At $20 a photo (in many cases), that's probably pretty true.

Take my digital to the photo display and take photos of the photos.

:O)

Why have I not thought of that?

While my wife takes more pictures then anyone I know we still buy a few. We are selective and pick the best, but find they make nice additions to our trip albums. We are not big drinkers and only gamble a little, so we splurge and treat ourselves to some pictures, so far on the two cruises we spent 75-100 on each cruise.

We haven't been on any cruise where the photos were available for viewing on our cabin. And I am guilty of buying a lot of photos, so I wade through all those photos in the galley until I find ours. Must admit that I will buy most photos, as long as neither of us looks bad. Just another cost of cruising, and they add a lot to my scrapbooks.

we bought some on a special cruise when we met our cousin for the first time. Four of us had a formal together. Now it seems they are really expensive for what they are. They could lower the price by a factor of two or three and then they would sell way more and probably make more profit.

The photographers are good. I never refuse to have one taken, I very rarely buy them anymore though.

However some of my fellow cruisers may want to so i feel it's a public service I am doing

This last cruise on NCL Gem we spotted the photographer during a very quiet time in the Atrium area where he had a white background for photographs. We had five taken all of which we were immensely pleased with when they were printed; so much so we took them all and got the 8x10 prints all for $99 dollars including a a double presentation folder. Compared what we we would pay for that back home it was excellent value and something we just wouldn't have done otherwise!

Why buy a remote ? surely all digitals come with a timer delay feature ?
