Canvas photos on the cruise

[notredamegirl]

I was thinking about getting the photo package for my upcoming cruise. I am wondering if anyone has bought a canvas on a cruise before, and how you get it home after the cruise?

You might want to check into just buying the photo and getting it reproduced on canvas say at, like Shutterfly.  Might be cheaper.  I know they always run sales and free ship.

 

Here's the link to the photo release, and it also addresses how a metal pic would be shipped.  Assume it would be the same for canvas.

I think we paid $59.95 for the canvas print and we received the 8x10 along with it. The print was delivered in a cardboard tube and we just packed it. We haven't gotten it framed yet but it will need a custom frame so that will be a couple hundred dollars.

It sounds like they're wanting to get the package. It's $99 and comes with a few 8x10s and the canvas.

Yes, I was considering the package but now that I hear the canvas frame is a couple hundred I might pass. Thanks

We bought the package last year. The canvas comes in a cardboard tube. The framing for our canvas just a hair over $100 dollars at Hobby Lobby.

Thanks. Do you think it was worth buying the package?

I do, even if the framing were to set us back a couple of hundred. Now that I know that it's as little as a hundred, definitely.

Thanks! I even know where a Hobby Lobby is😊.

Great, thank you so much for sharing. I told my husband I think just to buy one photo in the past it was like 30.00 I thought.

The $99 package is a good deal. The canvas will be in a tube so it will be easy to carry off. Last year we got a package for $199 and was able to get every single picture that was taken. I guess Carnival realized pretty quickly that they lost money on that package. We are getting the $99 package for next cruise.

We did it for the first time a few years ago. Like others have already said, it's in a tube, so easy to transport. And I got ours framed at Michael's. They often have framing sales going on there, so I didn't have to pay a fortune. But I still wanted it to look nice, since it's in our living room.

Thanks, everyone! I think I will definitely get this package now :).

We have a family reunion  of 18 on  the conquest in 7 cabins would someone in each cabin have to buy the package  if we wanted to get  family photos taken

Thanks

You don't have to buy a package. You all pose for as many pictures as you want and buy whichever ones you want. I believe the 8x10's sell for around $25. (If more than one of you in the party wants to buy the same pose you may have them make a copy.)
