Embarkation out of Miami... Have things changed?

Chello :D.

 

Me and my family will be going to Miami in 2 weeks and staying pre cruise at a Marriott hotel for 3 days before our cruise and then it will be off to the Port of Miami for a 4 night cruise.

 

Ok i didnt have to put that first bit of info in, I'm just showing off :rolleyes: but anyways I'm wondering, has embarkation changed at this Port in recent years? We haven't sailed out of Miami since 2007 and I think I've read something about having to check in at a kiosk now? Is this true? And what actually goes on at this kiosk? Do you show your passport to a machine or something lol? Just seems kind of weird to me? I know the way my mother is, she is very old school and I think would want to see a live person. Can you still do this or is everything run by computers now to check in?

 

Thank ya!!!

You'll have options of both Kiosk or Live Person available at Port of Miami.

Enjoy your cruise!! :)

It is very easy to do you just scan your passport and put your number in the computer and then you put your CC thur the scanner and you get in another line and get your sign and sail card very easy...

Agree . . . and even faster at the regular entry than for some going into the VIP lounge. :)

Big Howdy to you both!! :D

Cool. Thanks alot. I will make sure to convince my mother to take this route then since you all say it's faster. The faster we can get on the ship the better.
