Ask It: Ready for Your DCL Close-Up?
Confession time: I had thought about doing “What D23 announcement are you most excited about?” but by Saturday night, I knew that there was no way to fit all possible options in a week’s worth of polls! Instead, I thought it best to go with something completely different.
On the Disney Cruise Line ships, a private photography company handles the professional photographs on board. From the “Just take my picture so I can get on the ship” embarkation photo to the “Wow, we all clean up good” formal night pictures and everything in between, it is possible to get a variety of pictures taken during your cruise. One drawback is that these photos don’t come cheap. A single photo can run you $15-20, and packages can run several hundred dollars. Yet photos do provide a great way to keep memories for future years.
This week we’re asking:
When you take a Disney Cruise, do you buy the professional photos taken on board?
- No photos for me (46%, 95 Votes)
- Maybe a couple pics (38%, 79 Votes)
- I'll take a whole package! (16%, 33 Votes)
Total Voters: 207
Loading ...The poll is open here and on Twitter, and we’ll have your results on the blog next week.

Why have their been so many Ask It posts focused on DCL? The minutiae of cruises (even Disney cruises) is getting a little ridiculous. Are you guys at Ask It all just really huge fans? Did you just go on a DCL cruise? What am I missing?
Thanks for the question! If I’m counting correctly, since Ask It started, there have been 15 surveys about WDW, 5 “miscellaneous surveys” (Pin Trading, trip to Universal, How often you vacation, how much on souvenirs, whether preferred rooms are worth it), and 4 about DCL. So about 17% of the Ask It questions have been about DCL.
But yes, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a big DCL fan — and I did cruise recently. 🙂
On our last Disney cruise in March, I pre-purchased the photo package, and I definitely got my money’s worth. We got more than 150 photos taken, both portraits and candids, so we ended up getting all those digitally, which breaks down to less than $1 per photo. I was also able to print any of my photos I wanted on board for only $5, while other people on board who wanted even just one photo had to pay $20. I made a photo book and a calendar with our photos and it is nice to be able to share them all on social media. To me, it is well worth it. I think photos are the best souvenir.
