Maybe so few people take them up on the offer they think they can con us into thinking we're getting something new... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reallyitsmema Posted December 7, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 7, 2023 It looks like the percentages have changed since October. I quoted original post but post is awaiting approval, so this picture might post twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted December 7, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I don’t think you could get it digital before. You could only get the printed version. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So nice of royal caribbean to allow us to choose digital and it cost them 0 compared to the 50 cent cost printed version 😂 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted December 7, 2023 #11 Share Posted December 7, 2023 There also trying to charge extra for photos in specialty restaurants, we let them take pictures in wonderland and chops and they were trying to sell them with a photo book, all we were interested in was our free diamond photo, this was going to be extra . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnydaysmile Posted December 7, 2023 #12 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I think the addition of the digital print is the beginning of the elimination of the printed photo. Kinda like changing the name of the Diamond lounge to the crown lounge....and then limiting Diamond members. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i agree on this. this is definitely a catch. Happens to us every cruise. Photos from specialty restaurants are put into folder/holder thing that has the restaurant name and that disqualifies you from using the free one. But luckily you can use your % discount to get it for the low low price of … whatever … something not free. shocker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruiselvr04 Posted December 7, 2023 #15 Share Posted December 7, 2023 On Radiance who still prints pictures, speciality restaurants pictures were part of the regular photos. On the newer ships it is not. 30% off a print is new. We bought an extra photo last cruise and we were charged full price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood taking pictures at the dining table. I would rather do it where there's an interesting backdrop. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanna Be Retired Posted December 8, 2023 #20 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Remember when they used to print all those photos out and put them in those shelves? You would stand there and go through them looking for yours but you would see everybody else’s too. That was a very long time ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I've gotten digital since we turned diamond early in 2022... For us the percentage off the second picture or package is the only difference I can see.
