During our sailing, I posed in many photos with them. The pictures of us together (with me in them) were included in their photo package. Photos of just me were not included in their package. Once my friend downloaded her photos, she was welcome to share them with me, but none of these would be my own individual shots because I did not opt to buy them. There is a small price break (often 10-15%) for buying your photo package online in advance of your trip.

These are printed photos that you pick up at the end of your cruise and take home with you. Great for those who like to scrapbook, or display in a photo book or even to frame and put on your wall. Other DCL guests are often happy to help with photography. The photographers themselves usually won’t do this. However, during some character greeting photo ops, there will be an assistant available who will be happy to use your camera to take a few shots. In my experience, they often don’t take much care to compose the shot well.

They are banking on you seeing their professional photos, falling in love and wanting to purchase them. You can take some with your own camera as I mentioned above by just asking a photographer to snap a shot with your personal camera or heck you can take them yourself too. Just know, the Disney Cruise photographer will capture some shots with their camera too because well, that’s their job. Don’t worry, you are not obligated to purchase any photos they take of you. Even without purchasing a photo package you can most definitely take photos with Mickey, Minnie, Donald or any other characters. For the Bahamas and Caribbean cruises, Disney Cruise Line photographers will be taking Magic Shots throughout the ship and on Castaway Cay.

If you have an issue that needs to be resolved, stop by the Shutters photo desk during your sailing. Depending on the sailing, you may be able to buy a package of just 10, 15, or 20 pictures, rather than an unlimited package. This works out perfectly for my family since we usually get two rooms for our family of 5. Pre-purchasing at least 48 hours prior to your sail date will save 15% on the ALL digital package and $10 on the photobook. Just so you know, they do have additional options on the ship like the option to buy an individual 8 x 10 print for $20.95.

This is the third similar case this year of Disney cruise ship crew members being indicted. Separate cases of image possession were filed against Alvin Gonzales, 49, and Amiel Trazo, 28. A crew member from Disney Cruise Line has been detained and faces charges related to possessing materials that exploited children. Tirso Neri, 44, was arrested on Monday by the U.S. Marshals Service and booked into the Broward County jail, records showed. Another Disney Cruise Line worker has been arrested for alleged possession of child abuse material in South Florida.

It's a sweeping three-deck Cinderella-themed atrium with a stage area, balconies and bejeweled staircases. There's also a bronze sculpture of Cinderella herself and a chandelier that was constructed to look like an upside-down version of her twirling dress. Make the most of it and get as many photos as you can.

(It’s Disney, what did you expect.) Character meet & greet photo opportunities are listed on daily Navigator app and on video screens around the ship’s lobby.

Disney Cruise Line Photo Package For More Than One Stateroom

And of course larger parties may be booked across a similarly large number of cabins. Just like in the Disney theme parks, you’re welcome to pose for photos for free. But if you want to download any pictures or keep any of the images taken by the onboard professional photographers, you’ll have to pay. Most folks are going to want to document some of that fun with photos. You can, of course, use your own phone or camera to take pictures, but like the Disney theme parks, there are professional photo packages available. When it comes to the price of the Disney cruise photo packages, there are several different options.

I’ve found that most of the DCL onboard photos are adequate to good, but rarely excellent. If you’re interested in the complete scoop on onboard characters, check out our full FAQ post on this topic. You’ll begin encountering photographers even before you board. Expect to find photographers in the embarkation port terminal. They’ll be stationed in front of DCL logoed backdrops.

You can do this in the Cruise Activities activities section of the DCL website after you’ve paid in full for your sailing and your activity booking window has opened. (Activity booking windows are based on your Castaway Club status.) Advance photo booking must be completed at least three days prior to sailing in order to get the price break. There are a variety of price points, but the most common is the all-inclusive photo package.

For many photos, you’ll tap your DCL Key to the World Card (room key) or DisneyBand+ on a reader held by the photographer. In other cases, DCL will automatically link pictures to your account via facial recognition. There can be glitches with this leading to either missing or extraneous photos.

Feel free to ask for group and individual pictures. You can also buy individual pictures, though the fewer shots you buy, the higher the per-photo cost will be. I know that there is also an option to order a custom photo book while onboard but I have never explored this idea and therefore don’t have any knowledge about pricing how it works. I do know that you have to design your book at a kiosk while on the ship, and then they mail you the book after you get home. For pre-cruise purchases on MyCruisePhotos.com, you may purchase the first disc online and additional discs can be purchased onboard for 50% off the onboard price. You can also buy a package or individual photo at any time that the Shutters desk is open.

There may also be opportunities to book this experience while you’re on the ship. If I wanted to get their pictures as well, I could do this at 50% discount (off the onboard purchase price) by stopping at the Shutters photo desk during my sailing. Many guests choose to take Port Adventures (excursions) while they’re docked in port.

Guests both on board and onland can even get a sprinkle of pixie dust in the form of Mickey clouds added toyour vacation photos. Just book the photo package online once, on whatever day you happen to see it. The package will include photos taken of everyone in your stateroom for the entire duration of your sailing.

Every DCL ship has an area of electronic kiosks where you can view your pictures. In addition to the kiosks, there is a Shutters photo desk on every ship. You can tap your Key to the World Card or DisneyBand+ on the kiosk reader and you’ll be able to view the shots taken during your sailing. On many cruise nights, you’ll find stations for general family photography. These are either staged photos opportunities in a dramatic setting (the lobby atrium stairs) or staged photo opportunities with a Sears-Portrait-Studio-style fabric backdrop. Backdrops range from inoffensive and nondescript solid colors, to in-your-face (literally) photos of the ships.
