As you may have heard, Carnival recently introduced a photo package onboard their ships. They started out with a great introductory price, but then dramatically increased the price shortly thereafter.
After a very loud objection to this price increase on social media, today Carnival’s Senior Cruise Director and Brand Ambassador John Heald posted the following on his Facebook wall:
“I wanted to share this with you regarding Pixels Packages
Effective today, our new Pixels pre-cruise photo packages are returning to their introductory pricing. To balance the strong popularity of the most premium package with the onboard photo center resources, there will be a cap on the number of copies guests can order of their unlimited photos to a maximum of 50 prints or 50 digital files. The other two packages remain the same.
In addition, in response to guests’ requests, we are now making these packages available to guests onboard on embarkation day only at special rates (Pixels Essentials: $119.98; Pixels: $239.98; and Pixels Plus: $299.98).
For those guests who had purchased the Pixels photo packages from April 16 -18, we will offer an onboard credit for the difference in price. We will also honor the original Pixels Plus Digital package for those who purchased it before today.
We appreciate our guests’ feedback and are happy that we can provide this great opportunity to preserve their cruise memories with photo packages that meet their needs.
So there you go.
Please let me have your feedback and please do take advantage of these superb photo packages soon.”
