My daughter came off her first cruise yesterday and then asked me if it was possible to purchase a couple of photos,I told her it was not possible as I believe that all unsold photos are put through a chemical process and the paper used again.
cheap travel packages canada I wonder if anyone can dispute cheap travel packages canada this theory of mine tho I had actually cheap travel packages canada been given this info when I contacted the photographic company who had the contract with P O. my daughter was on the mariner of the seas and of course she disembarked in Italy.
I've never seen any form of identification on photos so the only way to buy is when they are in front of you I think. On RCI we got to put all our photos in the bin! If they reduced the price they would sell more.
I know that I could not find a photo I'd had taken in the dining room, and when i enquired about it, I was told that because I had asked for the photo to be angled with my head turned slightly, the person who printed cheap travel packages canada the pictures cheap travel packages canada didn't print mine,as I was not looking directly at the camera.The photo was on their computer, and they did make a print for me to buy.
The reason I didn't cheap travel packages canada want to look at the camera was that it usually happens,that if someone wears glasses, the reflection in the eyes appears as if there are cataracts in the eyes. The only other option is to remove the glasses before the photo is taken.
I just assumed the photos would be deleted cheap travel packages canada from the computer at the end of a trip; but it's possible that the unwanted prints are disposed of.The cost is most likely covered in what price is charged when buying them.

I agree about the price but as long as people are prepared to pay it, they will keep it up. I think that a lot of first-timers will buy but after you've been on a few cruises cheap travel packages canada you get too many photos and most are left in a drawer.
I asked on board a few years back and was told that all unsold prints are recycled. I've repeated cheap travel packages canada feedback on every cruise that more prints would be sold if they were priced cheap travel packages canada more realistically. I know I'm not the only one who has shot after shot taken but I haven't bought a single one for the last 4 years at least.
Hubby I disembarked Azura this morning - I was surprised to be told by one of the photographers that they don't print all shots anymore. They have 8 or 10 computer terminals in the photo 'corridor' where you search for your shots by date / venue then order the ones you want printed.
On the QM2, when she was new, you could see your photos on the cabin TV and order 'Hard Copy'. However I guess people are more likely to by them photos they can see/touch them. One print priced £15 or so, probably only cost them a penny or two to print and easily pays for all of the photos thrown away.
We try and avoid having cheap travel packages canada our photos taken because we have so many we just don't want anymore and know we won't buy them, so figure we're doing them (and the environment) a favour by not having them done and printed, though on occasion some photographers have become shirty or even rude.
I recall on OV a few years ago in the Bistro one younger, male, photographer being extremely rude and swearing cheap travel packages canada at us because we refused to have our photo taken, the m'aitre D was informed by the waiter, who apologised profusely, the restaurant manager came and again apologised, the staff captain appeared during dessert and a free table was offered for the following evening and the photographer was on our flight on the way home!!! cheap travel packages canada (not sat near us fortunately)

It's a franchise that operates the photography on board cruise ships. Apparently they pay quite a bit for it and the cruise company still expect a cut of the profits as well. So the photographers are given targets to achieve. I'm not trying to condone this young man's behaviour but it's more likely that he ended up on the plane not because cheap travel packages canada of his rudeness but because he failed cheap travel packages canada to achieve his target. Hence the reason why he became over zealous. I'm like you and just give them a friendly cheap travel packages canada wave with a no thank you. When they start selling photo's at a realistic price, I'll start posing again.

With software these days they can recognize your face and then place in the same spot on the computer, once you make your first purchase they can link to your cabin number which means you can locate. Some cruise cheap travel packages canada lines are now using this method though I do not believe they are allowed to check the ships security seacard picture for information about you , that would be a security concern.
Good markup so lowering the price reduces the revenue and with 2,220 + passengers even if they only bought one also now people like the DVD's and photo books and access to make an online portfolio after the cruise.
When we went on Oceana on 3rd July, we treated ourselves to the DVD of the cruise. We thought that it would be a nice keepsake as it was the Grand Event. When we arrived home, it wouldn't play and they emailed to say that there had been problems with many copies and they would do a reprint of the DVD and post it to us. On finally viewing this, we noticed that they had used stock filming sequences of the ports we visited, (it was easy to tell as the weather was completely different to what we had experienced). It was quite a disappointment cheap travel packages canada and I doubt if we will be buying another one in future.
