Check in midnight or in the morning

[Marlena]

For anyone who has checked in recently, does it open at midnight or let's say at 6 in the morning?

Specifically was it the same date that was originally on the app for check in.

Trying to decide if I stay up till midnight to check in or get up early to do it.

My check in date was correct. I checked in roughly 7am and got the 1:00/1:30 (earliest available) check in.

Had you heard if it was open earlier that day? Or do you think it was open as of midnight?

When I checked in for Oasis last week, all sailings for the first 2 months were available on the same day.  I had checked the cruises planner at 8:30AM and it was not open, but was available at around noon.  It may be different on ships opening up “on schedule”

I had the same question as you.  I get to check in this next week, and am so excited I can hardly stand it!!

Same here except 3:00/3:30 was only available time for me

My checkin opened today and I did it at about 7:30am. I was able to grab the 1:00-1:30pm checkin slot.

It seems like things like this should be automated by the RCCL system to become available at a preset time.  However, like many other things in the RCCL IT world, it may have to be manually done and therefore could be more random than it should.

What is the earliest someone has ever got? I got the 1 -1:30 slot. I'm happy with that, but was just wondering.

12 noon on the Oasis from Bayonne NJ. I got it as soon as check in opened.

When I checked in to my Anthem sailing on Nov 7 last week…the only time available was 3pm, so I took it. I kept checking every day and today the time choices opened up. I got 1pm. Keep checking!

Wondering if C&A status has anything to do with the check-in times, I received 1:00 to 1:30, but I’m just an Emerald. 

[Ampurp85]

So I was anxious to check in decided to get a good nights rest and wake up at 6:30am like I normally do for work. But at like 12:40ish am my cat woke me up hungry and I was able to check in my Oct 31st allure at that time. Got 1pm, which was the earliest time.....thanks Senator Meowkins.

I also got 12:00 for Oct Oasis, just happened to be doing my daily cruise planner check and saw it was available, I'm only Gold so I doubt C&A matters, although I do have a JS. 

[barjpoe]

Thanks, just check my Nov. 14 cruise; was able to check in. Got the 1PM slot. I'm a bit surprised that I could check in - we're in a JS, but cruise won't be paid for until my TA gets to work this morning and calls it in.

What is your sail date?

November 14th Harmony cruise only time available was 3-3:30p and check in just opened this morning.  I will keep checking toward closer to sailing for an earlier time.  Check in for the Oasis class seems to start at 1p now or that was the earliest option for my Symphony sailing September 25.

[BrianB]

I checked in to my Nov 14 cruise on the Anthem this morning (90 days)…I got a 1pm arrival time. I checked in using the RC website.

The app on my phone still indicates check in unavailable (We’re working on the fun)…even after logging out and refreshing.

When I checked in to my Anthem Nov 7 cruise last week…the only time available was 3pm (and I checked in pretty close to the time it opened)…I kept checking for days and then yesterday the time choices opened up and I got 1pm. I think the initial 3pm slot is just a default time. Keep checking!

Thanks I will keep checking for sure but whats a few hours to wait to board since there has been no cruising for so long.  Just roll with the punches and enjoy life along the way.

 

Enjoy your Anthem cruise.

I got 12.30-1.00 on Jewel Oct 2. A little earlier than my Jul 17, 1.30-2.00, which was supposed to be the first slot but many had arrived earlier and were being processed. It was the second week of the cruise starting up so testing etc new to everyone. Hopefully Oct 2 will be more organized.

[barjpoe]

I find right now its easier for me to do the check in on the webiste, I'm not up to snuff on doing it on my phone ; key board is too small; its a lot easier to use my computer key pad.

[Ampurp85]

I read on FB that RCG is using the 3pm slots as a placeholder. Since everything is in flux, I guess they want people to check-in but they don't have all the protocols down. This makes sense as it give them a rough idea of who really intends to sail.

[AlohaLivin]

For Symphony in Nov there were apparently were some 3pm slots then no time slots. I called them today finally and the rep booted it to IT. We will see. On our cruise the next week on Allure, there were two times offered on day 1 - 1:00 and 1:30. I don’t so much care about the time, but I do care about where to hang out with that many pieces of luggage after require check out from the hotel

What if you have a suite, is there a set arrival time?

Nope, you still are subject to the check-in time that you get when you check-in through the app or online.  However in the Concierge/Genie emails they are saying that Suites and Pinnacles have a 1-hour before and after their check-in time window to arrive.

Our 90 day check in was today.   I woke up at 1:00 AM and was able to check in.  I'm not sure if it opened up right at midnight or not.  I'm happy with our 1:00 PM check in time.  Good luck!

I know someone said, but I can't  find it - does this include Junior Suites (since there's no Concierge, I assume no).
