Creator's Key Takeaways

I am going on a PNO Cruises five night Belgium and the Netherlands cruise in March 2025 sailing on Pos's Iona.

I am cruising solo, so I would just be checking in for myself.

My port arrival time is 2:30 in the afternoon. As I said earlier with PO, you cannot choose your boarding time.

I would always recommend if you're paying by cash to go to reception once you get on board and load your account with cash.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Complete passport information and guest details for check-in.
โœ“Provide card details for onboard purchases, preferably a credit card to avoid holds on debit cards.
โœ“Upload a photo for security and onboard spending identification.
โœ“Download and print boarding passes and luggage labels.
โœ“Put your telephone number on the luggage label and use a plastic holder.
โœ“Arrive close to your port arrival time to avoid queues.

Choosing a check-in time โ€” P&O assigns your boarding time based on cabin grade and loyalty status; you cannot choose it.
Onboard spending and card holds โ€” Use a credit card to avoid holds on debit cards that might decline bills.
Luggage label preparation โ€” Always put your telephone number on the luggage label and use a plastic holder for protection.
