Editorial Summary

The creator provides a comprehensive walkthrough of the updated Disney Cruise Line online check-in process, highlighting a new tiered system introduced in May 2023. This system allows guests with Castaway Club status to check in earlier than first-time cruisers. For example, the new Pearl tier and concierge guests can check in up to 40 days before sailing, while Platinum, Gold, and Silver members have varying windows of early access. The video guides viewers through each digital step, including entering guest information, uploading passport photos, and providing security selfies. The creator emphasizes the importance of clear documentation and warns against using filters for security photos. Additionally, the tutorial covers setting up onboard accounts, managing financial responsibility for travel companions, and inputting travel plans. The process concludes with selecting a port arrival time and reviewing the cruise contract. Finally, the creator explains how to locate boarding groups and QR codes, recommending that guests save these to a mobile wallet for easy access during embarkation.

Pearl and concierge guests will now be able to check in up to 40 days prior to their sale dates that is a whole 10 day Head Start ahead of brand new Disney Cruisers

I am not sailing with children I personally do not know what additional steps need to be taken to sail with children

you do need to put a credit card down so make sure you have that out and ready to go
