AubieKermit Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 So, I have booked two adjoining rooms for my upcoming cruise and am interested in purchasing the digital photo package. However, the description in the Cruise Planner says that "one package covers all guests in your stateroom." Since we are split into two staterooms, surely we don't have to purchase two photo packages, do we? Can't I just purchase the one and have that cover my whole family, even though we are in two rooms?

JerseyJoe Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 I was told that if I had children in one of the rooms, the rooms could be linked and we could buy one package. I spoke with the guy at the photo gallery where you view your photos and he was able to do it for me in about a minute.

We're in the same situation (family split into two staterooms) ...so, @JerseyJoe do you know if we could do the linking of staterooms online while buying the package through the planner, or should we wait until we are on board?

Pima1988 Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 @QuiqueCorleone I can't answer this, but my assumption would be that to link to another stateroom, it would be like dinner reservations, you will need to know their reservation number. I will also say that when we were on Anthem you go to a kiosk. They have RCCL personnel to assist. We traveled in a group of 5 cabins. None of us purchased the package. What was amazing was that there were some photos tagged to my cabin, and some to others in our group. One shot was all of the girls on formal night at dinner. That was tagged to my cabin. They than did a guys only, and that was tagged to my brothers cabin. Nobody else in our group saw those pics. Just an FYI.

AubieKermit Posted May 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 I may wait to purchase it until I get on the ship. I haven't seen a decreased price at all for it in the cruise planner so far. That way I can ask the person at the kiosk. QuiqueCorleone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a button on the Cruise Planner to link cruises. I also believe when making reservations it also allows you to link others.

JerseyJoe Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 I don't think you can link it yourself. I had to call Royal Caribbean to link our 2 rooms for dinner reservations. But that didn't link them for other things. When I purchased some things through the cruise planner, like drink packages or shore excursions, I was able to add the people from the stateroom I was logged in as, then I was able to add people from another room at checkout as long as I had the reservation number. I have a feeling the photos don't work that way, and will need to be linked while on the ship. You might not even need to link if everyone in your group knows to give the same room number to the photographers. Our kids mistakenly gave their room number several times, we didn't think to tell them to make sure they gave the same room number every time.

It's usually more expensive purchasing on the ship than through cruise planner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to buy 2 packages to cover the entire family unless there are adults in the other stateroom. Even then, just make sure someone in the purchasing stateroom is in the photos being taken so they can be tagged. The package includes all of your children under the age of 21 regardless of what stateroom they are in. When you get on board, go to the photo people and have them link the staterooms.

They will sometimes offer a discount on-board but from what I have seen, it's still been cheaper through the planner. 19 hours ago, JerseyJoe said: I don't think you can link it yourself.

Want2cruisemore Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 We are a family of 5, so need to book two cabins. I was told on RCCL that my kids were included until they are 21 on brilliance. Sometime before dinner on day 1 we walked by photo area and they linked the rooms. On NCL, the following year, my oldest had turned 21. It was no trouble adding the second room with the kids. Surprisingly, my oldest was also included despite the fact she was 21 at the time. They said since we were traveling as a family, her photos could be added. I have no idea if RCCL works the same way or when adult children no longer count, but thought I’d share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are 2 different sizes and believe I read that the prints will include up to 8x10. I'll do some research to see....Maybe someone will verify.

Mr. Candyman Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 I did read somewhere that prints can be in either 8x10 or 4x6 depending on the event that the photos were taken at. So I'm led to believe you wouldn't only get 8x10's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyCruiser Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 If I purchase a package can people from other rooms be in my pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karl_nj Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 8 hours ago, HappyCruiser said: If I purchase a package can people from other rooms be in my pictures? Yes. They won’t remove a photo from the package with you in it just because, say, ‘grandma’ is also in the photo. But a photo of just ‘grandma’ wouldn’t be in your package, if she isn’t in your room.

Pam Robinson Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 How long does it take for them to email you the pics when you buy the photo package? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PG Cruiser Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 One issue I have with the Photo Packages is that they only have set backgrounds, and events (embarkation, ports, dining, etc). I wish they had one or two roving photographers to capture other moments on the cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
