Ship's Photo Opps on Allure?

[ginadc]

We are probably going to buy the digital photo package on our 2/16/14 Allure sailing, as we tend to buy a lot of the pro photos on our cruises and we would spend close to the $299 amount anyway. It's a nice opportunity to get multiple photos of our whole family of five--many of our "group" shots are actually one parent and three kids while the other parent is taking the photo.

 

If we do that, I'll want to make the most of it and get as many photos with the ship's photographer as possible. We may not be disembarking (at least not with the kids) at St. Thomas or Nassau, so we may not get the port photos at one or both of those two stops. I'm trying to make a list of when we can look out for photo opps. Both formal nights are obvious choices--we'll plan on getting photos both at one or more of the areas outside the MDR, as well as at our table. Dreamworks character appearances would be another. Any other good places to look for the pro photographers? Also, does anyone know if photos from the Smile Novelty Studio and Picture This are included in the $299 digital photo package?

 

Thanks!
