mdsgu Posted September 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2018 So I got an email from NCL telling me I need to go ahead and check in (we are 58 days out from our trip). And that I have to give them my CC. That's fine....less I have to bother with at the port. So I go on NCL and enter all 4 passports. It asks me for my CC info that I'm going to use, so I entered that. I only authorized myself and my wife on the card; we never give the kids charging privileges because who know what that would lead to, especially if they found the arcade. Now, however, it says that their checkins are not complete. Is that right? Is it going to cause a problem when we do cruise? What if someone wanted to set up a cash account? I checked in my parents-in-law, and it says they are 100% complete and they would receive an email when their eDocs were ready to print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medtech2 Posted September 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I was never asked for my CC. From what I gather it won’t matter as you will still need to give a CC at check in. It does not have to be the same one. If you are all in one cabin you don’t even need to worry about printing separate e docs. All the info will be there on one set. Some people do not even print those but in my experience they always want to see them before letting you into the terminal. Even if you put in the CC on your kids on line check in you definitely can remove it at check in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We received email from NCL this week telling us to check in and register our CC for our next cruise (Nov 12th) - this is the first time we're being asked to enter our CC during the check in. So this is the new thing. Yes, I agree that the OP can remedy by removing the CC on their kids' account - but at Guest Services after boarding.

We just had it added to out 11/16 cruise a day or two ago. As for the kids, if it REQUIRES you to enter payment info just enter that they will eb using cash. Then at the port explain that they will not have purchasing privileges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand and Seas Posted September 22, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I just entered 'cash' for us and will add a credit card at check in. I really don't like to enter my CC info on more websites than I have to. Swiping it at the check in desk will still work for us. Besides, not sure right now which card I will want to use.

MsSoCalCruiser Posted September 22, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I was told to register my CC when I arrived at the port and that way my friend and I can each have our own separate accounts. They said that online only one CC could be registered. I know that this is not your situation but it's OK to register your card when you arrive.

You can set up individual accounts with the on line system as well. Whoever "they" are were wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted September 22, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 22, 2018 We have the Shorex "Perk" and so don't pay for Shorex till they appear on the folio. We give in a Credit Card details and then put down enough cash to well cover all we spend on the cruise. That way at the end we just get back all excess cash as cash.

TrpngBilly Posted December 29, 2018 #11 Share Posted December 29, 2018 When we check in at the pier we use one CC for our onboard account. We also have them deactivate charging privileges for our kids keycards, which has never been an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K_e_short Posted December 29, 2018 #20 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I have the exact same thing happening to me with my cruise (just my 12 year old son and I). I put in my credit card info for my payment but left his empty. Every time I go in it says I need to complete his online check in... however.. When I go to the main page it says that my online check is 100% complete so I know I have all the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
