checking in advice with linked reservations

[catspaw1]

Hi everyone, just checked in a few days ago for our upcoming cruise & wanted to give back some helpful hints.  I tried getting in starting at midnight & it was not available until 1203am. I got the earliest boarding which was 1030am. I then tried to  checkin get another couple linked on our reservation.  However, since I didn't know their DOB or reservation number, I couldn't check them in. So have this readily available if you want to check others in.  We are also going on a separate trip tomorrow to SD, CO & WY & I checked in with Southwest today. I checked in immediately at the earliest boarding time exactly & still got B30. That means there is at least 45 people boarding before us.

I did it recently and was able to check in our friends from Australia at the same time as ours.   In reality I only chose the same check in time and then they went back in and put in their own details.     

 

In my case both reservations showed up on my reservation list.

Yes both reservations showed but it asked for all the other info on my friends which I didn't have. I only did the checkin time as I was away from home & didn't want to bring our passports with me. I was able to do when I returned several days later. BTW live your live posts & I've read all of them. Thanks for posting as they have been extended helpful.
