Review summary
Everything was great. My only complaint is about the cost of the photos. The cost of the pictures was outrageous. So sad that greed dominates this feature of this service. Carnival is big on recycling. Why then would they not sell all photos taken at a pan affordable cost? My suggestion is $100.00 for ALL the pictures. They end up in the GARBAGE. To me, if it were my business, I would rather the photos be on the shelves of happy passengers, who ever time they look at these lovely photos, they remember the awesome memories from their Carnival Cruise.
Disgusting to think they would rather have them in the trash. Not to mention the time it took to put security stickers on the backs of each photo-disgustingly greedy!!! The people taking the pictures were kind and professional and did a great job. The criticism is directed at the OUTRAGEOUS cost of the pictures. It would have cost my family 800 to buy our photos. This is after 2800 for the cruise, 250 for the insurance, 270 in gratuity, 900 in shore excursions, 150 in Bingo, 100 in additional tips and we are MIDDLE class people. So sad.....

Ship tip
Pay extra for Fast to the Fun. It is worth it. Take your own pictures. The cost of the pictures taken by Carnival are cost prohibitive. If enough people DECLINE this service, perhaps Carnival would rethink the cost they attach to this service. Ask the photographer to use your camera.
