Ahoy Karen –
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thanks for asking your question here!
Photography is available on all the ships of
Disney Cruise Line in order to capture the magic of your journey. There will be photographers present from embarkation day, to character greetings, dinner pictures, deck parties and even formal portraits. Pricing for photo packages vary based on the length of your cruise and the itinerary sailed. If you have the opportunity to purchase your photo packages ahead of time, then this is the best savings as right now it is
15% off. Once you board, the prices will go up. The digital + CD option is the most expensive, and some families may choose to spend their gold doubloons elsewhere on their magical journey. For my crew, we budget our photos to just 1 cruise a year in order to save gold doubloons, even though we cruise several times throughout the year. Sometimes we get the digital option only because it saves us about $100. We then upload our pictures to our favorite online photography store (Costco, Snapfish, Shutterfly) and print off only what we need, and then the costs are usually about 15-20 cents a photo. You may also choose a smaller package of 10-20 prints to save your gold doubloons. Karen, we hope you have smooth sailing for your cruise planning, and please come back to see us if you need more help.
