CruisingKat(Kathy) Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Hi Matt and Community. Not sure if this is ever been brought up before? I do see that there is a topic discussion under the people connect forum, a topic listed "periscope Peeps" I think it would be a great idea, if on the main page of Royal Caribbean Blog, where the different forum's are listed, like Excursions and such, if there was actually a message forum, just for Periscoping posts. That way, anyone interested in watching the periscopes, it would be much easier way for them, to find out who is Periscoping, from what ship, and when. Just a Suggestion however. I have enjoyed watching people periscope from different ships. It has inspired me to periscope, from my two upcoming cruises on Royal Caribbean, Allure of the seas, and majesty of the seas.

Wilson Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 I enjoying watching all the cruise scopes and appreciate the invites. I start following from there. I will do my best to provide some coverage of Liberty next month. @Wilson_cruise_addict CruisingKat(Kathy) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingKat(Kathy) Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Thankfully all of us who love Periscoping do Share with Each other, and our Friends that may not know someone else is scoping, but to have a special msg forum just for people to post where they are going to be scoping from would be cool too. ðŸ˜ŽðŸ›³âš“ï¸ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Love the idea, Kat. Question for everyone: what is more useful: One forum with a number of forum threads for each person who is going to be broadcasting or a curated single thread (similar to the When is your next cruise thread)?

I'd vote for one forum with a number of threads. And ideally each would be entitled with the ship name and sailing date, that way if I was interested in a specific sailing it would be easier to find...

bcarney Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Also, I'd like to point out this service https://katch.me - I haven't used it (too shy to Periscope) but apparently it "catches" Periscopes and allows for future viewing. I think this might be a great way to build up a collection of videos about RC ships. CruisingKat(Kathy) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very Awesome site, and a very good resource for those who enjoy cruising, and are addicted to cruising, like myself. (I like doing research for my Cruises), being more accessible on main page. I think would also promote, more people to post as well, when they are Pericoping, or to share information, if they know of someone that is Pericoping from a certain ship or area, like Billy scoping the ships pulling out of Port Everglades.(That was Great to watch) DunkelBierJay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugsyCruiser Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Hello friends! I really like the idea as well of a forum with a number of threads. I just started using Periscope a couple of weeks ago so definitely love the idea of this as it would definitely let everyone know when your periscopes will be happening. My first ever post on here and now time for bed. See you all tomorrow! :) CruisingKat(Kathy) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich T Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 I'd vote for one forum with a number of threads. And ideally each would be entitled with the ship name and sailing date, that way if I was interested in a specific sailing it would be easier to find... I agree with the others: Each planned Periscope Broadcast should be posted as a single thread with a Title Format of "Ship Name - Sail Date" or similar (but standardized). I recently added my next planned scope under the existing thread, "periscope peeps" . One concern is that readers have to sort through and read all posts in the thread to find the various planned scopes. [btw, follow me on periscope @Rich_Triplett to watch my upcoming sailings] CruisingKat(Kathy) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we have a forum, makes sense to create a new thread for each person's planned PeriscopeYes good idea Matt.I think I reported some scopes that I learned about under a existing thread in the Periscope forum on main page. From now on I will create a new thread in that same forum, if I find out someone's going to scope, if they have not posted already to notify, just to help people find the scopes easier.

hayley_bopp Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 I downloaded Periscope yesterday just so I could watch Matt's periscopes. I don't really understand the technicalities of the app yet and have yet to watch a live one but I'm very excited to watch more and to watch some from actual ships! This sounds like a good way for me to find more! CruisingKat(Kathy) and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like a good way for me to find more! Keep playing with it, you should get it. Matt's username is @therclblog , once you follow him your phone or tablet should make a noise to notify you he's online. Normally it's around 7 eastern time, give or take a hour. If you have any problems just ask us, best of luck. hayley_bopp and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are following someone, it will notify you when they come on to periscope. hayley_bopp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelly Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Ok dumb question I know and I can hear my boys laughing at me already. What is periscoping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingKat(Kathy) Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Ok dumb question I know and I can hear my boys laughing at me already. What is periscoping?Hi Shelly It is live streaming video. In essence you can watch someone Periscoping from whatever adventure/situation that they are showing you, such as someone being on a cruise ship. You can hear, and see, in live time from the periscope. When you follow someone, it gives you notifications, when they come on to air a periscope. If you happen to miss it, does stay up for 24 hours, to playback and view. Here is a link to check it out. https://www.periscope.tv/#share Shelly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingKat(Kathy) Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 I'm following you too CruisingCat71 :-) Thank You so much!! I can't wait to share my experience on Allure of the seas, with others. I'm very thrilled to be going on this cruise. My countdown is now in the 30's, so I'm getting really excited!!! hayley_bopp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
