Some have posted that the on board price is now $249.

The price is indeed $249 on board. I never saw it go on "sale" on board the grand princess. I missed out on the $99 special promo, missed out on the pre-cruise $199 online offer. We missed out on 2 port pictures (no photographers when we got off) and 2 nights of fun pic nights but still purchased the package at $249. We got about 123 pics overall. We took about 60+ on the last formal and pic night. Some photographers took a bunch of photos and poses with other people but when it came to us, they only took 2-3 pics. I had to ask for more. I even came back when there were no lines. With a family of 4, we had many possible combinations. My youngest did not cooperate after a few photo shoots and then only wanted pics with mommy. The male photographers paid a bit more attention to little details and "fixed" things. The one lady photographer was a one click chick. I did not dare ask her more poses from her. Oh, and if you want any duplicates printed, it would cost $10 each. It would be cheaper to buy the 2 packages at the $99 sale price and explain to them that you have two and to reprint everything. I saw a grandma who purchased her own package so she can have her own set.

The lanyard broke on the USB drive and they refused to give me another one. The USB is hella slow.

Now I have to buy an album for 100+ pics and frame the square collages.

I missed the $99 sale. We are taking off on April 1st. I am still interested. This will be our kids first cruise. Question, Do the photographers visit the camp and take pictures too? I would love to get pictures of the kids in camp.

Also, from what I read on here..the 'pre-cruise special' price of 199 is the same as the on board price. Online it says there's a savings of $50 for purchasing early. Does the price really go up once on board? Looking at old patters from 2015-16, sometimes they discount this to 189. Is this still the case?
