Minuet888 Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 So my online check in is Tuesday April 16th (So for me on the west coast I guess it is 9pm monday night? We are leaving out of Newark) What do I do? Never done this so I am wondering what to expect and what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 It's much like checking in for a flight, especially an international one. -Add ID info (passport data or birth certificate, etc) -Add emergency contact info -Add a photo (this is optional during check in. They'll take a photo at the port if you don't do it here) -Add a credit card -Select a port arrival time CanHardlyWait and Ryan79 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilligan Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 What time does it open up? Will it be midnight on the 16th? Or does the time vary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's midnight in the time zone from which your ship departs. So, if your ship sails from Miami, Eastern. Texas? Central, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never done this so I am wondering what to expect and what to do. Your cruise is May 31 to June 6 Symphony sailed from Cape Liberty? If yes, same as me. Check in will be tonite @ 12am midnite EST. I usually just pick the time I wanted and then go to sleep. The rest of the info. scan passport, take a selfie , enter your cc, and in case of emergency contact. I usually fill them in a later or two later. rjac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuet888 Posted April 16 Author Report Share Posted April 16 Is 11:30am the earliest time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanHardlyWait Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 24 minutes ago, Minuet888 said: Is 11:30am the earliest time? Seems to depend on ship and port anymore. Some are 10am, 1030, 11am, 1130. If that's the earliest you saw, then that's what's available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tingtang Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 When I hit the enter button checking in online, I found myself somehow transported to the deck of the ICON! Scared the heck outta me! I quickly hit the back button and was relieved to be back home in my easy chair. My sailing wasn't for another two weeks! YMMV Then again, it could have been a dream.

PhantomWolf Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 I'm going to be at a baseball game tonight when my window opens up. Can I upload pictures previously taken or do I have to take a picture of my passport and a selfie within the app itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just select your arrival time in the app and do everything else later (which obviously makes the most sense in your case). 2. You can upload pics using the website (from your phone or computer); the app only allows selfies. PhantomWolf and Ryan79 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photos can be done later, and in fact, a lot of people don't even bother and just do them at the port since a lot of times they re-take them, anyway.

What happens often is that when you get to the port for check-in you will be asked to take a new one (the agent quickly snaps a pic with their device). It's not big deal since it takes about 5 seconds but they seem to like our pictures for some reason and usually accept the ones we took.
