DavidMutchler Posted March 3, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Has anyone done the "Private Photo Session" that is advertised in the Photo section of My Royal Cruise? What is it like, and were you pleased with the results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thesandman12 Posted March 3, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 3, 2023 We did it. It was good the guy was good and pleasant, many pictures. Many levels to buy, anywhere to small amount to a lot. You can buy a drive, so you can make your own book and not buy theirs. some pressure to buy something but not high pressure. They take a lot f pictures so many are really good, he kicks out the bad. You can do it and walk away, if you are willing to walk do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the session in the photographer's studio, or somewhere on the ship, or off the ship, or ...? About how long did the session last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dna1990 Posted March 3, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 3, 2023 We did on CCL years ago and liked it. They set multiple sessions and in a number of settings around the ship. Yes, sticker shock when it comes time to buy anything, but they are some cherished shots of our family. I understand on RCCL, you go schedule your time(s) once onboard. They have multiple places to shoot, including in ports like CocoCay. Just understand what (if any) pics are included in the session price and how much additional ones might be....and how this sessions interacts (if at all) with any other photo package you might get for the regular shots.

On Royal, the private photo session pictures cannot be included with a regular photo package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted March 3, 2023 #6 Share Posted March 3, 2023 We did it back in 2017. Total sticker shock. At first we said no thanks, but went back and bought the smallest pkg. 10 digitals for $500 Best decision I ever made ❤ Had this one printed on aluminum and added the words then 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took about 30 minutes, then another 30 to review a few days later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted March 3, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 3, 2023 We did it once as it was a suite perk at the time. Then we about had heart attacks for as much money as they wanted to charge for the actual photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon12 Posted March 3, 2023 #9 Share Posted March 3, 2023 We had the photos done and they were great but very, very pricy. We did not have that much money at the time so we had to leave them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
