What do I need to have prepared for online check-in?

[Doingitagain]

I have taken a picture of my passport and it's very clear in showing everything that is necessary but I I'm wondering do I have to submit the picture at check-in vertically or horizontally. Unfortunately I have only been able to get all the information if taking it horizontally. I would really appreciate if somebody could tell me so I have everything ready to go.
Thank you in advance!

You should be fine. The biggest thing is to have the full bar code piece on the bottom so it uploads. If it doesn’t you will need to manually enter it. You could have a couple versions of the photos handy if one doesn’t fit. Remember…save and get through to get your PAT, then you can go back and fix uploads.

Thanks so much for answering. I will definitely have two ready to go.

In addition to the above answer, don’t worry if the site’s display of your passport photo is sideways, especially if the character recognition works to pull in your data (name, passport #, etc.).

My passport photo displayed sideways, so I used the site’s tool to rotate it, but then the character recognition didn’t work and I had to type in the info, AND my photo was later rejected bc unbeknownst to me, using the site’s rotation tool cut off part of the image.

I resubmitted, left it sideways, character recognition worked, and the photo was accepted. Definitely save yourself some effort!

I just checked into our Wish cruise today. It was super easy on the app, but my question is, now that we have the scans on our digital Apple wallet, is it necessary I print out the "arrival form" too? Isn't that redundant?

Some people like the paper backup in case of technological hiccup like a dead phone (my husband is one of them; I am not), but no, it’s not necessary.
