Internet question

[Giantfan13]

We are doing a TA on the Jewel of the Sea this Nov.-- Rome to Puerto Rico. We are flying home the same day we disembark on Southwest. Southwest requires you to check in 24 hours before to gain your seat assignment, but we will still be at sea at that time. We always try to board with the A group so we always try to check in as soon as it becomes available.

Does RCI allow anyone to 'check-in' while at sea without buying the internet package?

If not, can we buy a one day (or even less) package, and then use that to check in as required?

Anyone done this before?

Cheers

[Hey Tina]

Not really what you asked but you can buy Early Bird check in from Southwest which automatically checks you in 36 hours before the flight.

For $20, you can buy a 24-hour unlimited internet package. Some ships also offer a shorter, lower-cost package on the last day for airline check-in, but this is not universal.

 

One way to do it for free is to ask one of your friends at home to check you in. Then print your boarding pass at the airport.

You might not going to Puerto Rico this November. PR was almost totally destroyed by hurricane Irma and Maria.

I would suggest purchasing the Early Bird Check In. Consider it a fee paid to enjoy your cruise and not have to worry about checking in.

Yep, EB is the way to go. You get better numbers than even trying to do it yourself. Just buy EB ASAP as the boarding number is based on when you buy EB.

Definitely pay for early bird check in. I always do this especially for a cruise. That was 36 hrs prior to flight you get checked in and assigned your spot.

Thanks for all the suggestions. It does seem like EB check-in is the way to go.

That's what we always do, on both ends of the trip.
