former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and Blackstone leader Steve Schwarzman. Sternlicht's neighbor is James Pallota, the investor and former Celtics minority owner. Pallota also owns a nearly 3-acre lot further inland with an assessed value of about $7 million.

Copyright Office in late 2021, requesting that the copyright revert back to him when United Artists’ claim was due to expire in November 2023. United Artists released the original movie, which featured Patrick Swayze. Crisply edited and gorgeously shot, the new Road House is aided by the setting, with the beautiful Dominican Republic doubling for the Florida Keys. The script is often funny, and the new supporting cast is surprisingly endearing. The obligatory romance is downplayed and handled far more gracefully that in the first film, with the charming Daniela Melchior instead of Kelly Lynch as the doctor who patches up Dalton’s wounds and decides she likes him even if he does jam up the emergency room with his many punched-out victims. Admittedly, dance-trained romance film heartthrob Swayze of Dirty Dancing fame also cut an odd figure in the action genre, but he was so out of place, it became part of the overall, campy, so-ludicrous-it’s-good effect of Road House ’89.

Initially hesitant, Dalton takes up the offer after narrowly averting a suicide attempt with a freight train that destroys his car. He takes a bus to Frankie's establishment, called simply The Road House, and befriends Charlie, a teenager who runs a bookstore with her father, Stephen. Sometimes, all it takes is a famous designer’s touch in one room to make a listing stand out. A house in Miami Beach that sold for $36 million last year included a bathroom designed by Zaha Hadid—a famed architect and personal friend of the sellers. Called the "crown jewel" of the house by the Wall Street Journal, the bathroom's unique design included a curved shower and bathtub that stretched the expansive length of the wall.

Do You Have to Go Naked on a Nude Cruise?

On another occasion at sea, the marina at the back of the boat was opened so we could swim, kayak or just lazily float directly in the sea. Remember to pack appropriate attire for these occasions, such as casual sundresses, shorts, and t-shirts. Additionally, consider bringing a sarong, cover-up, or light robe for lounging around the ship. Bare Necessities allows solo travelers but they will have to pay the 2-person cabin rate upon booking. There are usually clothing-optional areas on board, and you can expect the atmosphere to be quite sexy. Websites like Castaways Travel Reviews provide valuable insights and reviews from travelers who have visited various nudist resorts, helping you make informed decisions when planning your vacation.

Cabin Comfort

Bare Necessities will again offer special workshops, lectures and Bare Fest events (costume parties) to make your bare cruise experience even better. There aren’t currently any gay nudist cruises on large cruise ships. However, the company Gay Sail arranges gay nude cruises on yachts and catamarans that hold up to 14 guests. Our adventure at sea leaves Port Canaveral bound for Labadee, Haiti before returning to a new Port of Call for Bliss in Freeport, Bahamas. You can also choose playtime back on board, enjoy specialty themes and have great excuses to attend Meet & Greets as well as fun workshops for adults only. Remember, the key to packing for a nude cruise is to balance the freedom of minimal clothing with being prepared for the activities you wish to participate in, both on the ship and during shore excursions.

Signed Consent form required by Royal Caribbean and Bliss for Acceptable Rules of Behavior.

There are usually some areas of the ship where clothing is mandatory, such as in the dining room during meal times. It’s perfectly natural to get aroused at times, but you should always make sure to control yourself and refrain from any public sexual activity, just the same as you would if you were fully clothed. However once off the ship you may go and find nudist areas within the location and some of these may well be arranged excursions for nudists. For some, it’s about enjoying the sun and the sea without having to worry about tan lines. The most popular company that offers this type of cruise is Bare Necessities.

Clothing

Therefore if you book a nude cruise, you can be sure you will be amongst like-minded people who enjoy being clothes-free. A nudist cruise is simply a cruise where passengers are allowed to be naked in certain areas of the ship, and it’s usually done for fun and relaxation. Nude cruises are becoming increasingly popular, with many enjoying the freedom and relaxation of being naked in a safe and accepting environment. Castaway's clothing-optional Bliss Cruises are the most fun nude couples can have afloat.

