Photographic Experiences

 
The Ship's Photographers take both candid and posed shots all during the cruise. The photos are put on display, usually the very next day, and are available for purchase with the guest's Sail & Sign card. Special requests can be made by appointment. Following is the price list for photographs (prices vary among the fleet):

  • 1 - 8 x 10:         $21.99
  • 1 - 5 x 7:           $7.99
  • 1 - 6 x 9            $8.99

Carnival has converted the photography services to advanced digital, using professional digital cameras by Olympus.
Photo-retrieval kiosks, a new system and first of its kind in the cruise industry, utilizes innovative "facial recognition technology". The technology matches a guest's likeness with stored vacation photos shot by the photographers and displays the images on the computer screen for review and purchase.

Photo printing kiosks allow the guest to simply insert the memory card from their digital camera into a card reader located within the stand-alone printing kiosk. After selecting photo size and quantity, the images are then printed in a matter of seconds on high quality digital photo paper. Guests can also customize their photos with colorful borders, backgrounds and other features.

  • To pay for the photos, guests will swipe their "Sail & Sign" card.
  • Cost: $0.50 per 4x6 print; rates will vary per size/quantity.
