IrishLassie Posted September 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2014 How long can you wait to do your on line ck.in ? Thanks for any info. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKman2495 Posted September 10, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I believe they lock the personalizer 3 dye before sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted September 10, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I don't believe you have to do it. If you don't it will just slow down check in at the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pstcrik Posted September 10, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I don't believe you have to do it. If you don't it will just slow down check in at the port. I though you could not print your tickets and baggage tags unless you complete the online info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love.II.Cruise Posted September 10, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) To be safe, I'd do it a no later than a week before your cruise. JMHO If you need visas for certain countries, maybe earlier... not sure. But for anything requiring a visa, we plan way ahead (and submit earlier online) and see a Dr. for vaccinations.

OCruisers Posted September 10, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 10, 2014 IrishLassie (OP), if you haven't already done the check-in information for your Freedom OTS 9/14/2014 ... you should do so NOW. LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted September 10, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Why would one wait? I don't understand... :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruzeKrazy! Posted September 10, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Correct - you don’t have to do it online but not doing so will simply slow things down at the pier as you won’t have your boarding doc's, luggage tags, etc. As said above why wait to do it? I always do it as soon as I can (approx. 75 days out) so (a) it's done and (b) it's part of my "get ready/get excited" routine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsqrl Posted September 10, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 10, 2014 How long can you wait to do your on line ck.in ? Thanks for any info. :D The Personalizer is locked (for entering/changing info, not for printing boarding passes/luggage tags) five days prior to embarkation. That said, should you need to wait until after that date for some reason -- say, you were having to do an expedited passport renewal and your State Dept. appointment was four days before embarkation day (*cough* not that I know anyone at all to whom this wholly hypothetical example applies to) -- your immigration and/or credit card information can still be entered after the Personalizer is locked down, you just have to call Princess. Once they do that entry, you can then log in to the Personalizer, even, say, the day before departure, and print out the boarding pass/bag tags.

One could also, hypothetically, use some of the credit card test numbers that software developers use...but, that would be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandatsea Posted September 10, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Why would one wait? I don't understand... :confused: Don't know why anyone would wait either. As soon as we can everything is completed online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishLassie Posted September 10, 2014 Author #13 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Thanks everyone for the info. I wasn't asking for us as ours are all done for both our cruises, but our friends that are sailing with us in Nov. have just moved & I just wanted to make sure she can get their ck.in done in time as they have been so busy with moving into their new house. Thanks again for all the help. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8terchick Posted September 10, 2014 #14 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Ok so my cruise is October 18th On the Star Princess :D I printed boarding passes & luggage tags on August 15th :o As you can tell I get a little excited. Happens when you cruise only every couple of years!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdngrl Posted September 11, 2014 #15 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I fill mine in when I book the cruise. it makes it seem real then. I haven't printed boarding passes yet as I'm waiting a bit longer to see if I get assigned a cabin before I leave home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