Bare Necessities is considered the best option for seniors seeking a nude cruise experience and in fact, many of the passengers are over 60 years of age. Now they charter much larger and well-known cruise ships including more recently Carnival Freedom and Carnival Pride. There are a few different types of nude cruises,  and it’s essential to make a clear distinction because they cater to different markets. Nudity is typically optional at nude vacation resorts, allowing guests to choose their level of comfort and participation in clothing-optional activities. Yes, there are resorts specifically designed for nude couples' vacations, offering privacy, romance, and a sense of freedom in a clothing-optional setting. A nude vacation resort is a destination where guests can be clothing-optional, creating a relaxed and natural environment for sunbathing, swimming, and socializing.

Caribbean Hotspots

If you're considering a nude cruise – or just want to learn more about what clothing-optional cruises are like – let us help you answer some of the most frequently asked questions. Adding a theme to your nude cruise experience can enhance your journey, making it more personal, engaging, and memorable. It’s a way to add an extra layer of excitement, novelty, and specificity to the general cruise experience. The beauty of nude cruising is that it offers a blend of the exhilarating freedom onboard with the splendor of global destinations.

The sailings are for adults (age 21 and older), and they're for couples only. When possible, your ship will provide the option to visit nude beaches, which could include the cruise line's own private island or beach resort. Cabins and suites offer a wide range of amenities from Concierge services, to menu upgrades and spa access, to wet bars and butlers in the suite class. Determine which perks will make your vacation complete before finalizing a cabin. Your cabin rate includes dining venues with meal beverages water, tea, coffee, and juices.

Embrace the excitement of nude flashing and public nudity at its finest. Sign up early once it goes on sale….it’s typically a sell-out … and lots of fun for diners AND the wait staff. These cruises provide a safe and discreet environment for exploring non-monogamous relationships, making them a distinct subset of adult-oriented vacations. Mainstream cruise lines no longer offer topless sunbathing areas, reflecting a shift towards family-friendly environments and accommodating diverse cultural sensibilities. Your days are filled with various cruise activities without the restraint of clothing. The onboard experience offers everything you’d expect on a regular (vanilla) cruise.

For those interested in a naturist or nudist cruise, check out offerings by companies like Bare Necessities, which specializes in nude vacations. First and foremost, it’s essential to confirm the type of cruise you are booking. As you begin your search, you’ll come across both nudist and swinger cruises, and it’s important to choose the one that aligns with your preferences. Swingers cruises are usually limited to couples, and some may have age restrictions. These cruises, like those organized by Temptation, Desire and Bliss Cruises, create a more erotic atmosphere, and you can expect engaging activities, workshops, and themed parties throughout your vacation.

You'll want to check the theme party situation on your nude cruise before you go, as you will want outfits and, perhaps, some body paint to match the vibe. Also note if there are any formal nights where you'll need not only clothing, but nice clothing. Swingers engage in consensual sexual activities with others outside their committed relationship for recreational purposes. While you might see public nudity on a swingers' cruise, it's often not a requirement.

All fellow nude cruising travelers are required to dress for meals in the dining room, at specialty restaurants, or at gala events like the captain’s cocktail party. Leave the cold weather behind and join us for a one-week warm water adventure in February to our favorite ports in the Caribbean. We have wonderful beaches to visit in Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico. The tropical white sand beach in the cruise port of Mahogany Bay on the island of Roatan is exclusively ours. We will once again be aboard our favorite Fun Ship, the Carnival Pride with three relaxing fun nude days at sea to enjoy all of the entertainment and activities around the ship. This cruise is the perfect fit for all of our bare cruisers with limited Nakation time.

We had a wonderful time and everyone…

There is no spa or salon, but the reception desk may be able to recommend possibilities to you in ports. Activities are designed to highlight the areas through which you are sailing, including local musicians, demonstrations, minor theatrical performances, and games. Activities and lectures are as rich in history and culture as the ports themselves. Itinery was interesting, and land excursions were good. Can't wait to sail with American Cruise lines again. Smaller ships are SO much better than huge crowded ones.

