Upcoming Cruise - Already Checked In- Can I Change My Identification Documentation?

[mdd423]

I have an upcoming cruise in which I have already checked in and been assigned a boarding time. During Check-In, I used my Birth Certificate as I did not have my passport(renewal) yet. I received my new passport and wanted to check with this group if I am allowed to change my Identification documentation from my Birth Certificate to my new passport. Also, will updating my boarding pass change my check-in time? Any and all help is appreciated!

You don't have to change it now.  You can just bring it to the port and they will adjust it there.  And, no, making changes on your boarding pass will not change your check in time.

Yes you can update it, and no it won't change your time.  Frankly, you don't really need to update it - no one is going to deny you boarding because you presented a valid passport over a birth certificate/driver's license.  We're actually in the same boat, a member of my group sailing at the end of the month is still waiting on her renewal.  Fingers crossed!

I had recent experience with this situation.  I had checked in with my BC b/c my passport had not yet returned from renewal...but in the meantime, the passport arrived.  I went back and changed the check-in (no negative effects) but when I got to the port, they still had my BC as a check-in doc.  No worries.....they processed me with my passport with no issues.  I don't think it matters whether you change it or leave it the way it is.  Best of luck
