not easy being green Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Hi, I was wondering what time is check-in available/start? I have a date for my check-in however I am not on Eastern Time zone. Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLJ2020 Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 For me it opened at midnight. I am on the east coast, so can't speak to other time zones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrznTxn Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Check-in usually starts now 30 days prior to the sail date. When exactly it opens up is something for long debates. Sometimes it opens early the evening before and sometimes it starts mid-morning on the 30th day. It is usually when the IT intern decides to push the on button to allow us to enter our long anticipated information.

Jess4214 Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 My online check opened exactly 90 days. I'm on the West Coast so at 9pm my check in time opened up, which would be 12am East coast. CruisingOz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy67 Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Our online checking was shown on the Cruise Planner for the 21st and I was able to check-in at 9pm (PST) on the 20th and selected an early Arrival Time. They required the following items for each of the passengers to upload via the app: Passport information Face photos Pictures of your vaccine card (we provided both sides) Credit card info These might only be required if you're new to RC (as we are) and you can opt to provide it at a later time after selecting an arrival time.

WannaCruise Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 And since check in now opens prior to final payment...you can still do check in if you haven't paid in full yet, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infosec123 Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Question on this topic, we are doing our first RCL Cruise in January, and are going in a Grand Suite which IIRC gives us priority boarding. Should we still worry about checking in as early as possible concerning which boarding group we get or because of the perks we are all set? Any other reasons to check in early?

Thank you for sharing this though, I was curious about this. Jess4214 and IRMO12HD 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pre-COVID priority boarding for suite guests has been modified. Now you will be allowed to check in an hour before and an hour after your selected arrival time.

If it makes you feel any better -- we in the West have to wake up at 4:30 a.m. to make a 5:00 a.m Zoom meeting when it's held at 8:00 a.m. on the East Coast . . .

casarx Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Have most RCL cruisers found this is true? Your Check-ins have opened at: 12am EST, 11pm CST, 10pm MT, and 9pm PT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jupiter03 Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Just checked in for my March cruise and curious for those that know, what are the "health & safety" questions that need to be answered the day before the cruise? What is the wellness check at the terminal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Checked in last night at 12:05am EST for my March 13 cruise. Skipped everything else & just grabbed arrival times for everyone.

If you have the Royal app on your phone you will be able to see the date for your check in. Just click on "person icon" and your stateroom info show up and underneath that will be the date for your check in.

Our APP has said for months that Check-in would be available 48 days prior to embarkations day. We'll we got to 48 days and the App changed to say that Check-in was closed but if you didn't check-in within 90 minutes of sail time you won't be able to board, or words to that effect. Now, it's being said that Check-in will be at 45 days, not in the App but in my wife's Facebook Roll-Call thread. So, as usual, information is conflicted. Just now looked in the App and it say, "FUN ON THE HORIZON We're still gathering all the cruise fun, check in is not open yet. Check back closer to your sail date for updates". Who knows!!!!!!

rbdavis3591 Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 At least a little progress. I can enter our Travel Information and uploaded our vaccination documents but unable to get a boarding time. The message displayed is: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlette Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 I can’t do anything. My app says June 7 which is right now but it won’t let me in. Although we are 46 days out… but it says June 7 in the app and it’s 12:30am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is not working either then try again tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most cruise terminals have a suite waiting area and an area for other cruisers. If you are there early when they call for suite boarding you will be able to board with the suite cruisers. To be in the terminal when they call for suite guest you will need to set your check in time as early as possible. As a suite guest you do not get priority time for check in. You will have to fight for that time like everyone else. Check in and boarding are two separate things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
