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. 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. Let’s say Dad is in one room with the 5-year-old and Mom is in the other stateroom with the 12-year-old. If Mom or Dad had a Disney cruise photo package linked to their stateroom, pictures from both staterooms would be included.

The first has access to a dedicated Concierge Lounge, while the the last has three bedrooms and 3.5 baths and is built into the vessel's fake funnel. The Tower Suite is the most expensive accommodation on the ship, running several thousand dollars per night. You know that every day on the cruise there will be photographers out setting up backgrounds. Alternatively, rather than receiving hard copies of the photos, you can opt for the digital option. This means you choose which photos you would like to buy, but they are sent to you digitally for you to print how you wish.

Disney Cruise Line Photo Packages

There may also be opportunities to book this experience while you’re on the ship. Many guests choose to take Port Adventures (excursions) while they’re docked in port. Some of these excursions may include a photography element. For example, if you’re swimming with dolphins, the tour provider will almost certainly have a photography component of the event. Be aware that these photos will NOT be included in your DCL onboard photo package.

You can always rearrange things if you get photos that you prefer. I suggest that you keep looking at your photos every day so you know what is there and start arranging them in the Disney Cruise Photo Book. You do not want to be leaving all of this to the last evening of the cruise. This package gives you access to every single photo you take while on board on a USB, which can be exceptional value for money if you end up taking many photos. If you have 2 or more staterooms and your children aged 17 or under are in a stateroom they will be included in the package.

As long as at least one person from the stateroom with a purchased package is in the photo, then that photo will be included in their purchase. Prices vary based on the itinerary and number of nights of the cruise. In recent months, I’ve encountered prices of $349.95 for a six-night sailing and $229.95 for a three-night sailing.

However, I have heard near universal complaints about the photo books – everything from missing pictures to extremely poor image and paper quality. You may just be better off buying the downloads and making your own photo book via one of the photo printing services mentioned above. In another example, I recently traveled on the Disney Wish with friends.

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.

Expect to find photographers in the embarkation port terminal. They’ll be stationed in front of DCL logoed backdrops. Disney reeeeeeealy wants their logo on your pictures. That said, once you have the digital download in your possession, you’re welcome to crop out their border/logo. Depending on the picture, this may be easier said than done.

All of your Disney cruise photos used to be printed out. Walt Disney Imagineering designed the architecture throughout Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point to resemble a series of colorful, oversized seashells scattered along the coastline. I’ve found that most of the DCL onboard photos are adequate to good, but rarely excellent. (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. You’ll begin encountering photographers even before you board.

On every ship (exepct Disney Wish) on Deck 4, there is a Shutters photo area. Disney Cruise Line makes it very easy for you to see your photos. You can see which backgrounds they are setting up so you can choose which one you like. Mickey and Minnie Mouse will be there for you while you are waiting to board. Here is our complete guide to all the options of the Disney Cruise Photo Package to help you decide if it is worth it. Prices are subject to change until package purchase.

She was happy to help, but Bobby arrived a moment later and ended up taking my phone and snapping a dozen shots for us. You never know who you’ll meet on a Disney cruise. DCL does offer a photo book product, typically priced at $149.95 regardless of the length of your cruise. This seems like it would be a good deal, you get to have 30+ images for the typical price of a ten image photo download package.

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 another way to get a discount if your family is traveling in 2 staterooms. The first stateroom can buy the Disney cruise photo package online. With some exceptions, the character photo process is essentially the same on the ships as it is in the Disney theme parks.

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. The prices above are the rates for photo packages purchased onboard the ships. There is a small price break (often 10-15%) for buying your photo package online in advance of your trip. 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.

The super-luxe ambiance will leave you feeling refreshed for sure. Another one of Disney Wish's highlights is the AquaMouse water slide. Billed as the line's first at-sea attraction, it's a combination of watery fun and animation that both kids and adults will love. On Disney Wish, the main pool deck features four tiered pools. Disney Cruise Line's Oceaneer Club is for kids aged 3 to 12.

Although Disney Wish offers mainly short voyages, anyone needing to do laundry on the ship can take advantage of onboard launderettes, like this one located on Deck 8. It also hosts Jack Jack's Incredible Diaper Dash, where parents enter the littlest cruisers into an adorable race.

Shutters crew members are also available to assist you with scheduling a formal photo session if you wish. 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.
