Hello,
I have booked a westbound transatlantic cruise for July 2022, Southampton to New York on QM2. I am a little bit confused by what I need to do to prepare for it. In particular, I would like to ask fellow travelers about the online check-in.
Is it mandatory? Does it replace the previous face to face check-in at Southampton where a Cunard employee used to ask for your passport, credit card, booking number and took a photo of you?
Also, on the Cunard website, it says you need a Passport-style photo for each guest for online-check-in. How do you upload this photo online? Do you need a scanner to scan your passport photo or can you take a picture with your phone and upload it?
I traveled on QM2 before and I don't remember there was an online check-in. Just showed up at the terminal and then checked in at the desk upon number being called. Has it been replaced by the online check-in?
Thank you all,
