smallworldtraveller Posted October 10, 2010 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Hi all, first time cruiser here.... I have read this board, TA board, Carnival board so I say thank you for all the great information. I do have a few questions... I have my fun pass done.. even did an edit as I had to get a new passport so it went beyond the 6 month expiry, just in case they wanted to get sticky about expiry date.. Can some one explain to me the kiosk they have in Miami... I have all my paperwork, what does the Kiosk need... I like the concept of moving quickly :) I hate really long line ups :(. So if I can use the kiosk I will ,,,, just don't want to get to kiosk and then find out I don't have the information it needs and I have to go to end of another line... If i use the kiosk is there a best time to get to the great hall so I don't have to wait for ever in line ups.. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovetheislands Posted October 10, 2010 #3 Share Posted October 10, 2010 The kiosks are touch screen and have a swipe scanner. If I remember correctly you simply input your name (or info that is on your funpass) and then scan your passport. I had a bit of a problem getting mine to scan. And then each person in your party does the same. I personally prefer the human touch of the agents. The lines are the same. Some poeple get directed to the kiosks, others to the agents.

aeneas3 Posted October 10, 2010 #4 Share Posted October 10, 2010 not sure about the kiosks but if you want to avoid longer lines just get there earlier. we were on the ship by 11am for the dream. it was sweet :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallworldtraveller Posted October 10, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted October 10, 2010 thanks all I can use the kiosk at the grocery stores :D so I am going to give it a try. It is technology i am willing to try anything a try a few times, but i would like to see some sort of reward for at least using the kiosk. faster boarding, give me less time in line.

ETHS1965 Posted October 10, 2010 #6 Share Posted October 10, 2010 The only thing you need to remember about the kiosks is that they want the passports put through a certain way. We did not realize that we were scanning the way we thought the scanner should work, not the way it was actually working! Took a minute to have some one to point this out. Passport and credit card, seems like that's all you needed. Then, went to pick up your room card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
