jeanlyon Posted October 18, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I presume if our friend who doesn't have either a mobile or computer can do this at the port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indiana123 Posted October 19, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 19, 2021 We did ours, then they did them again at the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ's Posted October 24, 2021 #7 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Just received an email informing us that check-in is now open for our cruise next month. Guess what? No it isn't!! Got quite excited but the check-in icon is greyed out, in fact all the icons are greyed out. Why do P&O do this? No cabin number either so not much point in printing anything off even if I could. Will keep checking this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ's Posted October 27, 2021 #11 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Still cannot access online check-in and it is 3 days since we received the email from P&O informing us that it was open. We booked direct with them so do you think I should TRY to ring them to see if there is a problem? Maybe I should be just a bit more patient?

Just out of interest who have you booked with direct with P&O or a TA. We had a similar situation with Cunard for our cruise next Monday when Cunard said check in was open online which it was but it wouldnt let me print e-ticket or luggage labels. Was like this for a while so was getting worried and contacted Cunard and they said it was because my TA had not paid the balance to Cunard even though I had paid TA over a month earlier. They told me to contact TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ's Posted October 27, 2021 #14 Share Posted October 27, 2021 We booked direct with P&O so no TA is involved. I'll give it until the weekend and then try to ring P&O next Monday as it will then be 3wks before departure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just think, spend an hour, max, doing all that stuff and then....... off on holiday.⛱️🏄🐬🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a suggestion, but I had a problem with the e-ticket and luggage labels as well but found that I had pop-ups disabled in my browser. Once I enabled pop-ups both of these were able to be printed straight away. Something else you could try, and let us all know if it works as it will help others.

Just to chip in, I was surprised to get the email informing me check in was open as it's 4 weeks before my cruise. It's exactly the same with me, check-in icon is greyed out.

kalos Posted October 27, 2021 #21 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Just below the greyed out boxes there is a link that advises the following ... Necessary steps Your E-tickets and Luggage Labels will be ready when: You’re within three weeks of sailing You’ve completed your personal details Your cabin has been assigned When printing your e-tickets and luggage labels please ensure you've enabled pop-ups. If you're experiencing issues when trying to print e-tickets or luggage labels, please check back and retry closer to departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion but I tried disabling pop-ups and all 3 icons are still greyed out. I think that it will be next week before I can check-in online (21 days before embarkation). Will let you know if I'm successful or it looks like a phone call to P&O. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denarius Posted October 28, 2021 #23 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Back to the original question. I always keep a spare copy of my passport photograph and create a digital copy; I have a printer/scanner. I can then use this whenever it becomes necessary to upload a photo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photos uploaded are really only used to replace the ones they used to take for use by the ships security when going ashore and nowadays on their tablet when you order a drink etc. Having said that I also just scanned a copy of my last passport photo.