A Beginner’s Guide to Traveling on Points and Miles

On our sailing, most passengers seemed satisfied with their introduction to the South on American Splendor. About 40 percent of the people onboard our cruise signed up for another voyage with the line. We personally loved the spacious cabins, the cute rocking chairs on deck and the friendliness of the crew. As long as you're aware of the demographic onboard and don't mind a less active vacation, American Splendor can provide an excellent experience. Tried my first cruise with ACL this year, the Lower Mississippi cruise itinerary. People who write reviews have ownership to edit or delete them at any time, and they’ll be displayed as long as an account is active.

The small ships make every cruise interesting as you can go to towns that nobody else can visit. They have itineraries all over the country and different types of ships. Weve been on the paddleboats and the new ones that have a modern design. Both are nice, but the modern ones are the way to go in our opinion. This distinction enables the company to offer all-domestic cruises that visit only U.S. ports of call along both U.S. rivers and coasts. The Line offers over 50 itineraries, which range from 6 to 60 Days in length, and explore in 35 U.S. states.

Or, you can just relax with a book or the TV remote. Whether you just need some "me time" or are looking to meet new people, Norwegian features an extensive inventory of single cabins called studios. These staterooms are an average of 100 square feet with a full-size bed and separate sink and shower areas. Cruising is a popular way for travelers to visit multiple destinations for one price.

If you want to do Riverboat Cruising…

Staff on our floor were very accommodating, as was pretty much all crew, guides and bus drivers.Food was prepared well, portions reasonable and options for a half-order or changes to the menu on the fly. So nice not to worry about preparing the next meal, like at home! I would have liked a "lunch bar" similar to the breakfast bar on Deck 4. That would have some MYO sandwich options or some small salads, or maybe a self-serve pot of soup. We boarded in New Orleans the afternoon prior to our day of departure, this included an excursion the next morning to the New Orleans WW2 Museum (Fantastic) Our room on board the ship was absolutely first class. We finished our cruise in Memphis, with a Graceland tour (the best) We will definitely be sailing with American Cruise Lines again, we cannot recommend them highly enough.

American Glory Itineraries Will Focus on the U.S. East Coast

Attire is casual at all times, but you are free to dress up for cocktails, dinner and the evening show. Unlike large cruise liners, there are no formal nights on The Melody. There is no spa onboard, but most riverboats don’t offer such amenities. There are complimentary excursions at every port, or you can choose from inexpensive ($25-$45) tours. One of the biggest advantages of cruising with ACL is that all food and drinks (including almost unlimited alcohol) are included in the cost of the cruise. We enjoyed our excursions, and will be taking another cruise in June, our 6th.

I found the ensemble of couches and upholstered chairs a perfect place to plop down for lectures or casual conversations with other passengers. The Independence was docked right in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor — in the very center of the action. We parked in a garage across the street, rolled our luggage one block to within site of the ship, and handed our bags to ACL crew members, who promised to deliver them to our stateroom pronto.

Chefs provision at each port and utilize local or regional ingredients as much as possible. So, this being a Chesapeake Bay cruise, the emphasis was on crab every which way, seafood, and fresh oysters. The bedding was plump, soft, and dreamy, almost impossible to emerge from in the dawn hour.

First cruise and had a great time with my sibling's October 2022. Well planned excursions and Bob the bus driver made the experience the best. He retired the end of October and will definitely be missed. Have told many people about this cruise and look forward to going on another American Cruise Lines adventure.

Port of Miami Cruise Port and Terminal Information

If you are travelling in from the Interstate, look for the signs for the PortMiami tunnel. It’s a quick and free way to get directly to the port without having to get off the Interstate and drive in downtown Miami. Often thought of as part of Miami, it is a separate and distinct municipality. The popular beach destination on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean is home to several oceanfront resorts, sandy beaches, and colorful South Beach. Similarly, there are rental car companies that provide courtesy shuttles after you drop off your vehicle.

