JRogers Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 I noticed when completing the online check-in that it provides you with the option to take and upload a picture of yourself, and anyone else that is cruising with you. Is this mandatory? If Yes - what is the best way to accomplish this? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedNoodles Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 No, it's not mandatory. I do it, and have never had any trouble with it, but many people report that they just end up having to retake their photo at the port (which takes no time at all). I just use my cell phone and stand in front of a light, neutral background. But it's no big deal if you don't want to go through the hassle. sk8erguy1978 and Ladyxsuebee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some quick cellphone mugshots did the trick last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 I don't bother with it anymore. The last 2 times they have re-taken our photos anyway...so I don't even bother now. It takes maybe 5 more seconds each to check in. Ladyxsuebee and sk8erguy1978 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltore Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 We did it, only had to retake 1 picture, and even that had a few weird moments on board. Either way wasn't a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatsFanBrian Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 For our cruise last week, we had taken our own picture. At check in, they looked at it and it was good enough. Saw others having their pics taken in the terminal and it only took a few seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptod Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Beware of taking pictures at the terminal!!!! I was wondering why the security staff started greeting me by name before my card dinged me on/off ship. My husband finally suggested that I look at my picture on their screen the next time - turns out he had given me bunny ears while having my picture taken at check-in and the check-in person let it go. Security thought it was funny too. sk8erguy1978, KristiZ, ChrisK2793 and 3 others 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped taking the photo because they always end up re-taking it at the port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pima1988 Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 +1 regarding we no longer do it bc we found that they are very particular about the background color. One time we did it at home in one room, no problem. The next time they had us re-take it at port, same room we used before. They told us that probably this time the sunlight was not as much as before, thus the background color did not meet their standards and that meant they had to do it at the port.

I don't want to judge a book by its cover but he looks like a very very materialistic man. Why do I get a feeling he would buy a ring but never give it to you? He might have commitment issues lol ellcee, Cub, PRebecca and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
