FOS-how pushy are the ship photographers?

Like everyone else has said, a simple "no" and keep walking does the trick. However, we've had some fun with the process and in the end sometimes those photos turn out to be the best of the lot. We'll do "bunny ears", tongue stick out, funny poses and have ended up buying those pictures over the nicer posed ones!

 

I don't mind the photographers because some folks have never taken a cruise and should have the opprotunity to take pictures in each port. What I do mind is those cheesy costumes, especially the pirate one! Just take my picture and keep Flipper out of it.

We actually like to take to All Aboard photo and the ones at the port so we can put them in our cruise albums. We rarely do the formal ones anymore and only occasionally the ones at dinner. We've never had an issue just saying no. Never been pressured or made to feel guilty.
