Documents when boading from ports

WHEN YOU ARE REBOARDING THE SHIP DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO SHOW THE PASSPORT ONE AT A TIME..HOW LONG DOES THAT TAKE?? WHEN I CRUISED WITH ROYAL CARIBBEAN WE WERE ABLE TO BOARD THE SHIP WITH THE CARD THEY GAVE US.

When reboarding, all you need is your Cruisecard -- just like RCI. No need for a passport.

Song of Norway & Song of America, 1986-88; Royal Princess 2/99; Sun Princess 1/00; Ocean Princess 12/00; Royal Princess 4/01; Grand Princess 12/23/01; Sea Princess 2/9/02; Explorer of the Seas 12/21/02; Coral Princess 8/9/03; Nordic Empress 12/27/03.

-- Regal Princess (4/20/04) -- Roll Call

-- Caribbean Princess (12/26/04) -- Roll Call

-- Royal Princess (4/21/05)

I had to board without the cruisecard once. They pulled me over to another computer station so the line could keep moving and in seconds had my lovely picture (look DOWN when they shoot it) on the screen and let me pass.
