Check in 21day rule

[masterty]

Trying to figure out when check in begins. 21days from what? 21 days from midnight the day of. 21 days from boarding? 21 days from sail away?

Anyone know the exact moment check in is available? TIA

At midnight, 21 days prior to sail date.

At the top of the app or website, when you are in MyAccount looking at your cruise, it says how many days to your cruise.

    If you were embarking, let's say, on the twenty-eighth, check-in would begin on the seventh at 12:01 AM Eastern Standard Time ( or daylight savings time). You being on the west coast, it would (should) open at 9:00PM on the sixth. But that doesn't always happen.

   I noticed this is your first NCL cruise. FYI, you'll need your passport numbers and expiration dates; photo (head shot, no glasses as I remember); credit card; and emergency contact for each person with phone number. Happy sailing!!

Hi Tia, It is at midnight (eastern time) 21 days prior to the sailing date.  It really is a non-issue though.  This is only your CHECK IN time, not your boarding time.
