beshears Posted May 31, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I know Covid and etc. have made changes with companies in many ways. I am very old fashion in some ways, and I prefer having the photos, instead of the small disk, or whatever you call it. Does Princess still offer anything like this? We will probably be cruising in February of next year and how soon ahead of time, if they do, will I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will probably be cruising in February of next year and how soon ahead of time, if they do, will I know? there are 2 photo packages offered for our March sailing...5 prints & the digital files on a thumb drive for $89 or 10 for $169 (10% savings)...there are also photos included if you get the Premier package (3 prints & all the digitals)...you could also take the digital files & have them printed at home 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted May 31, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 31, 2023 We are just off the Sky and I was looking at the pricing. I'm fairly sure (not certain) that you could just pick and choose the pics you like and have them printed on the ship. It wasn't cheap and more expensive of course for the larger sizes.

beshears Posted May 31, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Thank you for both of your postings to my question. Travelin.Sisters I gather what you were posting about March was for this year and not year, is that correct? Do you know how soon after a person books, that we are able to find out about their specials? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Paula_MacFan Posted June 1, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 1, 2023 We're have a cruise booked for January 2024 and these are the prices available in my Personalizer now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare starvenger Posted June 1, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 1, 2023 So to be clear, is it only the 5/10 pictures you select that's on the thumb drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they try to make it sound like you get all the pictures, but it's only the ones you choose. I miss the $99 unlimited photo package! (not really, we have inches of pictures that we hardly look at) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not certain at all...but I think 8x10 was much more. I remember thinking that it would be much cheaper to just get the download and take it to CVS or Walgreens to get a print.

This thought alone has me potentially thinking of upgrading from plus to premier just for the photos. But we’re going with my side of my family and my partner’s family this year so the photos might actually come in handy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photos taken on a cruise just resonate in a different way, you know? (...while also sitting in a box somewhere) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beshears Posted June 1, 2023 Author #14 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Yes, I miss the ball park prices too, and as mentioned, my son had me do the hard drive, or whatever it is called and I took it to Walgreens and was able to print out ALL the pictures I wanted. I am different from everyone else. I probably have over 80 some picture albums, going back over 61 years ago when my husband and I got married. I just like to OPEN the picture album and take my time looking at the pictures. 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoozecrooze Posted June 1, 2023 #15 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Hi OP (and to anybody else), these are some of what's being sold right now (just off a cruise). We didn't take any full background photos (these were the niche shots, like gangway/port ones), so we don't have info about 8x10s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I believe "cruise moments" are when the photographers walk up to you during times like dinner or out on deck or if you take one during the Captain's Circle Party, etc. They come with the frame with the caption and all that. It's different when you take the ones with the background, which are more "full-size". Edited June 1, 2023 by snoozecrooze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beshears Posted June 2, 2023 Author #20 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I appreciate more of this information coming in regard to my question. It doesn't sound like getting the printed ones are very cheap anymore. I probably take MORE pictures than anyone else in this world, but they ARE my memories!!

Nightowl11 Posted June 4, 2023 #21 Share Posted June 4, 2023 If there only is the 5 or 10 physical photo package, does it come with only those 5 or 10 digital downloads or do you get them all? How can you get all of the digital downloads for all our pictures? Is the only way to get them is to purchase the Princess Premier package? I am sure with several family members, we will be taking over 100 on a 14 day since everyone takes solos and groups and then just sisters and then just brothers and then just the boys or just the girls and then just the moms with the kids and the dads with the kids, just the cousins, etc. Sometimes we have different shore excursions so we leave the ship at different times, so there are multiple port pictures too.

But they take all the photos anyways, so wouldn’t it be better to have an all inclusive at $199 or $250 than someone only paying for the 5 photo package at $89 or the 10 at $169? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
