D_And_K_gocruising Posted October 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 30, 2023 There are 2 of us going, so when it comes time to do the check in thing, 1 person can do the check in for both parties correct? I mean, the other person doesnt have to have their own account on NCL etc etc? Since I've never had to do this style check in with passports and stuff, just not 100% sure what to expect when the time comes. I know we'll fight getting a picture to be accepted lol, but other than a credit card to put on the room and our passports what other stuff do I need to do the process? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare evanskl4 Posted October 30, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I just checked in the other day for my entire party of 5. Other than the passport and cc info, you just need an emergency contact for each person. It will also ask if you want to purchase a transfer from the airport to port and back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you have everyone send you a picture that will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder why it was necessary as we had to have our photo taken again when checking in at the port the last twice we cruised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKstages Posted October 30, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 30, 2023 you actually didn't have to have your photo taken again. the contract employee who checked you in was on autopilot and did it... just because... out of habit or because he or she thinks its required. but it's not if you supplied an approved photo at online checkin.

I had just stopped doing the online check-in all together, especially since it really doesn't save you much time when you check-in at the port. Maybe I'll go back to doing it if they removed the requirement of uploading a photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even though the online photo says taking your glasses off is required, he had me leave them on, though he did have me take my sunglasses which were on the top of my head off.

Hope it works for you. We had acceptable photos saved to our computer but just two months later they didn't like them🤨 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieNY Posted November 1, 2023 #17 Share Posted November 1, 2023 We find the online check-in usually saves us a lot of time at the port. But last trip DH took his own selfie and insisted I use it without cropping and adjusting the color balance. The program accepted the photo but I thought they might reject it at the port and they did. So he had to have his picture taken again. It only added a couple of minutes more to the process so it wasn't bad. I still remember our first couple of cruises where they didn't have online check-in and we had to do everything at the port. It was a lot longer process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
