Photography Costs Onboard


Recommended Posts

Hi, has anyone travelled recently and can tell me what the current photography costs are onboard for one photo 8 x 10"? I have been unable to find this information and just weighing up whether I should pre-purchase a 10-photo package before I board. Thanks :)

There was a recent thread that discussed the cost of prints, and it seems like the cost varies a bit by ship. Somewhere between $20 and $25 seems to be the norm.

I paid $95 for as many prints as I wanted on Mariner of the Seas in March. Just be very vigilant to virus check your disk before downloading the photos. Mine had a very damaging worm virus on it & after about 20 emails to the company who does the photography, they still would not reply to me apart from automated responses. I had sent them proof with a screen shot. There is no contact phone numbers supplied to call. So essentially a cheap photo package cost me a fortune to get fixed!!

Helbel, did they offer you this on board - the lowest package I am being quoted via the RCCL page is $175 for 10 prints. :confused:

Did you take this further through Royal Caribbean?

on the Oasis last month it was 23.99 for a 8x10 and the others I cant remember. I though 23.99 was a bit much. But we did not end getting a few . The Crown and Anchor Coupon helps

They should be willing to negotiate some packages. By the end of the cruise, we must have had over a hundred pictures of various groupings of our party of 10. We ended up being offered a fair price for a set of 10 pictures ... but if they'd gotten more innovative with some attractive pricing for a bigger package, they would have made more money off us, instead of them ending up with over 90 unsold pictures.
