So we were a little bummed that there were some nights/times we didn't get any of our own photos, but again, nobody to blame but ourselves, just something to keep in the back of your mind.

Thanks for the heads up for the picture cost! The hubby and I are going on our first cruise/honeymoon with carnival on sept 27th, and I was wondering what the pictures would cost... Now I will definitely make sure that I get strangers/crew member to do some snap shots.

With all of that printing (and waste), I can see why prices may seem high. But, they're still making money on it. I think the small ones (5X7) were $8.99 and the large ones (8X10) were $19.99.

Got off the Carnival Imagination this morning and the 5x7's called "Fun Candids" are now $11.99 each, and those 8x10 Portraits are now $21.99 each. I'll point out, these were also the prices when I cruised on the Carnival Splendor last November.(2008).
