Photo Dept onboard ..do they offer this?

[California Native]

Hi Everyone...

Will the photo department onboard AZ Journey...

take your memory card and burn it to a disc for you???

If so, what is the cost?

We will be traveling with a netbook, I will have several USB sticks for storage...

but we like to take an extra step and burn the photos to a disc, that way we have several back up systems

so we never lose them

We can't store them ON the netbook, because the hard drive isn't big enough (we take A LOT of photos)

Obviously, this is one drawback of carrying a netbook instead of a laptop

I've done this on RCCL,Celebrity, Princess, and Holland America

Thanks

Yes, I saw they offer such service, however I do not remember the cost.

You might also look at picking up a USB external hard drive and plugging that into the notebook. I've found that works well for me.

Thanks for the responses!

I've decided to put the external dvd drive on my Christmas List :D

I figure in the long run it will be less expensive than paying a cruise line to burn multiple photo cd's for me

I know other cruiselines charge between 8-15USD per CD for this service!

Sadly, no store in our local area has these drives as a Black Friday special

I also want to suggest when you travel, to always pack a few blank CD's or DVD's with you even if you don't have a lap top..

On my Alaska cruise on Princess... there were a few members on our roll call with REALLY expenisve camera equipment

that were burning discs of their stunning whale and bear shots for a few of us ....

A priceless gift in many ways! :D

We just provided a disc or usb stick to them
