Pickels Posted December 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Just two quick questions for those who have embarked the ship with the medallion---1) how important is the security photo that you have on your app? 2) Is it an issue if you don't have one uploaded? thanks!

marden1970 Posted December 6, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 6, 2023 We've never put a security picture on the app. They take ours at check in. We are embarking next week and app shows we are in the green lane without a picture. Happy sailing!🚢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska05 Posted December 6, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I had taken one beforehand and it was on the app. They took another one at check-in for both me and my husband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NP at all! They frequently take or retake them upon checkin anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaDon Posted December 6, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Of all the pre trip items, we found the security picture surprisingly easy to do. We each took one several years ago with our phone, and have not given it any thought since, nor do we recall having to even slow down when boarding the last several cruises. It went great. So I went and looked at our pictures (had to use each of our phones - security, after all) We looked a bit younger, and better, but clearly it was us. I suggest trying to do it before hand, it will save time when at the terminal, and you are sure to end up with a better looking picture. Bon Voyage! Edited December 6, 2023 by CaliforniaDon correct info: Wife's was a head shot placed in our pictures on the phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted December 6, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 6, 2023 They are very particular about the security picture just like passports photos. No big deal they can snap your picture on boarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissP22 Posted December 6, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 6, 2023 You can upload you own but if they think it not a good representation, they'll just shoot another replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optional. If you don't upload your photo you stay in the blue lane on the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First I've heard that, but good to know. But we'll make sure we both have our pictures in the app if we decide to upload them.

Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted December 6, 2023 #11 Share Posted December 6, 2023 *IF* you have somewhat of a sailing history...they will "roll over" your previous security phots. We have never uploaded any ourselves. They took new pics probably 5 or 6 cruises back (~3 years) and we've never had to have any new ones taken. YMMV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
