When I follow your instructions (which are quite and exactly what we all would have tried in the past, lol) as if to edit checkin for each of my upcoming cruises, I receive an error message “check in has checked out.” Are you using a VPN? Same error message I got when I was also on a ship and tried NonVPN for me I don’t think they even know if they were on a ship or not from the two conflicting responses 🤪 Edited October 1, 2023 by PompeySailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to go to your browser, go to royalcaribbean.com, sign in, and then go to your cruise list to check in. I have had this happen several times. When I talked to IT, they just said that they would refer the problem, nothing they could do onboard. I am pretty sure I checked in on the app for an upcoming cruise from the Oasis a few weeks ago.

I do have a WiFi printer but it’s touchy and for some reason doesn’t work reliably. I sometimes print from my iPad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried uploading an "acceptable" photo several times. I've even tried using one that I used to renew my passport. Nothing has worked. When I got to the port, I was told my picture was not acceptable so they took a new one. Now I don't even bother trying to upload a picture. I just have them take it at the pier. It literally only takes a few seconds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My picture has always had to be retaken so I don't bother anymore. It takes all of 7 seconds for them to take one they are happy with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defender1158 Posted October 3, 2023 #65 Share Posted October 3, 2023 For those who are uncertain whether this is really happening, I was unable to check-in on the website yesterday. I had the following screen: There seemed to be no way to reach the website check-in function. I used the Android phone app to check-in. It went quickly and there were no real problems with it. I am expecting luggage tags to eventually come with the usual "View and print your documents" function that still appears on the website page. Couple of suggestions.... I took a selfie shot of myself using the phone app, but my DW was not immediately available. I did not want to wait while the early check-ins were grabbed up, so I brought up a good face shot jpeg of her on my desktop (I have used this same photo before when you could just upload to the website for check-in) and took a photo of the desktop image with my phone using the app. It seemed to work fine. I am old-fashioned enough to want a physical piece of paper available when checking in (please wait for me, my phone just died). While I can print from my phone, the Android print formatting options are quite limited. I just did an Android save-screen function to produce jpegs of our SetSail Passes, then transferred the jpegs to my desktop. I put them side-by-side into a simple MSWord landscape page, sized them optimally and printed them out. /Greg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
