checking in for november cruise

[StormySeas]

we are cruising out of Galveston on Liberty November 14. I have not been able to check in to reserve our boarding time. I though I could check in at 90 days prior. Am I mistaken? or has something changed?

we were just able to check in for our 10-17 Oasis cruise last week. Keep checking the app!

How far in advance check-in becomes available is varying widely between sailings. We were able to check in for our Allure October 10 sailing all the way back on July 16th.

Check in normally opens 60-90 days pre cruise. We were able to check in for both of our October cruises about 80 days out, but our November cruise is still beyond 90 days out - so not yet available.

One thing you can count on with the RCI IT department is they are consistently inconsistent. Just got an e-mail to check in for an Oct. 1, 2021 cruise and when I followed the link, you guessed it, it said they're not ready to check us in. Same thing on the app.

 

Maybe this is what they meant with their "Where The Adventure Begins" ad campaign.

The app should list the check in date.  Click the person icon on the top right , scroll down and the check in date is generally  listed.

I was able to check in for our November 7th Anthem cruise.

I was able to check in for our Adventure cruise out of Galveston on Nov. 12. Check in opened on 8/15 and I was able to get a 1:00 boarding time.

The November sailings on Independence only gives a 3:00 arrival time.

Same her for Symphony in November. I read on Facebook that it's a glitch. The same for my November Celebrity Summit.

Same for November Harmony-  must be a November thing😇

I'm having the same issue for our November 8 Serenade cruise.  I could start the check-in online but it wouldn't let me pick a boarding time.  When I try the app, I see my sailing but when I click on it, I get "We're working on the fun."  Too early or IT glitch?

That happened to me when I did my check in for our November 7th cruise on Anthem.  But 2 days later, check in times opened up.  Keep checking.

I was just able to check in for our November 7th cruise. Yesterday it was still closed.

What date is your Harmony cruise? I’m still not able to change check in. Thanks.

Can't check in for October 10 on Liberty yet. Liberty just came out of drydock; it shouldn't but I'm guessing that has something to do with why her check-ins are so behind all the other ships.

Sorry, I'm on Symphony 11/13.

Just checked in for Nov Oasis. Is 1:00 the earliest time now?

[*Fudge*]

My cruise is in Sept and we still can’t check in 😳

[jhannah]

Check in and selection of an arrival time are two different things. We checked in weeks ago for our October 1 sailing. That was when the passport and contact information was supplied. Closer to the sailing date is when the arrival time is handled. At least that's the message I get when I use the app.

What if you don't have an app or use facebook?

RCI Twitter told me that if we can’t check in prior to sailing and pick a time then we can just check in at the port.  

[jrapps]

I just checked in for the Symphony Nov 20th sailing. 1pm was the earliest time available for me.

Nov 07th 14th and 21st   on Explorer, no available check in as yet
