Ahoy, Heather!
Welcome to the Moms Panel and thank you for logging in a question. My family is big on documenting our journeys, so we always take advantage of the Disney Cruise Photography packages onboard. As you might already be aware, the different
photography packages from Shutters will vary depending on how many prints you choose to purchase, all the way to purchasing all the prints and all the digital files on CD. The Disney Photographers will be around the ship, and they'll also be setting up Disney Cruise Line signature backgrounds every evening at the lobby atrium. Whenever there's a character meet and greet, you'll also see them to allow every guest the opportunity of being in the picture with their whole family.
Every night, you'll have the option of checking out the photos shot that day at Shutters. You can pick & choose from the prints, discarding some of the prints that you might not like. You'll have the opportunity of building a package - or choosing your select photographs. At the end of your voyage, you can choose the package that makes the most sense for you, either upgrading the full package (1 CD with all the files +/- all the prints), or just a select few of the prints (10-pack or 20-pack of prints). If your crew is anything like my kids on the cruise, they'll take dozens and dozens of photos every evening.
You've got some flexibility on what to pay for - but it may come difficult to choose from the many funny & memorable poses of your family members while on the cruise :-). I'm sure you'll come home with awesome pictures to remember your cruise by.
Have a great vacation!
