Clarea Posted August 25, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 25, 2014 How does RCI handle that? Bill There are guest computers available with a printer. You will have to pay for some internet access, unless you are on Oasis or Allure which have kiosks you can use to print the boarding passes for free. Another way to print boarding passes is to ask the Concierge if you are Diamond Plus, Pinnacle, or in a Grand Suite or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the Oasis next so that's cool then the Grandeur and we can drive to the port so we are golden. Thanks Bob Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bob Bill I'd check out the kiosks early in the cruise and make sure they work. I've read that sometimes they are out of order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Diamond Club Concierge can do it as well if you are Diamond or higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarSong2001 Posted August 25, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Another thing to check would depend on the airline you are using. You could use their app (if they have one) on your phone to do the check-in, then get the actual pass printed at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad-dog74 Posted August 25, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Also, if you choose luggage valet, they will print your boarding pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_G Posted August 25, 2014 #9 Share Posted August 25, 2014 If you book Early-Bird with Southwest, there's no need to check in so you can just print the boarding pass from a kiosk once you get to the terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauren0309 Posted August 25, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I am going to be on Allure so when I go to the computer onboard to print out my pass for free how do I know I wasn't charged for using their computer for that purpose only. Do I have to tell the front desk first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdofsong Posted August 25, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'd check out the kiosks early in the cruise and make sure they work. I've read that sometimes they are out of order. They were not working on the Allure in the beginning of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rummenroman Posted August 25, 2014 #15 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Unless you are on Southwest or have a close call flight time, there really isn't much of a need to bring your boarding passes early. The only reason I say Southwest excluded is because of their seating system. All other major airlines have assigned seating, and the close call flight time can save a few minutes. Otherwise I say just get your boarding passes when you get to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulxyz2004 Posted August 25, 2014 #17 Share Posted August 25, 2014 As I usually have checked luggage anyway, I do the online check-in but don´t bother printing the Boarding pass. Very easy to get it at bag drop at the Airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks everybody for all the replies and suggestions:) Bill If that is the case I would pay the fee to do their early check in program. If you do self disembarkation you will be at the airport well before 8, with many here saying they were at their gate by 730, so time won't be an issue. So I say don't worry about the boarding passes, pay the $12 fee and enjoy a group A seating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo24 Posted August 25, 2014 #20 Share Posted August 25, 2014 When I was on Allure last August, I was able to use the computers (wasn't in a suite or diamond) in the computer room. They allowed complimentary access to airline websites in order to check in online and print boarding passes. Perhaps this isn't the case anymore? It was a great facility so it would be a shame if they did stop allowing people to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, to the OP, the faster you do Early Bird, the better your spot in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, to the OP, the faster you do Early Bird, the better your spot in line. I second this. The small charge for Early Bird is worth it to me to not have to worry about checking in early. That's what we're doing for our next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what we're doing for our next cruise. I would add the qualifier that this is only the case if you are hung up about seating. If you have two or more people that must sit together, or it's a long cross country flight, then I would say it's worth it. For the OP, flying from Ft. Lauderdale to Philly, it's a pretty short flight. If he or she doesn't care, then I wouldn't bother with it at all. Just check in at the airport.

luvjftffc Posted August 25, 2014 #24 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Is family boarding for Southwest after Group A. We are a family of 3 (daughter is 3) and I was wondering if I should pay for early bird or if the 3 of us can board using family boarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
