udamom Posted July 9, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Just wondering when check in became available for those of you that have started cruising. This cruise is sailing as I am aware. thought on my previous cruise's it was 90 days out. I know all things cruise are changed -so just wondering when the check in popped up for those of you who have sailed or are sailing sooner then me Thanks!

deliver42 Posted July 9, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 9, 2021 On the RCCL Blog on You Tube, check in can be as short as two weeks before cruise. There doesn't seem like any particular timeline per ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HicksRA Posted July 10, 2021 #3 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I believe they’re waiting as long as possible based on rapidly changing protocols. I’m 58 days out on my Indy sailing and can’t check in yet either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mavo68 Posted July 10, 2021 #4 Share Posted July 10, 2021 We are 36 days out. No check in yet. I saw the updated email about the protocols this evening and got excited. I thought it was our check in email. 😂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglovestocruise Posted July 10, 2021 #5 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Before the Pandemic our Symphony cruise opened planner reservations at 47 days before sailing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The sea calls my name Posted July 10, 2021 #6 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I got an email today regarding my August 22 Allure of the Seas sailing and it said that online check-in via the RCCL app will be availbale 30 days prior to sailing. It also said that entertrainment can be booked using the app once on board hte ship. Prior to Covid, that was avaible 90 days out, after final payment. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smplybcause Posted July 10, 2021 #7 Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) From the posts I'm seeing - checkin doesn't open until Royal has released the protocols for your specific ship. After they've been released some could check in right away, others not so much. Edited July 10, 2021 by smplybcause 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilBlackDress Posted July 10, 2021 #9 Share Posted July 10, 2021 We are 43 days out on Symphony... I'm waiting for their test sail Aug 3rd (I think) Although, I am in the cruise planner a lot so if I see the Check-in Available, I will be a happy cruiser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barb in ga Posted July 10, 2021 #10 Share Posted July 10, 2021 We're also on the 9/4 sailing. I've been watching the cruise planner daily, but still no check-in available. I'm SO ready for a cruise! Barb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychokitty Posted July 10, 2021 #11 Share Posted July 10, 2021 We checked in on the app, for our September 6th cruise on Serenade of the Seas about 2 weeks ago. We received no email prior to our check in, but did get one after confirming what we had done and that there’d be health questions to answer via the app the day before boarding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udamom Posted July 10, 2021 Author #12 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Thanks for the info all. Doesn't sound very consistent Looks like the answer is just keep waiting! LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
long4acruise Posted July 10, 2021 #13 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Check-in was just about 30 days for each of our B2B sailings. We had plenty of pre-cruise guidance and a checklist as a reminder of things to do. I think with the ever-changing guidance, rules, protocols, that time-frame may be the standard until ... we return to some sense of "new normal" for cruising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namelocg Posted July 10, 2021 #14 Share Posted July 10, 2021 29 days out for 8/8 Odyssey, no check in available. I did get edocs with luggage tags yesterday. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyaJune Posted July 10, 2021 #15 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I was wondering the same thing. I guess I'll have to wait until after the test sailing for our Oasis cruise in September. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighlandBoy Posted July 10, 2021 #16 Share Posted July 10, 2021 We were 30 days out when check in opened. Roll on next week 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogbay Posted July 11, 2021 #18 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Check in 🤣🤣🤣... What year will we be cruising? 22, 23 ,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc1025 Posted July 11, 2021 #19 Share Posted July 11, 2021 We are also on an 8/15 cruise so 35 days out and no documents. I am sure they are waiting as close as possible so that the fewest number of possible changes can occur between the time we file the docs and check in and the actual cruise. I feel for the cruise companies for this moving target has to be a challenge that not any other industry has faced before. We really don't think we will see anything until about two weeks out.

LOL When the wait for our next cruise drops below ~100 days I start a daily ritual of checking the app each morning to see the # drop by 1. I don't do this specifically to check-in as soon as possible but rather to start each day off with a little boost thinking about my upcoming cruise. In this case it'll have the practical side-benefit of catching check-in quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKJonesy Posted July 12, 2021 #24 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I have been reading posts across several boards regarding check in. Although some of the check in documents are ready early, some cruisers are reporting that even less than two weeks out all of the documents are not yet available. Procedures are going to smooth out as more and more sailings are underway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
