Iluv4n6 Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 We have a 6-person family cruise coming up on Feb 6 and I've linked the 3 reservations/cabins for CP purchases. After doing this, It looks like I probably would be able to check us all in at the same time (with family member PP Nos and head shots handy). But I thought I'd double-check this in case a family member listed on each reservation needs to login to complete their own check in. Each reservation has at least one adult, so separate check-ins would not be all that hard to do. I would just rather take care of all the check-ins for our family at the same time for ease of mind, and so I know we all have the same arrival appointment. Any clarification on the extended family check-in process is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Do you actually have to upload a photo in advance? I suck at taking them & would rather just let them do it at the terminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was like you and the ones I took never worked once I arrived but it is easy now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Not as concerned about them working as I am about looking AWFUL in them!! I can not get the hang of holding the phone at the right angle. And I don’t want to look awful every time someone scans my seapass card.

Any clarification on the extended family check-in process is appreciated. I've done this for my family who are technologically challenged . I did it on my PC because I prefer to do stuff like that with a proper keyboard and a decent-sized screen but it can be done on the app too. You don't need to upload photos; they will do them at the terminal and it will add about 5 seconds per person to the time spent with the agent. That's probably less time than you'll spend trying to upload them. You will need the details of their ID docs. I got my family to give me copies of the information page of their passports to use for the purpose. That avoided possibly noting a number down incorrectly.

Okgladgal Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 You can skip the photo part while using the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @FionaMG, for confirming what looks pretty obvious on the website...that I can check in everyone in our family through the linked reservations. But I have learned the hard way that what looks obvious to me may not match how a website or app actually "works." And I am with you about doing check-ins and the majority of my pre-cruise stuff on the website. To save us those total 30 seconds (6 cruisers x 5 sec each), we have head shots of everyone in portrait and landscape mode. Will be interesting to see if RC still only accepts landscape photos for online check in a couple weeks like was the case a couple months ago.

DunwoodyDad Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 I recently checked in for 3 cabins that were all linked. I did it from the app and it didn’t require any other log-ins since all 3 cabins appeared together and I could select the check-in process for each. I was focused on making sure I got the same check in time for all 3 so there are some things that I skipped. For instance, I skipped the passport entry/scan because I didn’t have them handy at the time. I was able to get those added later.

Thanks @DunwoodyDad I may try the app check-in this time for expediency. for comparison, I don't this the website check in process requires an image of the passports, just the passport numbers. Good to know you can add the passport info later and get the same check-in appointment for everyone right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunwoodyDad Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 To be clear, I’m pretty sure I selected something like drivers license/birth certificate which didn’t require the detailed numbers so I could get the check-in times done. Then a few days later, I pulled everyone’s passports and went back and changed the document type and scanned the bar codes. Same thing for vaccine cards which I added later.
