Passports and renewal timeline

[frosts]

I am in the process of renewing our passports.  It is also a few days away from our check-in date.  Of course I want to check in now to get as early a boarding time as possible.

When we get our new passports in a few weeks they will have different numbers.  Finally a question. Will I be as to go in and edit our passport data?  As an FYI our passports expire the day after the cruise ends.

You can go in and select a check in time and do the rest later. Check in does not all need to be done at one time.

When we renewed our passports the new ones had different numbers from the older ones. We got ours back in less than 2 weeks, but that was over a year ago. No idea what turn around time is now.

You can choose birth certificate now and change later.

That is exactly what I do. I show up at port with passport and all is well.

Check in and leave the passport portion blank.

As others have said, go ahead and do what you need to then add passport info later on!

Thanks a bunch of everyone. I'll just go in and sign for the check in time and add the data later.😊

FYI - Just renewed passports sent July 1st (yes holiday week in there) they arrived the 3rd - not received yet so looks like current turnaround is closer to their stated 6 to 8 weeks (using rest of USA processing location)
