This New Policy comes as a result of a new rule mandated by the US Customs and Border Protection. Beginning February 19, 2008, they are requiring all cruise lines to send an electronic transmission of their passenger and crew manifests no later than 60 minutes prior to departure.
NCL is implementing the policy a little early, starting 1/1/08, but all cruise lines will need to comply by February 19…so I wouldn’t be surprised if all of the other cruise lines come out with revised policies shortly.
Royal Caribbean and Celebrity requirements are you are requested to complete the Online Check-In no later than 3 days prior to the cruise. If you do not complete the Online Check-In 3 days prior, you will be required to complete this process at the pier at least two hours prior to the published sailing time. All guest must be checked-in and onboard the ship no later than 90 minutes prior to the published sailing time or you will not be permitted to sail.
Airlines have said to check-in two hours early, now the cruise lines are saying the same thing, all because of extra security.
Guests will not be allowed to board after check-in has been closed. Late arriving guests may join the ship at an approved port of call in the scheduled cruise itineary. Travel to that subsequent port of call will be at the guests' expense.
