I am traveling on a ship with other well traveled individuals who claim to be professional photographers or at least semi-professional photographers ("Yes, I have had some of my photos published in magazine".) So many of us take liberties on just about everything and anything that could possibly be a great photo opportunity. Yesterday, at dinner, someone had a heart attack and a Code Blue was called over the PA system. This got everyone's attention and it appears as if it caused some people to respond immediately, regardless of how inappropriate. As a result, we were all reprimanded:
“Code
Blue alerts are to summon trained first responders to the site of an
emergency. These alerts should only be
responded to by crew and medical staff. Passengers
are asked to step away from the situation and allow our team to provide the
needed assistance. Privacy in times of
challenges is a privilege that we all deserve.
Please refrain from capturing these tenuous moments. Specifically, we ask that for the privacy of
the compromised individual that you do not take photographs or videos.”
