On Line Check In Question

[IrishLassie]

How long can you wait to do your on line ck.in ? Thanks for any info. :D

[AKman2495]

I believe they lock the personalizer 3 dye before sailing.

[paul929207]

I don't believe you have to do it. If you don't it will just slow down check in at the port.

I though you could not print your tickets and baggage tags unless you complete the online info.

[Love.II.Cruise]

To be safe, I'd do it a no later than a week before your cruise. JMHO

 

If you need visas for certain countries, maybe earlier... not sure. But for anything requiring a visa, we plan way ahead (and submit earlier online) and see a Dr. for vaccinations.

IrishLassie (OP), if you haven't already done the check-in information for your Freedom OTS 9/14/2014 ... you should do so NOW.

Why would one wait? I don't understand... :confused:

[KruzeKrazy!]

Correct - you don’t have to do it online but not doing so will simply slow things down at the pier as you won’t have your boarding doc's, luggage tags, etc.

 

As said above why wait to do it? I always do it as soon as I can (approx. 75 days out) so (a) it's done and (b) it's part of my "get ready/get excited" routine!

The Personalizer is locked (for entering/changing info, not for printing boarding passes/luggage tags) five days prior to embarkation. That said, should you need to wait until after that date for some reason -- say, you were having to do an expedited passport renewal and your State Dept. appointment was four days before embarkation day (*cough* not that I know anyone at all to whom this wholly hypothetical example applies to) -- your immigration and/or credit card information can still be entered after the Personalizer is locked down, you just have to call Princess. Once they do that entry, you can then log in to the Personalizer, even, say, the day before departure, and print out the boarding pass/bag tags.

hypothetically speaking.

Just hypothetically put in a future expiration date for your passport.

 

One could also, hypothetically, use some of the credit card test numbers

that software developers use...but, that would be wrong.

Don't know why anyone would wait either. As soon as we can everything is completed online.

[IrishLassie]

Thanks everyone for the info. I wasn't asking for us as ours are all done for both our cruises, but our friends that are sailing with us in Nov. have just moved & I just wanted to make sure she can get their ck.in done in time as they have been so busy with moving into their new house. Thanks again for all the help. :D

Ok so my cruise is October 18th On the Star Princess :D

 

I printed boarding passes & luggage tags on August 15th :o

 

As you can tell I get a little excited. Happens when you cruise only every couple of years!!

[cdngrl]

I fill mine in when I book the cruise. it makes it seem real then.

I haven't printed boarding passes yet as I'm waiting a bit longer to see if I get assigned a cabin before I leave home!
