discru Posted July 5, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 5, 2021 We have a Sept 3 Alaska cruise and an Oct 4 Freedom cruise. The app does not say anything about checking in for the Alaska/Sept cruise... but the Oct 4 cruise says “Check In opens July 6”. The Oct cruise also has 6 icons/tabs at the bottom of page, and Sept cruise only has 3. Odd to be able to check in for Oct before being able to check in for Sept. Anyone on Sept 3 Alaska Ovation able to check in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegus Posted July 5, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Aug 20 Alaska check in available yet either, I think they are waiting to make sure nothing develops and to announce protocols first, which could be changing rapidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were able to check in about June 22 for our Alaska August 9th, Serenade cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discru Posted July 5, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Thanks, all. I’ll just keep waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherylc Posted July 5, 2021 #5 Share Posted July 5, 2021 August 13 Ovation also not available for check in yet --- checking often since we are coming directly from the airport after an early same day flight and will likely get there around 10 -- want to at least get the first boarding time!

sherylc Posted July 5, 2021 #7 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I think most if not all of the Serenade check-ins are available. Just nothing on the Ovation yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherylc Posted July 5, 2021 #9 Share Posted July 5, 2021 The Serenade has her first sailing first, so maybe they are opening up check in for an entire ship's worth of sailings. Might be all the Ovation check ins open at same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted July 5, 2021 #10 Share Posted July 5, 2021 According to the Royal web site they will send an e-mail when check in is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would hope.... I have not received an email so far on our Oct 4 cruise, that the app says is available for checkin starting tomorrow. Will be interesting to see when/if we get one.

They may eventually email you but we never received one for our Aug 30 sailing on Serenade. I found out because I saw that Tree_skier was able to register. I would not rely on anything IT related with Royal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted July 6, 2021 #13 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I have now checked in for a September cruise that isn't paid in full and that I requested a refund for when my original ship was redeployed and they moved me to another ship. I chose the refund option they offered. That refund request is acknowledged by customer service yet the cruise still appears as if it's a confirmed cruise. It's Royal IT. As the song goes... A little messed but we're all alright. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discru Posted July 6, 2021 Author #14 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Still have not received an email to check in for Oct 4 cruise, but I just checked in via the app. I was able to complete the travel info part of checkin (passport, credit card info, photo)... but it tells me to check back to complete info for the arrival time. Baby steps... 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard54 Posted July 7, 2021 #20 Share Posted July 7, 2021 It appears that all of the Seattle sailings of Serenade are open for check-in but none of the Ovation ones are open yet. I believe it may be a a combination of not having clearance from CDC yet and/or Royal IT just has not opened the it up yet. Ovation does not start sailing for about 4 weeks after the Serenade and I expect they will open all the Ovation sailings at the same time. Ovation just added 4 more sailings at the end of the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are contemplating using some of our FCC for one of the late season Ovation sailings to Alaska. Glad they opened up. Gives us more options to use our FCC.
