Review summary

it was nice but old, but the price was great so just don't set your expectations to high and you'll have fun. I wish carnival would include the drinks in the cruises like Norwegian does. also when will these ships learn to discount the photos taken I would have bought some if they were $5 each not $21.

That seems like a good approach. A little splurge and you get the nice memory photo without volunteerily flinancing their next cruise ship.

We only buy one picture and that's the picture we get on elegant night.

Yeah, the cost is too much but there are a lot of suckers on that ship who pay it. I’d buy more if cheaper but for now, my wife and I just don’t let them take the pictures. Our last cruise, they only got five of us. Nice part, you don’t have to buy.

Thanks for sharring. I totally agree about realistic expectations. I would also be willing to buy photos if more reasonably priced. It seems that all the cruise lines overprice the photos. I assume a chunk of those funds pay for the army of photographers we see all over the cruise ship.
