fpcruiser Posted January 22, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2020 We are a party of 9 leaving for our cruise in less than 2 weeks. Seven of us have expedited arrival, two do not. My dd and I downloaded the Royal app months ago and while I asked the other couple to do it they put it off till yesterday. I don't know if that is why theirs is not expedited or not. The question is, will they be allowed to go through the expedited process with us? They are my son in laws parents. We want a group photo in front of the ship canvas before we get on. We will have a 3 year old and a 1 1/2 year old and I am afraid they will get ansy if we have to wait for the other 2 to get through the line. Has anybody had experience with this? Thanks!

Clarea Posted January 22, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Most likely they will let you all stay together. If not, the difference is not all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smakl Posted January 22, 2020 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I don't believe the app has anything to do with it. I had my entire family download the app and we all checked in from it - they all got expedited and I did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulsacoker Posted January 22, 2020 #5 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I thought expedited arrival had to do with facial recondition check in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallasm Posted January 22, 2020 #8 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Have you checked if there is a photo uploaded in your you Check-in? If no photo no Expedited Arrival! Edit your Check-in and check for photo (using PC or App) - if no photo you can either upload from PC or take a photo using the App. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either upload photo from laptop or take a photo with App - both will work. But check if the photo is visible in the app - edit check in using the App. other Information might be missing for check-in.

No, just because there is a photo in the check in , doesn't guarantee expedited boarding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smakl Posted January 22, 2020 #16 Share Posted January 22, 2020 My problem was I manually entered the passport information instead of scanning it. I edited my check-in and scanned the passport and now I have expedited check in. Thanks for the tip soremekun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did edit two check-in - added photo for one check-in and got ‘Expedited’ - no photo in the other and not expedited. Added photo and check-in changed to ‘Expedited’. Did scan passport for both.

Did check in through the app, scanning passport with app and taking picture, exactly the same way for myself and husband. I got expedited on both our Serenade October cruise and our December Anthem cruise, he did not. Same thing for my upcoming Mariner cruise, I have expedited and my Mom does not. I scanned her passport and helped her take the picture, but she does not have expedited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulsacoker Posted January 22, 2020 #22 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I assume it is for everyone who does the online check in through the app...maybe its like the TSA-Pre random generator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC2626 Posted January 23, 2020 #24 Share Posted January 23, 2020 We sailed in December on Mariner with our son who did not have a passport and some family that did not have a passport. Most of us had expedited but those 2-3 did not. They allowed us all to stay together and we were on quickly typical with the expedited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpcruiser Posted January 23, 2020 Author #25 Share Posted January 23, 2020 UPDATE: the couple in question edited their checkin through the app and this time scanned their passport. They now have expedited arrival. Thanks for all the tips! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
