Vacation sticker — Cruise

At the top of my post is my favorite of the images I got when I tried to prompt a sticker to put in my journal at the beginning of a cruise. I wanted to capture both the cruise aspect and the relaxed, not in my normal “work uniform” vibe which is why I put a dress in the prompt, even though I rarely wear dresses on vacation.

I got some that had more of an influencer posing vibe, which didn’t really fit with what I wanted to capture, which is part of why I found myself liking the one that was from the backside.

This one reminded me of posing for photos on vacation — whether it was just as a family, or with those roving cruise ship photographers, and again lacked the relaxed vibe I realized I was looking for to capture the true sense of “at sea with not a care in the world” mixed with “and when I get home, I’ll wish I was still at sea.”

This set of images is a reminder of how much details in a prompt matter, I didn’t put anything about relaxed or carefree in my prompt, for instance.
