Checking in separately?

[Buddy604]

It's never come up before, but circumstances have played out such that my cruise buddy and I will be arriving independently at the port. Rather than ask her to wait, I've urged her to board when she arrives and I'll check in when I arrive. Then I realized I've also checked in either as a solo traveller or with both berths at the same time.

 

I'm assuming this should be ok, but would appreciate a heads up if we are likely to encounter any problems.

 

Thanks!

You should have no problem.

My wife and I checked in separately at the pier without a problem. :)

What do you need to have if boarding separately? Only the boarding pass an id?

 

Thanks!

Honestly, I doubt the agent checking you in will even comment on it. They're checking in people, not cabins, so shown one boarding pass, they will retrieve one card.

Great everyone, thanks!

The only possible issue would be credit card information, but that is usually all hammered out before you board.

i thought I read that... does each person have to have their own credit card on file to board?

A credit card must be on file in order to print out the boarding pass.

 

Each person may have entered in the personalizer his/her own credit card or if using the same card, one will have set up in the personalizer as the card owner and the other set up as an authorized user.

 

Either way, if the card entered in the personalizer is the one you will use for onboard charges, there is usually no need to show it at check-in.

Each person can have their own credit card or both could use the same one.

My cousin and I boarded together in Port Everglades while our husbands returned the rental car. There was no problem at all, and we were in two different embarkation lines.
