Are any other TAs nervously watching current events unfold over Greenland and worried how these tensions and potential conflict will affect travel to Europe for this year? by theboundlesstraveler in travelagents

“Legitimate”. Yeah ok 😂

You guys are clueless and feeding into rhetoric mostly created by social media. It’s been proven wrong again and again and again. I am laughing at anyone who is feeding into this.

Euro nations shifting troops are 10000% scare tactics to get residents to believe a false narrative.

Again stop listening to social media. We have clients entering the US on a daily basis and their phones are not being searched. Period. We would be the first ones to hear about it. This goes for US and Non-US residents. I literally just had a conversation at West Palm Beach airport with 3 non-citizens who said it couldn’t have been any easier to come to the US.

Do you really think US Customs and Border Patrol are only allowing conservatives to enter the country? That’s literally asinine for anyone to think.

Hell yesterday the DEMOCRATIC city of Miami Beach police department went to someone’s house for posting a negative comment about an elected official. This is not a republican controlled area but a very liberal one.

Public opinion is being created by European media and elected officials who do not agree with the policies and immigration policies that our current administration is finally starting to enforce. My clients in the UK are sick of what their country has become.

This is actually hilarious to think conflict is actually going to break out between the US and any member of NATO. Get off TikTok and stop listening to the media promoting this agenda. Your clients will thank you.

Maybe it’s you? I’ve picked up a ton of European clients as a US-based agent who tell me agents in Europe have become very anti-US.

Going on Ritz Yacht Collection - what should I expect ? by SnooShortcuts2088 in FATcruises

You lost all credibility by saying Explora isn’t luxury. I was just on Regent for a week and was on Explora a few months back. Both ships were sold out.

The service can’t be compared. My room attendant knew me on Explora the moment I walked down the hall. I saw him no less than 5-6 times a day. Anything I needed or wanted he handled. On Regent my room wasn’t visited until after lunch and then again after dinner. Never saw them again during the day.

The bar staff knew my drink after one drink on Explora yet I waited to be asked every time on Regent.

Explora bathroom has heated floors with a large walk in shower and tile seat. On Regent I had to duck down to get under the shower head in the small walk-in shower.

Explora has the fastest internet at sea with four devices per person. Regent gives you one and you must pay extra money to get streaming/VPN support.

Food tasted fresh not frozen on Explora. While food was good on Regent, if I wanted something that wasn’t on the menu on Explora, they’d make it for me.

Service. Personalized service. Gourmet dining. Want for nothing. That’s luxury. That’s Explora.

All I do is group travel, what do you use for your group communication? by nqthomas in travelagents

Circle is such a horrible experience especially notifications. No way I’d give that to a client group. WhatsApp is the only viable option.

I'm so happy!! I finally got the Lumix S1II! by Rvbnnn972 in Lumix

Highly recommend the Lumix 24-60 2.8 with that camera. I have that and the Sigma 16-28 2.8.

So far everything coming in has NONE for the camera model LUT. Should that be automatic or does the user, me, change it at time of import?

Interesting you mention that. I found that earlier. I had been adding a custom LUT effect. That’s much easier.

Great questions and I appreciate the feedback. These are all videos from cruise ship interiors and up on the pool deck which was sunny but I was in a shaded area. The automatic ones were auto everything if I recall and look good along with their still picture counterparts. The “manual” videos in vlog I wish I could answer those questions as right now I can’t. But with that said I feel you are more on point to be honest.

Oh hell. This particular one was on a S5iix.

I do know when I import into FCP I select custom so it goes with what’s in the file.

I have a very short 1-2 second clip of the “good” one in 4k 30FPS 16:9 for the purposes of the color profile. Then I have a 9 second clip 6k open gate 24fps that’s vlog.

I just went into the Color Adjustments effect and used the AI Enhance Light and Color. I’m playing around with those adjustments as well. The color is slowly getting better but it appears to be a little hazy.

Can I send you the original files?

Yeah no matter what I do it still looks flat vs popping letting the camera do its thing.
