Actually there really isn't a great rush and if you check in the first couple day you can get the earliest check in time. I am normally up at 4am, so used to being up early because of my mum in London and even now after she's gone - I've just never slept in. I managed to get the first slot and filled out everything but the picture - I'll do that tomorrow when my hubby can take a decent picture (I hope). Just hope the vaccine part is ok due to the fact I was one of the lucky Canadians ending up with mixed doses of vaccines 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted June 24, 2022 #27 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Don’t lose sleep. We got noon appointment. Got to dock early. We were sitting on bench waiting. We were asked by officials if we would like to checkin. Nobody looked at appointment times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you don't get around to it they just shoot your picture at the pier. Sometimes even with a picture uploaded the re-shoot anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not like the photos we take and re-do them at the pier. We try anyway. The one we posted for our last two cruises looks like Mr. & Mrs. Sad Sack.

Kate-in-Canada Posted June 25, 2022 #32 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Newbie question - do you see these photos ever again? Are they used for anything other than the check in day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when a server swipes your card your picture also pops up on the cash register. From talking to the Retreat Hosts they say that is how they identify their guest so they can address them by name before they get to know them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even get a log on screen it remembered my credentials. I guess time to uninstall and reinstall. I discovered my problem, I needed to be connected to WiFi, it didn’t work for me using my data plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When changing it you can either upload or take one with the camera on your phone or computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC Fred Posted June 26, 2022 #41 Share Posted June 26, 2022 The question was asked in this thread but I don't see an answer. If reservations are linked together, is it possible for one person to secure boarding times for all the reservations? I understand the PP, Vac and CC information will have to be added individually, but was wondering about the boarding time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted June 27, 2022 #42 Share Posted June 27, 2022 You need to register an emergency phone number (of someone who is not traveling with you). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Anorak Posted June 27, 2022 #43 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I checked in last Tuesday for our cruise at the end of July, I added photos of covid vaccinations and booster at the same time. It still says they are validating our records, when we checked in for our cruise in April it only took approx 24 hours to validate. Do I wait or do I need to add them again. Thanks in advanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkite Posted June 27, 2022 #44 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Jim, thanks for the check in information and tips! We will be checking in later this week for our August Alaska cruise. Agree that when check in becomes active, it makes the cruise real! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advanced I just checked mine. I did my checkin for Aug 8 cruise about a week ago and it is still showing pending. Not particularly worried as you can still pop us your Express Pass. Worst case they will take a picture of it again when you show it at checkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kstetser Posted June 27, 2022 #46 Share Posted June 27, 2022 If you are sailing in a suite, do you still need to select a boarding time? (This is my first Celebrity cruise) Is there a separate suite guest check in at the pier? (We are sailing out of Vancouver on Eclipse.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfguyxxx Posted June 28, 2022 #47 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Good morning. It's been years since I've done Celebrity and have only done RC when sailings started up again. Is it 45 days now when you can start your check-in process? I just booked the Equinox for a September cruise. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officially no - but you are going to need an express pass or something to show that you are in a suite to get into the terminal. On the App prior to checkin it only shows your room number and doesn't say Suite. It might be more time efficient to just go into the app's CheckIn and select any time and not have to deal with non-Celebrity staff who have no idea what rooms are suites. You can boar anytime regardless of time on CheckIn Edited June 29, 2022 by Jim_Iain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
