floralscent Posted September 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Can someone please remind me what type of pic we are to take for online check-in? It has been over a year since my last cruise and I can't remember if it is just a head shot needed or if it is okay to have shoulders in the pic too. If I remember correctly, it is sort of like a drivers license pic but I honestly have no recollection of what I did. I was hoping to have pics taken prior to on online check in so I am ready to go when the time comes. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMary4449 Posted September 5, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Head shot like for your driver's license or passport is what they want. If it's not satisfactory, they will take a quick pic when you check in on embarkation day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dateacher Posted September 5, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I always have it done it at embarkation. Never a problem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted September 5, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Ditto. Takes maybe 10 seconds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know why they want this since they ALWAYS retake my photo when boarding. Edited September 5, 2023 by Reijo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare horseymike Posted September 5, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Always get it done at the pier. Easy peasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floralscent Posted September 5, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Thank you!!! I don't recall being able to bypass the photo part at last online check in but maybe I missed it. I do recall the photo part being a bit persnickety though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted September 5, 2023 #9 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Skip the picture. Even if you manage to get one uploaded they often take a new one anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokopelli-az Posted September 6, 2023 #10 Share Posted September 6, 2023 We just boarded the Equinox on Saturday and even though we had already uploaded photos, they took them again. This has happened a few times.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauimary Posted September 6, 2023 #12 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Last cruise we did our own. But at check in they retook them. It was a B2B and then they used our own for the second cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will just take one at the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted September 6, 2023 #14 Share Posted September 6, 2023 The issue with doing it yourself is in order for them to accept it as is and NOT re-take at check-in is you need to ensure there's lots of light; in many cases you'd be best to take it outside on a sunny day. Or just do what most have suggested which is to do nothing and let them take it at the terminal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have taken our own pics the last few times and uploaded as I don’t remember seeing a bypass option to opt out of not taking your own pic. Appreciate the advice everyone!

I never take our pictures pre cruise for check in. Check in, health questionnaire and muster drill is all I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
