Hi, Kimberly!
Ordering and pre-purchasing photo credits, beverage packages or a spa
treatment from the
Gifts & Amenities Page on DisneyCruise.com serve
as a convenience for guests and one less thing to think about when
you're in "vacation mode" once you're on board. It also is a great way
for friends and family who may or may not be traveling with you to
celebrate your vacation and help pay for extra, on-board expenses from a
distance.
For instance, when we were on board celebrating our 20th anniversary, we
had friends who had ordered a wine package for us as a congratulatory
wish. We were stunned when our server came to our table with our
friends' well wishes, and it was such a treat each night at dinner to be
reminded of our friends back at home. In addition to possibly being
able to save a few dollars by pre-purchasing, the photo credits help to
keep you in check since there are so many photos taken during the course
of a cruise. You can agree on an amount/budget for photos before you leave home,
pre-purchase that amount and choose accordingly once you're on board.
I hope this helps clear things up for you. Let me know if I can answer
any more questions for you. Have a wonderful day and a magical vacation.
Bon voyage,
Andi
