The photo upload is not mandatory.  If you don't upload, your check-in will take a whole 10 seconds longer.

Wow, a whole 10 seconds longer!! Gee, I don't know if I can live with that or not!!😏 Jest jokin folks.

I uploaded them for our Radiance B2B last May and had to take new ones in the terminal.   The option was not there for our cruises on the Liberty and Rhapsody.  I now see it is there for our upcoming trip on the Vision.  I will probably upload them but I do not have high hope of it making any difference.

Well, 10 seconds x 2400 passengers divided by 60 seconds divided by 60 minutes comes out to about 6.5 hours - hope I'm on the front end of that!

Well, that must have taken quite awhile to figure out, you did the math!! Just jokin, my friend!!

That would be assuming there is only one customer rep checking people in.

I like this idea as I save the picture I take on my computer and just select it when doing the check-in.

I'd say closer to 30 seconds for some people, some agents fumble with it a bit longer.  It's not hard to imagine with a big ship it, might save all the agents a grand total of an hour or so after checking in 5000+ people.   I can imagine where port personnel might always be trying to shave a few minutes off turn around day.

The flaw here is that you are assuming they only have one check-in agent.  Oops, posted to soon.

 

Anyway, I have done the picture several times.  They have always taken one anyway.  The exception was the 2nd leg of our last B2B.  Even though a picture was taken for leg 1, somehow my take at home picture was used for leg 2.

You have to do a photo checkin for Anthem?  Correct?  We are booked on her again in March.  I have done it before and it went smoothly.

No matter how many pictures you take & upload trying to be compliant.

 

They will take your picture at check-in.

 

So don't bother...…...

 

We have done it for two of our cruises with no issues.

This is new since we cruised in 3 months ago.  I am trying to take this picture with our iphones and they are rejected,  I get the message it requires a high res (min 960 x 960 pix).  I see many other folks use their iphone.    I really don't want to buy a camera for this. Thanks for your comments

The photo is optional.  Just skip it and they will take about 5 seconds at check-in to take your photo.

You don't need a camera - a phone camera will work just fine but you may need to adjust the default resolution the camera takes - any decent phone newer than about 5 years old will be good enough.

I used my phone for our pictures and everything went well.
