You need an ArriveCAN QR code to sail to Alaska. They are suppose to get the QR code at check-in and deny boarding if you don't have one. Some ships are not collecting codes until you are onboard. 

 

You can do a lot of the set up in advance. Then fill in your cruise information 72 hours before embarkation.

Yes, you do need it.  As @BirdTravelsmentioned, you complete the ArriveCan registration up to 72 hours before boarding your ship in Seattle.  It is much easier to do it while you are at home, rather than once you start traveling.

For those without smartphones, what is the option re QR code?

[RoePost]

Do you need to create an account for each person in the cabin or do you just do one account that covers your entire party. 

[smokeybandit]

You need an ArriveCAN submission. But you do not need the app to do it. You can do it through their website, too.

Completed ArriveCan when flying into Vancouver and again when disembarking my cruise. Nobody ever asked to see it

You can use a computer along with the app to provide the information required.

If I remember correctly, an email was sent with the qr code. When our ship arrived in Canada, no one visting the port was asked for any information regarding Arrivecan. I have read many posts also stating nothing was asked for when visiting Canadian ports.

The ArriveCAN QR code is linked to your passport so the CBSA officers can see it when they check your passport. For arrivals into Canada this check occurs before you depart the ship.

Does each person (example, my wife and I) each need to download the app and submit or can I do it all in one for myself and my wife?

Then the airline you flew on (or the gate people) failed to do their due diligence.

 Alaska Airlines in Seattle wouldn't let you past the boarding gate until they ensured you had a completed ArriveCAN document.

Families can all be done at the same time in the same document.

Did some official ask to see your passport? If so, then they saw your ArriveCan submission. It links to your passport.

Ask on a board like this, and you will get numerous answers.  But go to RCCL and they will tell you exactly what you need, and than go to your airlines and they will tell you also.  Than come back here and see how many wrong answers

What some script reading RCI CSR tells you and what happens in real life could be quite different.

that's because once you enter all the info, it automatically goes to border services and they have all the info.  so no need to ask you for it.
