latebuyer Posted May 31, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I have the app on my phone but would feel more secure printing it as well. Is it ok to take a snapshot and print out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are worried about having an internet connection when you need to show your SetSail Pass.....take a screen shot of the pass and then it's safe in your photos. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare dna1990 Posted June 5, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I save to phone "wallet" but I also print, cuz I am old and always know exactly where my "folder" is. It has never once asked me for a password, a battery charge, a finger print, etc. Grin. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc1025 Posted June 6, 2023 #10 Share Posted June 6, 2023 We always print a copy just in case of some glich in the phone or trasmissions at the port on that day. The app check in is great but I always like to have a non tec backup in these situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njkruzer Posted June 7, 2023 #13 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Have you ever stood behind a dad trying to pull up the set sail passes for everyone in his family? We quickly hand over our passports with setsail pass inside. Allowed to move forward quickly. Much faster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latebuyer Posted June 7, 2023 Author #15 Share Posted June 7, 2023 This may be a stupid question but is the sailing pass and passport all you need to board, other than filling medical questionnaire the day before? It seems too easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted June 7, 2023 #20 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I'm a printer. A person who prints paper boarding passes to board a plane or a ship. If I don't then right at the possibly worst time I'll drop my phone and it will either shatter then stop working or bounce with perfect precision and go into a storm drain. By printing on paper I ward of the evil spirits who would cause me to fumble my ever increasingly expensive device. I have my paper copy in my pocket with my passport where it's safe. I can whip it out in record time as opposed to unlocking my device, going into the gallery, clearing the pop up notification of whatever newsworthy world event just occurred (seriously Britney Spears did it again?) before finding the screenshot of my setsail pass. I'm old. Set in my ways. Oh well. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotted a dad starting the swiping process before spouse and I moved to another line to quickly board the ship with our paper boarding passes. He had about 7 folks in his group behind him as he was trying to start swiping the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had about 7 folks in his group behind him as he was trying to start swiping the process. In San Pedro last year, they had people outside the terminal quasi-enforcing check-in times. We were behind one group scrambling to find their passes to show to the agent. So we politely asked the woman if we could go past them since she clearly wasn't prepared. The lady got quite mad that we dare suggest such a thing. Edited June 7, 2023 by smokeybandit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_G Posted June 7, 2023 #23 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Got stuck behind a guy swiping his phone on our last cruise. The reception person finally told him to step aside because a line was forming. He had three other people trying to help him. We always take a print copy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've stood behind people who can't find their paperwork and are rifling through their folders much more. The set sail passes are usually in my experience if in same cabin linked so they just do bar code 1x. Has been my experience on Celebrity, Royal and Carnival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's typically the new cruiser who thinks they have to print the entire 23 page eDocs. However a new cruiser is also likely to struggle with an app so the reality new to cruise will always be the ones packing passports in suitcases or having stuff all over the place since they are unaware what to expect. IME when someone is fumbling and delaying everyone else it's often the person on the phone and more often than not someone who didn't think to screenshot anything. I'll never forget the brains at Apple who though it was a great idea to automatically lock your phone if if turned it downward like you have to do when scanning your boarding pass boarding to get on a plane. Doh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