Preparing for Your Cruise from Port Miami

Terminal ACurrently one of the crown jewels of the Port of Miami, Terminal A is exclusive to Royal Caribbean and is a monument to the cruise line. Featuring a modern styled look, Terminal A is at the far east end of the port, and is large enough to handle Royal Caribbean’s biggest ships, which are the largest in the world. The Miami cruise port sits in a perfect location, on Dodge Island just over the causeway from downtown Miami. About three miles from the open waters of the Atlantic, the port is protected from the ocean yet still close enough to make it a short time to get out to sea. When it comes to cruising, there’s simply no bigger — or busier — port than the Port of Miami.

PortMiami Cruise Terminal Information

Note that we don’t recommend or suggest against any particular company as we haven’t used them. All of the following, however, can give you a good start for your search. While rates are pretty low, if you are traveling in a group of three or more, we’d suggest a taxi or Uber/Lyft as they will be comparable in cost but give you a private ride. For more details and rates on using rideshare services to get to the Miami port, read our article here.

Immersing yourself in the local culture and sights can add an extra dimension to your cruise vacation. There are usually dozens of them working in the terminal, making the line move quickly. When it’s your turn, you will set up your onboard spending account, get your room keys and then proceed to the ship.

The required minimum number of ship calls (per fiscal year) is 45, which is 15 more than the previous agreement. Royal Caribbean is leasing the land for an initial 20-year period (until 2048) at base rent US$9,5 million per year (annual increase 1,5%). In addition to the base rent, Miami-Dade County receives US$5,50 per cruise passenger in excess of 1,55 million pax.

If you're young and traveling with friends, the Moxy South Beach (starting at 30,000 points per night) was designed just for you. While it might not have all the amenities more upscale hotels have, it's got great views and rooms with quad bunk beds. There are sometimes buy one, get one free airfare opportunities when flying to these airports.

Public transportation from nearby airports or hotel district

The plans for the new Royal Caribbean terminal were approved by Miami's Board of County Commissioners on July 7, 2016. Under the agreement, RCCL fully financed the construction, except US$15M that PortMiami paid for infrastructure/road works. On July 8, 2021, MSC and Fincantieri signed a contract for the construction of PortMiami's newest MSC Cruise Terminal. The project (valued ~EUR 350 million/~USD 414M) was signed by Pierfrancesco Vago (MSC) and Giuseppe Bono (Fincantieri). In July 2018, Miami-Dade County and MSC signed an agreement for extended preferential berthing rights and MoU for building a new "Cruise Terminal AAA" at PortMiami (company's exclusive homeport in the USA).

The 2-story terminal covers a total area of 3557 m2 (38280 ft2). The new terminal was officially opened/inaugurated on December 7, 2017, MSC Seaside's scheduled dock in PortMiami was on December 21, 2017. Transatlantic crossings from Europe to Florida usually depart from the UK (Southampton, Dover, Harwich) or Mediterranean (Barcelona, Civitavecchia-Rome, Piraeus-Athens) and often stop in Bermuda (Kings Wharf).

Interstates 95 and 395 are less than five minutes away, and Miami International Airport is about a ten-minute drive from the port. In late-October 2019 was approved the agreement for Brightline Miami to be rebranded "Virgin Trains" and Virgin Group to build a train station (Virgin Trains PortMiami) at the cruise port. The new station serves high-speed trains and connects PortMiami directly with the USA's intercity railway system and Orlando International Airport. Construction works on Virgin Trains PortMiami are scheduled for completion in 2022.

Each terminal at Miami Port has its own unique set of features and is assigned based on the cruise line and ship size. Due to the dynamic nature of cruise schedules, passengers are advised to check with their cruise line for specific terminal information. Terminal D was opened in 2007 and upgraded in 2013, while Terminal E was last renovated in 2018. These terminals provide comfort and security for Carnival Cruises passengers, with modern infrastructure, a rich offering of food and beverages, and entertainment options for all ages.
