I posted a reply to Greg's identical inquiry over on CC, similar to Dreps' initial reply above, so I hadn't posted here.

Lauri, I didn't suggest trying to transfer photos via iCloud as an alternative to carrying a laptop because I can't imagine the slow Internet service on the Regent ships would be effective for transferring photos in bulk. Uploading a few photos, sure, but uploading everything you've shot on a cruise? No way.
