So I got an interesting bit of clarification from
DCL. On the ABD website page for the Med add-on, under "What's included?", it lists "onboard and onshore photos ". I was thinking maybe we'd get some prints of the DCL photos from Shutters that they take on the ship, the same way you get a few photo prints from the ABD guides while on regular ABD's. The Shutters photos can get pretty expensive, so that sounded nice.
So the Supervisor I'd talked to (no, she still can't tell me how many people have signed up for my date) called me back with this detail: What we get are 2 photo CD's. One CD will be the Guides' photos (so, basically, the $120 photo CD that you can buy from Photopass.) The second one will be all the photos taken onboard by DCL's photographers. The cost of the photo CD's from Shutters varies according to the length of the cruise, but I've seen that the CD for the 7-day cruises cost anywhere from $299-399!!!! I can't imagine what an 11-night one goes for!
I really wasn't intending to buy that one, given the price, but having it included is a nice bonus... (Yes, I realize I'm paying for that bonus, but even the $120 CD isn't included with regular ABD's. Not that I don't think it SHOULD be included...)
Only 17 more days until that magical "90 days out", after which the ABD portion won't be cancelled. I *WISH* they'd give me *some* idea of how well my date is selling... But I'm still optomistic, knowing that the August dates have supposedly all sold out.
