Ahoy, Kathy!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Congratulations on booking your very first cruise aboard Disney Cruise Line! It sounds like you've chosen an itinerary to paradise! Any stresses will just float away as you look out onto the turquoise Bahamian waters. Hopefully, this will be the first of many Disney Cruises that you will experience!
Sailing with Captain Mickey is the perfect opportunity for photos! I love the idea of taking pictures in the Bahamas. Although I'm not aware of a photographer on the island of Nassau, I do have a recommendation for a great photo opportunity while the ship is docked there. In the morning, head to the outdoor seating area in Cabanas to find a picturesque photo opportunity. You'll see the beautiful Atlantis Paradise Island off in the distance and can ask any Cast Member to take a picture of your pirate crew!
Since you'll be sailing to the Bahamas, you probably will be making a stop at
Disney's private island, Castaway Cay! Disney Cruise Line's photographers will be ashore with you on the island taking pictures of Guests! If you'd like a professional photo taken in the Bahamas, I suggest getting one on Castaway Cay. There will be so many opportunities for photos onboard the ship, too! Onboard photographers will have beautiful and fun backdrops set up for pictures before dinner in the Lobby Atrium. Also, they will be ready to take your picture while meeting Disney Characters and at different activities throughout your cruise. You can view and purchase your photos at
Shutters: The Onboard Photography Shop!
Kathy, thanks again for sailing by with this question! If you can think of any more questions before your exciting adventure at sea, please come back and visit us again!
