Ships photographers, questions

[twoprincessesmom]

Hi!

Do they take photos when you embark? Like something that says DCL or something?

Also, do they take them when you get off the ship, on the gangplank, or whatever it's called , with the preserver and the name of the place you are in the center??

Any other photo (posed) times that you can help me with?

We are on the Wonder, 4 day.

They do take an embarkation picture.

I don't believe they take one at each port though.

They do take tons of pics both formal and candid. If you have children, you may be pleasantly surprised to see pics of them in Shutters that you had no idea where even taken

They take a great picture as you embark...and as they announce your name on the loud speaker. So cool! They have great backgrounds in which you can have your picture taken nightly. They also have 2 areas where they take pictures on CC. (not to mention the tons of candids they take of the children!)
Have fun!

They take pictures all over CC of anybody they can get to pose. My DW and I have a great shot from the other side of the lagoon with the Magic in the background. You will not lack for good photo ops

how much is a photo package?

I read somewhere on one of these boards that a package is 10 pictures for $90. We are cruising on the August 12 Wonder so I will know more when I get back.

the photos are the best part to me! I wish I could afford to purchase every one of them.

We wished they had taken more candid shots. The first day we saw the photographers a lot, but not very often the rest of the week. They were with the characters & the backdrop photos, but did not see them out taking candid shots.

On CC they were out on the beach & w/characters coming off the ship and while going to the beach area.

We just got back from the Wonder and bought the 10 picture package for $85. They are 6x8 size. They sell them individually for 9.95 each. They also had a 15 and I think a 20 picture package, but I am not sure how much those were.

You are allowed to take pictures at the same time as the ship's photographers. The CMs with the characters will take one with your camera for you! We've had several where our pictures were better than the "official" shots.

There are a couple of times that you can't take your own--the embarkation shot and the captain's photo sessions are among them. All the character shots, you can do your own.

I have been able to use my camera for the Captain photo sessions but have never tried it at embarkations because there were so many people trying to get onboard behind me. Plus I was so anxious to get on the ship myself!
