Florida Glamazon Posted July 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Howdy- Silly question of the day from Mrs. Over-planaholic: Can you use a selfie that you took a while ago on your check in? I plan on trying the check in at 12:01am on the night that we are able to check in (meaning the 1st moments of check in day) and I'd rather not snap a selfie with my jammies on & scary hair. Thanks in advance, Your pal Medusa (LOL) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another_Critic Posted July 26, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Yes, you can use an old selfie. But, you can also skip the selfie and go back and do it later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfguyxxx Posted July 26, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I've just used the same picture for the last 5 cruises. Dorian Gray; here I come 😂 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted July 26, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 26, 2022 We don't upload a photo. We skip that and have our photo take at terminal. Takes them 2 seconds. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, Your pal Medusa (LOL) You can pretty much use any picture where you can isolate the head Took this in June of 21 and after cropping, have used it on 10+ cruises since restart 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. The one time I tried to do it ahead they retook it anyway so now I don’t bother. Same thing with vax card. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted July 26, 2022 #9 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Add me to the "I never post picture" on check in app. They take it at the port check in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poocher Posted July 26, 2022 #10 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I suck at taking selfies. Let them do it at the terminal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably will again anyway. 😉 Actually many times, they have to redo the photo for us...as even their first photo did not work well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OCSC Mike Posted July 26, 2022 #14 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I used a cropped picture from inside Radiance in Alaska from 2018 on our recent B2B. When the crew member running our turn around got to us (in the Star Lounge) and looked us up on his tablet, he knew exactly where the picture was taken just from the background (a wall with what I'll call lit up stars up near the DL I think). Think we took it b/c we thought the wall looked cool. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njkruzer Posted July 26, 2022 #17 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Last time I tried to download a picture I had used before they didn't like it. They took our photos at the port checkin. No problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could rightfully say that hadn't happened to you or any of your travel companions, but categorically saying they usually won't is probably not justified. I can report from my few data points that yes, sometimes they do insist on taking it, and I always use my passport photo, so it has nothing to do with the criteria. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, Your pal Medusa (LOL) If it fits their parameter, absolutely. I need to do that, and keep using the same one. I stopped taking them because they never are acceptable and they do a retake at the terminal anyway. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passport photo criteria is a little tighter than Royal's. Odd that would fail. It might be ship/port specific I will add that half the time I use the pic mentioned above, it rejects it, to low resolution. But I just resubmit and it goes through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
