Christina1003 Posted September 23, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I hope I don't offend anyone by posting this here since it's not a 'cruise' question per se, but it has to do with my catching the Mariner. Anyhow! I was hoping someone could help me - I'm getting married the night before our cruise (obviously our honeymoon!) and I would like to take some of the pictures from our night before with us on the cruise to see. There's so much going on during a wedding and reception you hardly have time to breathe much less see everything as everyone else is. That being said, a family friend is taking pictures with my digital all day and night long and I plan on getting them printed at Ritz Camera. My question is (finally!) is there some place in Port Canaveral that will print pictures while you wait? I.E. I would normally take them to Ritz to be printed before we caught our flight, but if worse came to worse, I could always do it in Port Canaveral. Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?

gailCox Posted September 23, 2004 #3 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Opps... that is at least an hour away. Cocoa Beach is a beach town.. there are places all over to get photos printed in an hour. I think the grocery store (Publix) even does it. gail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingosun Posted September 23, 2004 #4 Share Posted September 23, 2004 There are also drugstores that do it. You will find Walgreens stores scattered all over Cocoa Beach and Merritt Island. (Both are inside of 15 minutes from Port Canaveral.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrouchyOleMom Posted September 23, 2004 #5 Share Posted September 23, 2004 The closest Ritz Camera is in Melbourne Square Mall, about a 40 minute drive from Port Canaveral. Most of the drugstores (Eckerd, Walgreens, CVS) have that service. Best Wishes on your upcoming marriage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HB Cruiser Posted September 23, 2004 #6 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Christina I know for a fact there is a Walgreens (been there) in Cocoa Beach, just north, I think, from RonJons. I am sure you can get your pix developed there. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacquelyn11 Posted September 23, 2004 #8 Share Posted September 23, 2004 They have a 24hr Walmart in town. They also have several Eckerd's (changing to Brown's) drug stores that have the Pics while you wait option. Ask the front desk of where you are staying where the closest or most convient place is to you. Good luck on future marriage and your cruise! Watch out for the "motion on the ocean"! ;) Jacquelyn :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Island Lady Posted September 23, 2004 #9 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Since you are taking pictures with a digital, may I suggest that you do not erase that disk until you can get your pictures printed at a Ritz. They really do make the best prints. Go ahead and develope them for the cruise, and then you can pick your favorites to be developed correctly when you return from your honeymoon. Best wishes!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes!!!:) You and I think alike my dear...;) I'm a Ritz junkie when it comes to my pictures. My plan of action is to stop by and burn all the pictures to a cd before leaving for our hotel that night. Then, they'll be on our pc, on a cd, and they can be deleted from the card when we get them printed in Port Canaveral. At worst, I'll give the drug store pictures to friends as keepsakes, and then reprint the good ones at Ritz like you said. I just want to see the damn things when we go. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christina1003 Posted September 23, 2004 Author #12 Share Posted September 23, 2004 At the risk of sounding stupid, where exactly is Merritt Island from Port Canaveral? I've never been out of Philadelphia except once, so how would I go about getting from the airport to Merritt Island and then to Port? Eek! Am I insane? :p Thank you so so much for all of the help everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyS Posted September 23, 2004 #17 Share Posted September 23, 2004 You can also get prints made on the ship, or in one of your ports. They might not be the cheapest solutions, but they're other options if you want to have pictures on board, and don't need them on the first night.

Atiya Posted September 23, 2004 #18 Share Posted September 23, 2004 You could theoretically fly into Melbourne, but Orlando is the practical answer. As ruttie said, just take the Beeline (528) straight from the airport to the port. This is a toll road, so it's easier if you have some change.

wka_orlando Posted September 24, 2004 #21 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I hate to throw you a curve here but is the Mariner going to leave from Port C anyhow? The hurricanes dumped a lot of sand in the channel and last I heard, the Mariner was boarding down at Ft. Lauderdale and people were being bussed back and forth. You should check to be sure. Mariner has an unusally deep draft due to its size and configuration and Port C lost about 10 feet of depth in the last hurricane. WKA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
