SeaMemories Photography — Caribbean Cruises
📍 Caribbean routes
SeaMemories runs 12 photographers across 3 ships, selling $600k/year with kiosk-only offline-first operations
Cruise ships mean limited internet, captive audience, and 7-day turnaround cycles (guest boards Monday, disembarks Sunday). Fotiqo's offline-first kiosk architecture is critical — galleries are browsed and purchased entirely on the local ship network, then synced at port.
