Rare PugM0m Posted August 20 #1 Share Posted August 20 Is there anyway to complete check in without adding a photo? I would like to get some of my check in done and go back and add the photo later. I have tried online and on the app and it will not let me save the health and safety along with my check in time, without a photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PugM0m Posted August 20 Author #2 Share Posted August 20 (edited) I managed to get past this. 😁 I tried to save these pictures three times, then got a message that they would take them at the port. I wonder what's wrong with them? 🤣 I forgot to click the button for a head covering...right? Edited August 20 by PugM0m 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis1138 Posted August 20 #3 Share Posted August 20 It's possible to check in without a photo. Just go through it 4 times and the website gives up and says you'll have the photo done at the terminal. There's no need to do joke photos with a dog on your head. Just keep clicking until the check in decides to let you advance. I usually take my selfie direct staring at the phone with a white wall behind me. It's generally accepted by the check in. It needs to be head on for the face recognition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep clicking until the check in decides to let you advance. The photo filter is a little less sensitive now. The photo needs to be on a plain background, face straight into the camera (no cutesy side views), no glasses, no head covering, no cheesy smile, high resolution. Basically a passport mug shot. On our May and August cruises, the ports were using facial recognition to get into the terminal (i.e., pre-security). In NYC, without a valid facial recognition match, you had to go to a separate [long] line for additional processing. So,,, if you're not wearing your dog when you get to document check, you probably won't match and will be in a self-imposed delay to get someone to manually process you. So, it in your best interest to have a photo on file so you can enter the terminal quickly and efficiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did not actually save the pictures with us wearing the "jaunty chapeau." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are are departing from Quebec, my plan is to take some proper pictures and upload them later. Did not want to wake DH at 2am for photos, bad enough that I was up that early for work.😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Anoynmous Phoenix Posted August 20 #12 Share Posted August 20 @PugM0m When doing the check in use the computer to take a photo. If the website will not accept then clear the photo. Take another photo and try again If it still doesn't accept do it two more times (total of 4) It then allows you to pass as it says they will do your photos at the por. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have had it go more smoothly when using our tablet instead of the laptop.. Husband did our last check in using the tablet. He used a photo of me he already had saved in the tablet, cropped properly to show just my face, and he took a new picture of himself. It definitely can be frustrating sometimes. Those head coverings are very cute though!! Edited August 20 by Cruising Lynne error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately only one of us can wear it at a time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizfish Posted August 21 #16 Share Posted August 21 Careful...if your doggo realises what you are taking the pics for, they will surely insist on going with you. And then you will have to start another thread about emotional assistance dogs vs. service dogs and we all know what that leads to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a mystery! I have tried the same picture on 5 cruises. Accepted on 3, not accepted on 2. Go figure. Next online checkin for me is on Sunday. Will certainly try the same pic again!

Rare cruiseny4life Posted August 21 #21 Share Posted August 21 Oh, I love this thread!! Thanks for the laugh! Ignore the naysayers. They know not what fun is. I take silly photos that sometimes get accepted/sometimes don't. Every time, serious or not, they retake the photo when I check-in at the pier. And every time, I've always used facial recognition. Keep those doggo photos coming! You have a cutie pie!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanBill Posted August 21 #22 Share Posted August 21 Does the computer doing check in have to take the photo or can you provide one already saved? There is no way to get a bright picture with plain background from my home. I can only get that at work or a passport photo place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
