Daughter & niece got dressed up, and went all over the ship to get photographed. 3 days later, we met the photographer for the presentation... of 24 prints, all airbrushed and perfect, bound into a massive album ... for $2500. Each.
There were lovely individual shots in the mix, but there was no way in heck I needed 24 photos of the one daughter (who had just gotten her senior photos taken). Thinking back, I seem to remember that the prints were bound in the album... you had to buy loose prints to frame or give Grandma.
After an hour of high-pressure 'negotiation' we were 'permitted' to purchase just 3 loose images for $150. Sister/niece got the same 'deal' from the very exasperated photographer, who took our reluctance as a slam on his skills. He complained that he had spent hours editing them to perfection, and we had wasted his time. Almost 20 years later, and I found 2 of the 3 still in the portfolio, but the third is still framed alongside her graduation and wedding photos.
We got our pictures taken at dinner and were offered a photo package that we gladly accepted. The price seemed reasonable -- 14 pictures of our choice, 3 picture frames, and digital pics on a USB stick for $175. We could have our pictures taken with any of the photographers stationed around the ship and visiting the specialty restaurants.
On a different night, that same photographer offered us a photo session outside with Gracier Bay in the background. When the day came, the photographer passed us on to a different photographer who took our pictures. The session was 30 minutes. Afterwards, we were given an appointment for a "viewing" of the pictures in their private studio later in the cruise.
The next day we went to view our pictures in the main gallery and only then did we learn that there were two photography teams. Our original photo package would not include the Glacier Bay pictures. We didn't think to have any passersby take our pictures so we felt stuck and concerned, fearing a bait and switch of sorts.
When we arrived for our private "viewing" of the Glacier Bay pictures in the private studio, there was no high pressure sales per se. It was subtle. They know many people like us entrusted our most memorable vacation pictures to their studio. They know that you have to make a decision during the 30 minute viewing session because they are completely booked and there would be no other opportunity.
That said, the pictures were stunning. The 30 minute photo session may have felt short and rushed but the photographer knew what he was doing. We ultimately decided to purchase 14 digital pictures on a USB stick for $400. The pictures were worth the price. The process ... not so much.
I too was interested in the $165 private photo package, but I was told it was only for the occupants of the purchasing cabin, therefore excluding my son and family from my photo. I was trying to find out how much a private photo session was to include them. $1200 is a bit too rich for my blood. I was thinking I could book the $165 package for myself and them, and then see if we could combine the two packages into one 1-hour session. Do you think that plan would fly once we got onboard?
In the world of post processing (ie...editing your photos after you take them) the subject of presets and actions can tend to be a dramatic one. I've seen post after post in various group forums on the subject which can oftentimes get heated. The interesting thing is that the drama doesn't usually arise based on which one is "better" but rather on...
When you hide photos and videos, they move to the Hidden album, so they don't appear in your Library, in other albums, or in the Photos widget on your Home Screen. In iOS 14 and later, you can turn off the Hidden album, so the photos are completely hidden. And in iOS 16, iPadOS 16.1, and macOS Ventura and later, your Hidden album is locked by default and requires authentication to unlock. Make sure you have installed the latest software updates for your Mac, iPhone and iPad.
Going on a cruise in a few weeks, and I already prepaid for a photo package that gives us up to 50 prints or digitals, $120. However, there's also a Private Photo Session package, which says that it comes with 5 prints or digitals. That package is $160. I read on a webpage somewhere (not an RCCI page) that private photo sessions are free and they just charge you for the pictures if you want them. My question is do I need to buy the private package, or can I schedule a private session when I get onboard that's free and then apply the pictures to the $120 package I already bought? If not, any idea how much the private session costs when you're onboard? Thanks for any advice!
My main role at this AMAZING wedding underneath (literally, right underneath) the Brooklyn Bridge was the photo booth! I was so excited to be in charge of all of the fun stuff that goes down at wedding photo booths! In addition, I helped out a little bit during the ceremony as well as getting some detail shots around the property.

I dont even know if there is a workaround to get the ones you havent shared. Its honestly better to take photos with your GPU software or steam. There is a button to hide the UI. Simply use it and just take a screenshot

We waited near the entrance of the theater to be escorted out to the parks by our photographer. Before we started, we got a moment to tell our photographer a little bit about what we were looking for and what locations we were interested in.
