What do you do with all your Carnival cruise photos?

[crooooze]

Thanks to digital cameras, we usually come home from a 7 day cruise with nearly 1000 pictures. We take pictures of virtually anything and everything. We used to just dump them on our PC, look at them a couple of times and forget about them.

 

Now we go through them as soon as we get home, pick out 10-20 favorite ones, print them, and put them in one of those hanging photo collage frames.

 

 

We decorated our entire foyer wall with these... makes for great conversation with visiting friends and relatives.

 

What do you do?

We pick out 4-5 best ones - we usually take one picture onboard that has ship name and date -- add that pic to it and hang it on the wall in the hallway, stairwell, breakfast nook anywhere to decorate the walls or coffee tables.

I made a photo book from York photo with ours on our last cruise. My parents went with us, so I made them one also for a Christmas present. I do like the idea of the large photo collages.

Thanks!!!:D

Apparently DW puts them in a drawer never to be seen again:eek:

I create a shutterfly photo book after most cruises. Such fun to look back through between cruises. Last one I did has a double page spread just of food porn. Lol.

This is a great idea, thanks!

 

We are going on our first cruise in just under three months, and I think we will be doing this when we arrive back home. This is by far better than just letting them sit on my computer.

I use a 1 inch or 1and1/2 inch 3 ring binder for each big trip or cruise. I have an old Kodak photo album program on the computer that will put as few or as many photos on a 8x11 page as I want. Then I punch holes in the pic sheets. It's easy to edit since it works much like MS Publisher to do edits of size, placement of pics and text on the pages. I store other memorabilia in clear page protectors.

 

It works for me as a good way to relive my trip after we return and to go back and look up something later. Our granddaughters love to look through the albums and hear our travel stories. And yes ... I'm a retired school teacher so this is actually Fun for me LOL

we usually cruise with friends so we put all of our photos into one facebook album so everyone can see all of them. we never print photos anymore.

I make a photo book of each cruise. Walgreens.com allows you to upload unlimited number of pictures and create books from them. They have photo coupons for half priced books every couple of weeks so I create a book and wait for a coupon sale to order the printed copy. A small scale 20 page book costs about $5 in a paperback format. Easy to have more than one printed to share with travel companions. In a hurry? They have hard backed ones that can be done in a couple of hours and printed out on site ready for pick up. Cost is about $25 but with the half off coupon $12.50 is not bad for a great souvenir.

My bathroom is decorated with cruise theme and I have dedicated a wall to cruise pictures - I hung a rope in a zigzag shape around a large sea shell decorated wreath - from the rope I use small bulldog clips to hold snap shots from the cruises - my grandsons love to steal their favorites off the rope to take home allowing me to change them out periodically. Again, I have lots printed at Walgreens when I have a print coupon - they are often 10 cents each so I can get 25 -50 to allow friends and relatives with whom I cruise to steal some from the display wall.

We both take loads of phots where ever we go. Returning home I put them on an external hard drive. Edit out the out of focus ones, and save the rest in catagories, cruises, family, trips etc. I do look back through the photos periododically. Enjoy looking at where we have been.

Same here. I've made Shutterfly photo books of both our cruises. This last cruise on the Dream we bought several elegant night photos, and got a coupon for a free Shutterfly photo book. DW is also a scapbooker, so she also make some scrap books to enjoy....

[deborahjo]

I have a photo album of each of my cruises. Love this to look back at.

I put some cruise photos in my classroom

[makavide]

We have a digital photo frame specifically for vacations. At the end of the cruise I go through all the photos pick out a bunch and then add them to the drive attached to the digital photo frame. Then sit back, relax and check out the photos of all of our vacations as they scroll through randomly. The frame sits near the TV so it catches your eye every once in a while.

I make Shutterfly photo books. I put the professional Carnival pics on the wall behind my couch. That wall is probably worth hundreds of dollars! Lol. Photos are my weakness.

I upload my faves to a Facebook album to share then I make Shutterfly photo books for each cruise. I frame ship purchased images and enlarge and hang my very favorite ones around the house. I also hang some on my bulletin board in my office 😉

For our first five Carnival cruises, they sold white photo albums with a picture of the ship on the cover. We would put our 8x10s and 5x7s in there and get another regular photo album for all of the pictures we took. Then they quit selling the white ones so we went with the black ones they have now.

 

DW put some on a disc but we never seem to get that out to look at them like we do the albums.

I also use shutterfly. I have a book for the last 5 or 6 cruises. Love them.

[sgttami]

I used to make little albums of each cruise.....back in the day when you had to get film developed. (LOL) Sign and sail/sea pass card went in front so I knew which cruise it was.

 

The last few cruises I never even took a picture!

 

Leaving on one tomorrow and I am taking a digital camera so maybe I'll take a few this time.

[jeepchick444]

Make scrapbooks from each cruise :)

[Rock_ON!!]

I use them as screen savers on my Mac . They change every 10 seconds or so, so I can see that while in my kitchen. Also use a digital photo frame with all my favorite pictures scrolling as well.

[buddylover]

The photos we take ourselves with our own cameras, I make albums of each cruise. Of course, I take many more pics than make it into the albums....LOL....and those are just stored away and rarely revisited. The photos taken onboard the ship....we no longer really buy those....only once in a great while to update a formal family/couple picture, and those I hang on a wall and sometimes replacing the older ones and sometimes adding to the collection...it depends.

They're all stuck in a drawer, where I'll probably never look at them again.

[Sparky2]

All of mine are just on my computer along with other vacations to visit family. I do look at them occasionally.

 

I have photo albums dating back to 1977 and have no room for anymore. Since I bought my first Digital camera around 1999, I have only transferred them onto the computer.
