Or you can carry a  compact camera and have someone take your picture.   Most everybody is happy to take pictures.  Our one and only family cruise that we did NONE of the formal night pictures turned out. From that day forward we always have a compact camera with us.  A USB or disc is nice to have.   We have never purchased a package but always buy 2 or 3 pictures each cruise.  The key is to visit every single photographer and get a picture taken.  Some of the best pictures we have are doing casual poses or being silly when leaving or coming to the ship.  A picture is worth a thousand words and can be priceless to look back on.  

We got 133 pictures on ours last July on the Oasis

The photo package can be a great deal, but it relies on you to take the time to stop and take a lot of photos with the ship's photographers. There's certainly ample opportunity and many have reported getting a ton of great photos with the package.  I think they key is to get into the habit quickly of stopping to take photos and even taking individual photos to help get more shots in.

They will take as many pictures as you want to pose for!  Usually they will take pics at the mdr, all over the ship on formal night,  right when you get off the ship at the ports, with the captain sometimes.   On formal nights you can take a ton!   Jane
