Carnival Cruise Lines introduced its new self-service digital photo printing kiosks that is says provide a convenient and cost-effective way for passengers to download vacation photos.
The system, adapted for a shipboard environment by Pixel Magic, is expected to be expanded fleet-wide by the end of the year.
Pixel Magic’s iStation 150 photo printing kiosks are near the ship’s photo galleries.
Guests simply insert a memory card from their digital camera into a card reader to print photos. Images are then printed within seconds. Guests can also customize photos.
Also new at Carnival is a photo-retrieval kiosk being beta-tested on the Carnival Pride’s seven-day cruises from Long Beach, Calif.
Carnival says the new system is the first of its kind in the cruise industry. It utilizes ImageWare System Inc.’s “facial recognition technology” that matches a guest’s likeness with stored “Fun Ship” vacation photos.
