wolf7 Posted May 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I've just read a review for Britannia and the reviewer said they checked in on line, is this available and if so how and where do we do this? Thankswolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted May 28, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Not to my knowledge and I am just back from Aurora,, but I expect it will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eglesbrech Posted May 28, 2019 #3 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Agree with Jean, we were on Britannia last month and this was not available then. I would also be interested to hear about it if anyone knows anything that’s in the pipeline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentchris Posted May 28, 2019 #4 Share Posted May 28, 2019 There's a trial going on, if you're included you'll know about it. E.g. https://boards.cruisecritic.co.uk/topic/2652128-trial-of-online-check-in-for-po/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyMichelle Posted May 28, 2019 #5 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I vaguely remember a thread about a trial a few months back but cannot find it now. Someone with a better memory than me will point us in the right direction I'm sure. It will certainly make life easier. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eglesbrech Posted May 29, 2019 #8 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I wonder if once they have this in place they will do as RCI does and have roving check in people with iPads. Check in is certainly much, much quicker with them. RCI & Celebrity you do the full process on line including adding in card details and uploading a photograph for security (which they just check is a good likeness on arrival). I also wonder when the roll out will be, not holding my breathe given the track record of PandO IT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will definitely happen, a friend works on check in for a number of cruise lines but not P&O and has been involved with the trial. All the reports I have seen have been positive. The catalyst for the change is the introduction of Iona and her subsequent sister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that helps speed up embarkation is to be welcomed. Makes perfect sense with the numbers boarding on Iona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCFC Posted May 29, 2019 #11 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Princess have just started this under the Ocean Medallion scheme. Carnival are going to roll it out across all their brands eventually apparently. I was very impressed, you scan your own passport and photo, if you live in the USA they post out the equivalent of your sea pass card which is a medallion. Check in checks are next to nothing.

terrierjohn Posted May 29, 2019 #12 Share Posted May 29, 2019 RCI say that your keycards will be found in the cabin, so I assume there is no need for the check in desks, I wonder if P&O will do something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will go the Carnival way with the medallions. I have travelled RCI and yes your keycard is outside the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
