Welcome aboard, Sara! Isn't it exciting when the big day arrives to begin your online check-in with Disney Cruise Line? That means that your cruise is getting closer and closer! I'm sure you have a growing list of all of the fun activities you're hoping to do while you are onboard and in the beautiful ports of call!
I'm sorry your passports haven't arrived yet, but don't worry about it as far as the beginning of online check-in. You do not need to fully complete online check-in that first day. The reason you will want to log on as soon as your window for check-in begins is that you'll want to get the earliest access you can to booking all the fun extras like
special character events,
Port Adventures, and
Adult Exclusive Dining, among other fun things that do tend to book up quickly! Without your passports entered, you can still book the activities you'd like. Then, just go ahead and fill in as much of the check-in information as you can, leaving the passport number spots blank for now. Just be sure that once your passports do arrive, you go back to your check-in to complete it and print your cruise documents at the end. You won't need those until you check in at the port terminal, so there isn't a rush to completely finalize your online check-in just yet. As long as you get all the activities booked that you have your heart set on, that's the only real urgency right now!
I hope that information helps as you count down these last days until you set sail!
Have a magical cruise, Sara!
