Do you have to check in online?

[Legion103]

Hi, is checking in online required? Or can I just go to the Pier and NCL will do it?

[Legion103]

Or just show up? Any documents I need to print?

Print your edocs which include your ticket and luggage tags (unless you are in a suite in which case you should have received luggage tags in the mail).

I'm told things will go much faster if you check in online and then print and bring your e-docs (when they are ready).

Like the other poster said, just print off your ticket and of course, your luggage tags ( you can get the porters to put some on if you don't have them. Just make sure the cabin number is readable) Also, make sure you don't forget you documentation like passports, birth certificates etc. Some folks do.

Makes things faster if you do it online and if you can't show your boarding documents to security at the terminal entrance there will be a delay while they find someone with the manifest to ensure that you are on it.

No you do NOT have to check in on line, but as said above, it will just be quicker for you at the desk AND less of a chance of losing something that you otherwise would have to hand to the clerk checking you in.

I will second or third those thoughts. As the line to enter the terminal building for check in moves, it does so quickly. But you do have to show your cruise documents and passport (or whatever you're using instead of passport) to the security guard to enter the building. Without the cruise document, and I've never seen it happen, but I imagine you would be held out of line and it would be very time consuming while you are processed by security otherwise.

Refer to your other post.

Yes, definitely. Print your cruise documents (Guest ticket) and your luggage tags.

 

DO NOT forget your Passport, especially if you are flying to the Port, OR birth certificate, driver's license. We also take our medical cards (in case of emergency, heaven forbid)...Don't forget money!!!

 

Have a good cruise!

It is not required but highly suggested and recommended to sign in on line. Otherwise, it delays the lines at check in. It only takes 2 minutes from the comfort of your home and you can print your docs/luggage tags at the same time. Unless you're in a suite, nothing comes by regular mail anymore.

 

Have a good cruise:)

This is explained in your other post, as well. You need to show security your printed ticket in order to enter the terminal, so you should check in online and print these documents ahead of time.

Where do you print the edocs?

 

I'm logged in to my ncl and don't see anything. I just see online check in

Go to online checkin

 

Once that section is 100% completed, it will give you the option to print

[garycarla]

Do not skip this part.

 

Just do not do it.

 

Trust the folks here.

 

Check in online.

[Legion103]

What if I don't complete the online check in?

You asked that question in another post and there are multiple answers.

Guess you're not sailing on the cruise ship then....:confused:

Check in at the port goes faster if you are already in their computer.

 

Also, print out the Guest Ticket since at some ports you have to show it to a security guard to even get into the building.

[rvsullivan]

And please note that on the NCL website it states, "arrive two hours before departure if you don't have your cruise document", "one hour if you do".

Curious as to why you would not want to print out your documents?

OP has two active threads running on this same topic. Both have multiple answers to his/her question.

If you dont complete it, you can go to theport and they will do everything for you. Bring your paid in full reciept and a copy of your reservation.

 

You should call NCL and talk with them, they told me I did not have to check in.

You will have to make sure you get there early, I would get there by 10AM. As long as you have your id and proof of the cruise, you should be fine, but call NCL either way so you can hear it directly from them.

I don't understand why someone wouldn't want to check in.. what is the problem? it takes about 5 minutes... do it and be done.. print your docs and luggage tags...

 

why is this even an issue???

I could not agree more. Why cause fuss for yourself when it isn't needed?
