Nate Y Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 I'm looking at photo packages online for my cruise next week through the Bahamas. They're offering five photos for $68 as the lowest package. I normally wouldn't bother but we're doing both the swimming pigs and dolphin encounter and descriptions for both make it sound like they're strict about not allowing photos. Is this as fair a deal as I'm going to get? Will it include photos from the animal encounters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Coco Cay, they do have some photographers walking around - if you are doing the swimming with the pigs there, you may ask one of them to be sure to get some shots.

So the photos at the Nassau dolphin encounter booked through RC won't be available in the package? The description says 'Memories of your once in a lifetime experience will be captured by professional photo and video personnel.' That's its own thing even if it through RC?

I'm sure it will be available at an extra cost. RCI contracts out shore excursions so the photos will be sold directly be the tour operator - not part of the photo packages offered on the ship or through the cruise planner.

cdixon22 Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Watch cruise planner because photo packages go on sale. Last cruise, photos onboard were $19.99 each with a buy one get one 50% off. So at 5 for $68 you are a little ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Y Posted February 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 Found out the hard way the package doesn't apply to ether animal encounter. Oh well. The Dolphin encounter wasn't too expensive. Leaving the wife to decide if we buy the pig photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlena Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Was this blue lagoon dolphin encounter? Did you enjoy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becky Tse Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 I've been getting conflicting info. I called RCL and they said that the photos from swimming with the pig will be included in the photo package. Was your excursion at Cococay?
