How Do I Complete Cruise Line Check-In? When should I check in?

Modified on Sat, Jul 18 at 2:27 PM

Each cruise line requires guests to complete an online check-in before sailing.

On Royal Caribbean and Celebrity, you can do this through the Cruise Ship App or via your online account. You will need your cruise ship booking number, which will usually be sent to you by email 3-4 months prior to embarkation.

During check-in, you'll typically:

Verify your personal information
Upload identification documents
Add a payment method
Select an arrival time
Review required travel information
Print or download your boarding documents

We'll remind you when check-in opens and are happy to assist if you need help completing the process.

Pro tip: Check in as early as possible to get the best and earliest check in times.

Some premium cabins, such as suites allow for early check in.
