Creator's Key Takeaways

Miss the window or checking late and you'll be slow behind all the other cruisers while actually on board having their lunch, enjoying the pools, and enjoying their room itself.

One secret tip here, the online check-in opens at 12:00 midnight Eastern time. So, very important is 12:00 midnight Eastern time, not wherever the ship departs from.

The passport itself is an important requirement here, even though actually the sheet goes nowhere. But, one very important thing for the purpose of the check-in is that you need to make sure that you have your passport ready.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Prepare a photo of your passport page in advance for faster uploading.
โœ“Use the web version of the check-in instead of the app for better speed/reliability.
โœ“Set your reminder for 12:00 midnight Eastern Time, not your local time.
โœ“Prepare a security headshot (under 10MB) before the check-in window opens.
โœ“Don't arrive too early at the terminal as there are limited seats and air conditioning.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Disadvantageous check-in window โ€” Be ready exactly when the window opens (30 days out) and use the midnight Eastern Time tip to beat the crowd.
Confusion between check-in and activity booking โ€” Understand that check-in is for documentation/arrival time, while activity booking is for onboard experiences.
