Photo Pass

What's included

About this module

Photo Pass lives at /photos and is the captured-media primitive: one system for cruise, theme park, resort, event, wedding, school, and sports photography. A photographer working the floor uploads their shots, and every photo runs through the platform image-moderation pipeline before a guest can ever see it. The photo is then attributed to the person it is of — resolved by their cabin card, wristband, or a QR scan. That token is only a key that looks up the canonical guest; the photo belongs to the person, not to whoever is holding a ticket. A family photo tags every person in it, so it appears in each family member's gallery, while a stranger caught in the background is never tagged.

The moment a photo is approved and tagged, it fans out into that guest's own gallery in their Personal context — no "claim your photos" step, because membership is the subscription. The guest browses their photos as watermarked previews and buys the way they buy everything else on property: an individual photo posts as a single charge to their one closed-loop on-property account and settles at the end of the trip, or a day guest with no account pays by card on a branded checkout. The all-photos Photo Pass is the Memory Maker: one price that unlocks every photo they are tagged in. It is not a new billing system — it is the same prepaid-package primitive the spa uses for thermal passes, carrying a photo.all entitlement, so buying it unlocks all their photos with no separate ledger to reconcile.

The watermark-free original is delivered only after purchase, through a short-lived signed link, and once bought it is the guest's forever — account-for-life means their vacation photos never expire behind a paywall they already paid. Face-match auto-tagging is powerful but biometric-privacy sensitive, so it is deliberately deferred to a later, explicitly consent-gated phase; today photos are attributed by scan and by staff tagging. Photo Pass reuses the guest account, the prepaid-package primitive, the moderation pipeline, and the identity graph — so it is mostly the same rails the rest of the property already runs on, pointed at memories.

What you can do with it

• Run a cruise ship's photo program — formal night, ports, and character meets tagged to each guest and charged to their folio

• Sell a theme-park all-day Memory Maker pass that unlocks every ride and character photo a family is in

• Let a wedding photographer drop each guest's photos straight into their gallery to buy prints and downloads

• Give a resort a single desk where a guest buys one sunset photo or the whole gallery, settled at checkout

• Tag a school or sports photo day by roster so every athlete owns their own photos across every season
