If you would like to advance your check-in and not waste much time in the queue at the port of embarkation you should know that all large companies already offer their online check-in servicesYes, the reservation has to be paid in full and many shipping companies have it in English.
En general, For security reasons, when you start to check-in the page is usually interrupted after 30 minutes, even if there is activity, so it is good that you have all the papers at hand, the passenger data, the credit card and any documentation that you consider important, such as travel insurance for example.
These are the documents that they will ask you to do your check-in online:
- Enter the full names of all passengers, their dates of birth and nationality.
- Indicate an address and contact telephone numbers
- All passengers must have a passport (in some cases there are exceptions)
- Specify if you have a pre / post cruise pack booked with the shipping company
- Also specify your flight times
- The method of payment on board
At the end of the check-in process, don't forget to print the voucher. Among these documents that you must print are also the luggage tags, which you must fold as indicated.
The reservation number requested by the companies is the one that appears in your reservation as Provider Locator.
As for the time in advance with which you can check-in, it is about 15 days, but look at the conditions on your company's website, for example Pullmantur, it does so from 30 to 4 days before the ship leaves.
And from 11 a.m. you can usually do it at the port, from that time you can also access the boat, and at most you have until 16 p.m. to get on board. These data are more or less general, but in your reservation they will indicate all these deadlines.
