Relevant Information Travelers Need to Know

The cruise terminal opens at 10:30 AM. It is extremely important for all cruise passengers to arrive at least 1.5 hours prior to their cruise time of departure from port. Only ticketed passengers are allowed in the terminal building, so anyone seeing you off on your cruise won't be able to do it from within the terminal.

Make sure you have all important documentation and identification readily at hand when you approach the terminal. This would include cruise tickets, as well as travel and identification documentation, which should include a passport (or other authorized and approved official government photo ID).

If you've received paperwork relating to your cruise from the cruise line, all documentation you need should be clearly listed there. If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to call the cruise line and get clear and defined answers, as security is tight and inflexible, and there will be no flexibility relating to the proper documentation you have or don't have with you.

Save Some Time Checking In

Much like checking in for an airline flight, passengers often gasp when they see the check-in lines for cruises. Fortunately, these lines can be avoided if sailing passengers complete their Online Pre-Registration with the cruise line at least 5 days prior to the cruise date. This is quick and easy to do, and the few minutes it takes to pre-register is well worth the little time and effort it takes once you see you can walk right by that long check-in line in the terminal.
