du4mch Posted January 28 #1 Share Posted January 28 So, on our last cruise we added our photo at check in on the app prior to our departure. However, they still took out picture at the pier. Why do they need the picture supplied during registration? I'm asking because we're starting check in for an upcoming cruise and I'm at that stage again.

crzndeb Posted January 28 #2 Share Posted January 28 (edited) I never take my picture beforehand, since they seem to always retake at the port. It’s not mandatory. Edited January 28 by crzndeb 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent added a photo last 2 years, maybe 15 cruises. Useless imo too. Not required, why add it. They always take a new photo for me too. Just skip when you get there. I check the box ok to use for boarding or whatever, not the full release. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanna Be Retired Posted January 28 #5 Share Posted January 28 I quit taking mine. They always tell me mine are unacceptable. I let them take them since I am such a bad photographer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted January 28 #6 Share Posted January 28 I just use what I last used for a passport renewal. Never any retakes at the port after supplying that during check-in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a second try always goes through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mum2Mercury Posted January 28 #11 Share Posted January 28 I, too, have uploaded pictures only to have them re-take at the pier. I think they're very fussy about nothing in the background /straight-on image -- like a passport picture. But I've tried to turn in what I think they want, and they still re-take. Not like it adds any real time to your check-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare livingonthebeach Posted January 28 #13 Share Posted January 28 I once changed my photo after I got the boarding pass and guess what? I was denied boarding and had to go through a special line that took forever until I was able to board. Never again. I let them take my pics.

They are sticklers for background and such.... even want you to wear a shirt in the picture 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
