12thman Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Been waiting for a sale on the extremely expensive photo package. Question is what do you get with the digital only package and what do you get with the digital and print package? What size are the prints and how many? The description in the planner doesn’t say anything about this. Thanks for any information! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MO & LO on the go! Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 In our experience the digital is just that. A link to download all the pictures they took as a digital file on your computer. The digital and print is the same for digital stuff but the print allows you to grab every picture they print and put on the walls in the photo area. You get one print per photo. They are all 8x10 i believe but could be wrong on that. With the digital you can print anywhere and any size (they give you a release) when you get home.

12thman Posted August 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Thanks! I’ll have to think more about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanBrian Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 IMO, the photo prices on RC are the most obscenely overpriced item on any cruise. We always go ahead take all the photo ops because you never know, a gem may be taken. But we've only purchased a handful of pictures over the years. We have far more excursion pictures which have a better bang for your buck, and are a better representation of the cruise experience, than on-board pictures.

12thman Posted August 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Normally I’d pass on these kind of packages. Don’t know if we’ll go again so it would be nice to have memories from the ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MO & LO on the go! Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 We usually get it when we have a big group. Then we take lots of formal night pics and everything we can at the ports. It's nice to have all the pics of the big group. Shaheed510 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanBrian Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 I know what you're saying. We take our camera everywhere and always ask servers to take pictures of us. And as I posted, look at the pictures from the excursions, many are very reasonably priced. We have purchased pictures from many excursions.

12thman Posted August 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 If I buy just the digital package I’m assuming that I get ALL the pictures of us. Am I mistaken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy a package, be sure to check your photos on the ship as there have been some issues reported by members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12thman Posted August 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Oh not good! Just bought the digital only package. Maybe I can go to the photo place and ask to see what they are sending me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swipe your sea pass card and it will show you all the photos you are getting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtgtgt Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Yes, make sure you stop by the photo kiosk to review your pictures. This way if some are missing (for example, assigned to the wrong cabin), they can try to find them. I made the mistake while on Symphony this summer of not checking with the photo desk. When I got emailed the link for the photo downloads, it turned out we were missing about 30-40 pictures, including the Welcome Aboard pictures. We ended up with less than half of the pictures we knew were taken. Once you leave the ship, they don't seem to care and won't be able to find your pictures.

12thman Posted August 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 @gtgtgt that's my plan the day before we return go when it opens and check all the pictures. Then check to make sure I can download it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
