DiantoCruise Posted October 12, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hi, We are taking our first cruise to Alaska in June and are debating whether to take a laptop with us to download the pictures and video we will be taking. I was wondering if the photo shop on the Sun offers a service putting photos and video onto disc and if anyone knows the approximate cost of having this done? Thank you for any information!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if the photo shop on the Sun offers a service putting photos and video onto disc and if anyone knows the approximate cost of having this done? Thank you for any information!:) I was on the Sun in August to Alaska 2nd trip I took 650 pictures this time and the first time I took 1800 pictures so I would not trust anyone with my media Bring your laptop and over shoot everything then you can look at your pictures every night and throw the ones you don't like out. But they do offer the service but it's not cheap. Also if you do bring your laptop and you have a CDR drive you can burn all your pictures to disc and you will never be sorry. Here's the link to some of my pictures if your interested http://community.webshots.com/user/3dblouder Hope this helps 3dblouder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricron Posted October 12, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 12, 2007 You might find it far cheaper, and far less hazzle, to just buy a second, larger memory card for your camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyz711 Posted October 12, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 12, 2007 i brought the laptop, i like checking to make sure the pictures came out. on relaxing days, i took a couple of minutes to download to the laptop, delete any photos that were blurred or of my feet (don't ask, it was a new camera)..then burned them to disk. doing the same thing for this next trip. i know i could use a memory stick or something, but i like knowing the photos are backed up on the disk and the 'puter memory. yes, the ship does offer that service, i don't know who much..but i dont trust anyone else to hande my photos. especially if i won't know something is wrong until i get home.

DiantoCruise Posted October 13, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Thanks for all the great advice... I think I will take my laptop with me and download daily. I think you are right about backing up my pictures and video and this way I can also make notes about them. Thank you all...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbery if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransOcean Posted October 18, 2007 #8 Share Posted October 18, 2007 All NCL ships charge between $10 and $15, depending on the speed of the service. None charge $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett'sCruise Posted October 18, 2007 #9 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I have had pix burned to CD's several times on cruises. Seems to me it was only $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious, if you are willing to tell, how much the stateroom cost. And thanks for sharing the fine photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
