Daydaes Posted September 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I'm just curious when you do your online check in. Is it as soon as you can or do you wait till just before your cruise date? Does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iflyrc5 Posted September 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Usually do ours a week or so after final payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberta Quilter Posted September 11, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I do ours as soon as we can. I like to get it out of the way as I get too busy closer to sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daydaes Posted September 11, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Thanks! we booked a cruise for November, last week. We will probably do the check in this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoptionmsw Posted September 11, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I held off until a few days ago (sailing 9/20) because we still do not have a room assignment. I got so many nagging emails from HAL, I went ahead and did it. I haven't printed the luggage tags yet because still waiting in room number.

cashier Posted September 11, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Same here. Right after final payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted September 11, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I don't fill out the information online or print out anything until about 2 weeks before we leave for the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't one time. I don't think we had it on our luggage tags and our luggage came to our cabin no problem. We had booked a guarantee and weren't assigned until we arrived for boarding. We did get an upgrade too. The last two times I booked the exact cabin but this time I am going with a guarantee verandah. See what happens. I like the surprise.

fuzzywuzzy Posted September 11, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Usually do ours a week or so after final payment. Yes, I do the same. I like to get it off my mind. I print off everything and put it into my binder. Then I start researching the online excursions, etc. I usually book one excursion online. And also get ideas from HAL's excursions for what might be interesting to see at the different ports of call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz chic Posted September 11, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Just after final payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summersigh Posted September 12, 2014 #11 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Me too .... :) ..... within a week or so after final payment. I like to get it over with. Silly me, but, since our fantastic TA takes care of making the deposits, takes care of the trip insurance and final payments, I suppose doing the Online Check-in makes me feel like it's really happening :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathfinderEss Posted September 12, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I go online and fill out all the paper work a week or so after I book the cruise. Then I wait for Hal to tell me I can print them out. As soon as they I get that email I go in and print them.:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda&Vern Posted September 12, 2014 #13 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I fill out the on-line check-in as soon as I book a cruise. I always feel like I want HAL to know I'm serious about the trip! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
take us away Posted September 12, 2014 #14 Share Posted September 12, 2014 We also fill out the info right after we book so there is one less thing to do / worry about before we leave. Plus it makes it all a bit more 'real'. Once HAL tells us the boarding documents are ready, we print those and the luggage tags, add them to all the other 'stuff' in the cruise notebook and off we go.

Lizzie68 Posted September 12, 2014 #15 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I do our check in shortly after booking. One time, it was good that I did, because our passports would have expired:eek: - I had time to get new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted September 12, 2014 #16 Share Posted September 12, 2014 It can vary, but normally I complete the on-line check-in right after the second notice. I hate the nagging, and this is the only way to stop it! I print everything out about a week-10 days before leaving. This is the first step in getting ready to go, and is the lead-in to packing.
