jamesnnb Posted January 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Does anyone know if there is a pretty good stock of cameras at the Photo Gallery shop on board the Royal Princess. This will be our first time on the Royal and on previous cruises it seemed the cameras have been largely replaced with GoPro, etc., and away from point and shoot camera and DSLRs. If cameras are available, what brands do they carry? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiserkenn Posted January 2, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Not sure about the Royal, but on other ships I have recently seen Nikon cameras, a variety (Emerald, Grand, Star:. My recent 2018 cruises). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potstech Posted January 2, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I have also seen some Canon cameras. The cost of any of them are above what can be gotten from other sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted January 2, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 2, 2019 You will not be saving any money on a ship. I would suggest buying locally before your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ar1950 Posted January 2, 2019 #7 Share Posted January 2, 2019 All of the cameras that I have seen on board the ships have been overpriced by at least 20% from what I could find on land from multiple sources. The same goes with memory cards that are sold separately from the cameras. The only time I have purchased a camera on a ship was a couple of years ago. It was a GoPro and the photo department guy included (for "free") some of our photos with it as a package deal so the price was OK. Buy what you need before you sail would be my thought.
