Creator's Key Takeaways

I would recommend you setting a timer or an alarm about 10 minutes before it's time to log in just so that when it hits 1201 you are ready to go

if you can use the app it will help you I promise and it'll make it a seamless process

make sure that you bring your passport and all of your documentation that we just talked about just in case they need to check it at the Port

Creator's Tips & Advice

Set a timer 10 minutes before online check-in opens at 1201 AM Eastern Standard Time
Download the DCL app ahead of time and use it for online check-in instead of the website
Take passport and visa photos horizontally with no glare
Take security photos of all passengers on a solid white background from shoulders up
Have travel plans and credit card information ready before starting check-in
Save or print the QR code for each passenger after completing check-in
