How to Check-In For Your Cruise - Check-In & Embarkation Process From Booking to Boarding

Показать описание

The check-in & embarkation process can be a daunting prospect but pretty much all cruise lines have the same check-in process, just different Apps and it's almost always the same process when you get to the terminal on cruise day.

In this video we go through the check-in and embarkation process step by step telling you what you need to do from the time you book to the time you board, including what paperwork you will need and how we think it's best to store it so that it is there when you need it. This information will be roughly the same whatever cruise line you have booked with.

I think you guys are so underrated, deserve more subscribers and views. I am on Carnival Splendor right now, and I found your videos super helpful. This is my second time cruising, first one is with Luminosa.

Great help guys - very helpful video! Hopefully bump into you on a cruise from Brisbane one day!

Great advice on printing documents off as well as having soft copies. We got caught boarding our last cruise where we couldn't access our online documents but I'd printed everything off and had a folder with it all in there and it saved us so much time. Just found your channel and absolutely loving it!!! Keep up the great work, we are also in Brissy and have a couple of cruises booked for the next 6 months but haven't got any the same as yours, we hop onto Pacific Encounter on the cruise after your comedy cruise. Hopefully we'll see you on a cruise in the future. All the best :)

Thank you so much for this video! How soon before the cruise date do P&O allow you to book your boarding time and print out boarding passes and luggage tags? 😊

My last cruise was on Royal Caribbean. I don’t understand why they even bothered with the staggered embarkation .It worked on my P&O trip as they enforced the staggered embarkation but the RCC every just boarded when they wanted to. Even though we were allocated a certain time slot. We overheard others saying that they had a late afternoon boarding time but they weren’t checking and they embarked and checked in with everyone else. This meant we had long waits to get through check in and on the ship of more than 2.5 hours. We were supposed to embark at 1230pm - we turned up at 12pm finally got on at 3:30pm. Felt like there was no air conditioning in the terminal and with the body heat I swear it was at least 10 degrees warmer in the terminal than outside which was 35 degrees. I was wringing wet when I got on the ship. We had to do our health declaration in the terminal as they failed to send the email link so that delayed us also.Not that the ship was leaving without us. It was late leaving port as well. P & O in my opinion had the better and easier embarkation- 20 mins from arrival to getting on board and sitting down - we also were able to get in our rooms early. Disembarking the P&O was way better organised than the Royal Caribbean. We got called but had to stand in line for over 2 hours on the deck to get off. P&O called our numbers we immediately walked off of the ship no fuss or bother.

hello, just in regards to printing off luggage tags boarding passes etch, do you normally just have paper tags from printer, wouldn't they rip, or do you have something more sturdier, thansk
