First cruise coming up in August, check-in is late May. Do I need to have all of our flight and passport info at this time or can I go back and add it once I have that information? I’m just wondering what kind of time frame I’m working with.
People have been posting that they have been able to login the evening (7-8pm) their booking window opens to fill out all their travel information. So at 12:01am ET you’re all set to book excursions and such.
For those of us that drive, the benefit is an early PAT. I logged in right at 7ET for the silver window for my cruise and got 10:30-10:45, by midnight when activities opened, the earliest time was 11:45-12:00. If you are flying that doesn't matter because your flight determines your PAT, but if you drive and want a low boarding number, you have to do it immediately.You can reserve excursions, etc. without entering any travel info that's part of the check-in so I'm not sure why anyone would bother doing that early. Maybe there's something I'm missing?
Gotcha - been Platinum long enough that I totally forgot about PAT!For those of us that drive, the benefit is an early PAT. I logged in right at 7ET for the silver window for my cruise and got 10:30-10:45, by midnight when activities opened, the earliest time was 11:45-12:00.

Yes. I was able to log in and enter / verify ID information, travel info, select PAT, etc. after 7 pm ET. I was able to select excursions, activities after midnight. A tip of the hat to whoever at DCL IT made this decision. The system was a lot more stable after midnight. The last time I tried this the system was experiencing lots of errors and crashes for about two hours. I'm guessing it was overloaded until people just gave up and logged off.Is this at 7-8pm the night before the booking window opens?

That depends. If your passport information is already on file and still valid for at least 6 months after the cruise dates, you should not have to enter it again.That was not the case last summer for the Med. And in that case, you HAD to have a valid passport so there was no way around completing all that stuff first.
I think the website has been updated since then and that's why it can now be done where it couldn't for you previously.That was not the case last summer for the Med. And in that case, you HAD to have a valid passport so there was no way around completing all that stuff first.
