Boston - Check-in - Minor

[CGinMTL]

Hi Have a silly question

 

We are taking a family cruise on The Zaandam on My 27th

 

Cabin 1 ( 3 pax)

Myself

DH

2 yr old grandson

.

Cabin 2 ( 3 Pax)

Daughter - SIL and 2nd Grandchild

.

Will my daughter have problems checking in her son as he is in a separate cabin if  we have not arrived yet.

.

We are taking the overnight grey hound . 

The original plan was to have my daughter go ahead to the ship with all the luggage.

.

DH and I would like to be able to enjoy Boston and make our way to the ship later.

But if that will cause her issues, I will stay with her

 

( always overthinking things)

.

Thanks for any info you can provide

This isn't overthinking. It's planning. 

 

Are both rooms on one booking, or are they two separate confirmation numbers? That could be a factor in this. I don't know what the rules are for situations like this, but I would check in everyone together, just to keep things simple. Because the people who handle check-in are not HAL employees (they work for the port), calling HAL to ask may not give you a reliable answer. 

 

Unless someone here can say for sure that they've done this, I think you should all check in at the same time. Frankly, if I had been on an overnight bus, I would want to get onboard and relax, maybe take a nap, not go sightseeing.

I would check with your TA or call HAL customer service and not rely on information or speculation from CC members.

It is 2 booking numbers but the bookings are linked.

Maybe yes, because a,though there are two booking numbers, he is their child.  EM

You would think they should be able to board with their own children 

But will not take any chances and we will board together 

I will ask the question at the pier and see what the official answer is
