Our Disney Destiny sailing is offering Castway Cay photo shoots but (very confusingly!) it appears to be listed under "onboard fun"-- does anybody know anything about this offering and if it actually takes place on the ship or somewhere on the island? It would be very annoying to have to schlep back to the ship.

Do you have to select a time? is there a price attached to it? Wondering if they are putting a system in place at CC so that there is less waiting in line for photo shoots, or this is a brand new offering like a private photo session but at CC rather than in studio... and last question... Maiden Voyage?

Yes (which is partly why I'd like to know if it's actual on the ship or the shore).
is there a price attached to it?
Yes, I believe it was $200.

I'm assuming it is a dedicated photo session -- hopefully on the island, but perhaps the back of the ship overlooking the island? I'm thinking that if there were going to be characters it would be mentioned.
and last question... Maiden Voyage?
No, we are in the first month but not the MV.
 
This photo shoot is available on my treasure sailing and in the description it says you meet at She Sells Sea Shells

Thank you! I don't think that level of detail was available on the app when I booked, but I was kind of rushing through and may have missed some fine print. It sounds like the pictures will be lovely, but I have to say that I'm not thrilled it's $275 for 20 minutes and then only 5 photos are included and there's an upsell for everything else... especially as we will likely also be booking the onboard all cruise photo package. :/

This sounds a lot like the private photo sessions you can do at WDW, although as far as I know you get to keep all those photos; we always do the photo package there so maybe that's why.

To be honest at least at WDW, 20 minutes was more than enough to get a bunch of great pictures.

I really value our time on Castaway Cay, so I think 20-30m is a good length (the only reason 20m gives me pause at it appears we would be moving around from place to place?) — it’s potentially paying $275 for the session plus $250-300 for the unlimited package and then perhaps another $100-200 for additional photos if they turn out great. Yikes.
