What time does online check in begin?

[Tigger2]

We are sailing on the Fantasy in September and can do our online check in this week. What time does online check in begin? We are hoping to get an early boarding slot. Since we are Platinum, we never had to worry about it before, but times have changed.

Thank you!

You can do your online check-in when your counter hits 29 days, 23 hours, and 59 minutes, which would be midnight EST 30 days before sailing.

Think of it though as 11:59pm ET. Otherwise, you might get the wrong day. Don’t ask

Thanks!

Hey, we're on the same sailing! We're also trying to make sure we do it as early as possible. 3 days, 11 hours, 15 minutes.

I can’t wait! It had been way too long since we have gone on a cruise. We are celebrating our 20th anniversary

I checked in last week (Fantasy) and have gotten pretty good at it (5th cruise since the restart). I logged on ar 12:01 and was done by 12:05. I was a little shocked that I got 11:15-11:30. Boarding group 5. No one in our group got anything earlier. All the early times went to those who were using dcl buses. Just wanted to prepare you.

Thanks for sharing your recent experience. Has something changed about how they assign the boarding / PAT's?

They seem to be assigning people taking dcl transportation the lower times and lower boarding numbers, but they don’t need them since they’re using dcl transportation. My April cruise I had IT issues and didn’t get my time until 12:30am but got a 10:45am time and boarding 4. So was shocked this time.
