Your cruise countdown is almost over, and you can practically feel the ocean breeze already! There’s just one last step: check-in. Don’t worry—it’s quick, simple, and the gateway to your dream vacation.
Why Check In?
Check-in ensures that Carnival has all the info they need to keep you safe and get you on board smoothly. It’s also when you’ll select your boarding time, so you can head straight into vacation mode without long waits. You can pre-register your kids for the kids clubs, and give them charging priveleges and amounts on their room keys.
What You’ll Need
- Travel Documents: Passport, or birth certificate + government-issued photo ID.
- Booking Details: Your Carnival reservation number should already be linked to your Carnival Hub App on your phone. You'll do check in from the app.
- Payment Method: Credit card for onboard purchases (you’ll set up your Sail & Sign account).
- Pre-cruise Travel Info: Quick forms to complete online regarding your flight number and times.
When to Check-In
Carnival opens online check-in 14 days before your sailing date—but don’t wait! Early check-in means the best choice of arrival times at the port. Platinum, Diamond and Suites get to check in 1 or 2 days early. Check your app for your time and date.
Tips for Smooth Sailing
- Have your passports handy. If you have TSA PreCheck you can add your KTN #.
- Choose an arrival appointment that works with your travel plans.
- Pack documents and essentials in your carry-on for easy access.
- With check-in done, you’ll be ready to walk up the gangway, grab that first photo, and let the fun begin.
- You can check the status of your check in on the summary page. It should say "Complete" next to all items.
Here's What it Will Look Like
