Photography on board?

[luvscruising2007]

I don't know if all cruise lines do this but I had read on her a couple of years ago that you could go to the RC website and print off a release form. Then you could take it to your local store and make copies.

I am sorry I don't know if the link is still on the website. Hopefully some one with more knowledge will post.

Hi,

 

it is listed in the Q & A on this page:

If you click through that link to the release form, you'll discover that it covers a number of ships on several cruise lines - Disney, Cunard, Celebrity, NCL, and others. Just FYI.

Another fact FYI - the photo release is valid for 30 days from the date it is granted. So I guess it's best to bookmark the release application page and print it when you need it.

Hi,

 

The photos taken on the ship have to cover the cost of the cameras, equipment, the personnel ( the photographers and the people working behind the scenes) the chemicals and their high cost of disposal - all of that amounts to many thousands of dollars. I just read on one of the posts posted by someone working on the ships that "his" particular cruise ship paid $72 thousand just for the disposal of the chemicals from one cruise. So taken everything in consideration perhaps the high price of the pictures is justified.

In my mind I would think that taken the picture with someone's camera of the people that are posing for the photographer is wrong.

I don't know when this occurred, but most ships today do not use chemicals, as their cameras are all digital. At least that was true on my last four Holland America cruises. I watched the camera person check their LCD after taking a picture , and then retaking when necessary.

 

Cheers,

I agreee with your observation about the cameras, but perhaps the prints are still produced by a photochemical process. Even the digital printers at the drugstore use chemicals...
