Linking CC

[adamtoonarmy]

Ive completed web check in and have linked my credit card.  Do I still need to activate my cruise card at one of those machines on board?

Possibly not.  Sometimes you think you are linked but you are not, and vice versa.  Last cruise I went to activate at the kiosk and it told me I was already linked.  EM

As the person above noted, technically you don't have to. But it's not a bad idea to check at some point during the cruise. I would wait until after a few days so the machines are not busy. Two cruises ago I had linked the card to myself and also my wife. I did check mine on board and all was good. I assumed my wife was also good. When she tried to disembark she got denied, apparently the card didn't link correctly. So ever since then we always check both when we sail just to be safe. Takes about two minutes if no line at machine.
