Yeah, you have to send them a picture of yourself when you sign up, like you do for a passport or a drivers license.
It gets attached to your account and when you get on the boat you are given an ID card to use to make onboard purchases and to disembark from the boat. Every time you leave or get on the boat they make sure the photo on your account matches who you say you are.
- 0xffff2 5y agoIs this a post-COVID thing? I've been on about a dozen cruises, most on Royal Caribbean ships, and they have always taken a photo at check in. I've never submitted one in advance.
- mixmastamyk 5y agoI took a cruise about five years ago, it was a smaller line, no photos were involved. I don’t think I’d submit to them either.
- kazinator 5y agoCruises are international travel, so I'm surprised anyone would be surprised by ID checks.

- asciimov 5y agoI submitted a photo in 2018 as well, probably as part of an online pre-registration. I think during this particular trip the lady also retook our photos with her tablet.
