Registering / Checking for Your Cruise

[kristie64063]

So I'm getting excited - 1 month from today happy dance!!

I was curious, when do you all register / check in for your cruise? Way in advance? The day before?

Thanks in advance :)

LOL. Won't let me edit the title, I meant checking "in" ... :) Edited June 25, 2014 by kristie64063

Right after I make final payment.

[klfrodo]

as soon as it allows me which is usually WAY in advance

Finish check in and print your boarding pass/luggage tags ahead of time.
I'm pretty sure I read where you can't access them 24(48?) hours out.
I always print mine out right after final payment.

I usually do it immediately after booking the cruise because I'm too excited.

[nursepixie]

As soon as my plane tickets were purchased.

Begin check in process right after obtaining insurance. Update with airline info and print out after final payment. OCD......but it works!

[sjcruiser]

We complete most of the information after final payment. We usually have all the travel arrangements in place by then, so we do it all at one time.

[Lovefuninthesun]

When we make final payment.

I usually do right after final payment but we used the gift card promotion and paid off 10 months early so I think I will wait. Lol

Usually register and do camp carnival forms a few months ahead of time. As far as check-in, we leave in 5 weeks. Just made final payment and printed out everything the next day. Too excited to wait any longer!

[kristie64063]

Thanks for your responses, great info! And good to know not to do it too close to sailing date ... I wouldn't have been very happy, lol! :rolleyes:

Ditto. I like to get done so I don't have to worry about it later.

I did the online checkin as soon as I booked the trip, 8 months in advance. But I usually print everything about 2 weeks out. It doesn't apply to you but remember that you can't print your boarding passes until the trip is paid in full.

I booked my cruise today (cruise is on July 27th).....I will do the online check-in tomorrow

[Ehpride]

I did it months ago. As soon as I make final payment in August, I'll print everything for my documents folder. I have tabs for air, hotel, cruise, shore excursions and insurance :)

Usually I fill it out after final payment. I save all the documents as a PDF and store to my Dropbox. There always seems one change or another (OBC, upgrade), so I save another PDF. I hate wasting all the paper if I have to reprint. Then I print a week or so out. It also gives me an electronic copy of all my paperwork if there is ever a problem. I can get to the documents where ever I can get in the internet.

I waited this time to register and print my tags. I have changed rooms 3 times for my group of 8. Started out with 2 rooms and then changed to 4. Second time went to 3 cabins right next door to each other and finally to get a price reduction I moved to a totally different floor. I have printed the stuff now that I think we are situated.

I complete our online check-in the day I book our cruise:)
