    My family is going on our first Disney cruise and we will be sailing with my in-laws. If we purchase the photo pass, will my in-laws be able to use it if our reservations are linked?

    Ahoy there, Chris!

    Welcome back to planDisney! A family vacation on the high seas is the perfect way to spend quality time together, and I totally understand wanting to make sure every magical moment is captured. Between character encounters, sail-away celebrations, and those unforgettable dinners together, you're bound to make plenty of memories that deserve a spot in the family photo album.

    The Unlimited Digital Photo Package is a fantastic way to preserve all of those magical moments, creating plenty of core memories you'll look back on long after your voyage ends. The not-so-magical news is that the package only covers the Guests staying in your stateroom. Even if your reservations are linked, it does not extend to family members staying in another stateroom.

    There is one exception, though. If your immediate family requires two staterooms because everyone can't fit into one, the photo package can cover the immediate family members of both staterooms. Immediate family includes parents and their children under the age of 21, but it does not extend to grandparents, aunts, uncles, or other relatives.

    I know that probably wasn't the answer you were wishing upon a star for, but there is a little pixie dust hidden in the details. Once you're onboard, you and your crew can stop by Shutters, where the second stateroom may purchase its own Unlimited Digital Photo Package for 50% off the onboard price (subject to change). This offer is available for eligible family members traveling together, but it does not apply to friends sailing in separate staterooms.

    I hope this helps as you prepare to fill your first Disney sailing with photos you'll treasure for years to come! With grandparents along for the adventure, you're sure to make memories that deserve more than just a place on your phone, they’ll become part of your family's story.

    Sea ya real soon as the days grow longer and the countdowns grow shorter,
