New Online Check-in Makes Sailing on Disney Cruise Line a Breeze
CELEBRATION, Fla. -- Guests anxious to begin their Disney Cruise Line vacation can now complete their pre-arrival paperwork via the internet with a new service on disneycruise.com called My Online Check-in. The complimentary service streamlines the check-in process and helps expedite boarding at the terminal -- giving guests more time to enjoy the ship and their vacation. The service launched February 21, 2006.
To access My Online Check-in, guests with Disney Cruise Line reservations simply click the My Disney Cruise tab on disneycruise.com. With a few simple key strokes at their home computer, guests can fill out and print all the travel forms needed for their cruise well before they depart for their vacation. After arriving at the Disney Cruise Line terminal, guests simply turn in their forms and are cleared for embarkation -- ready to start their Disney Cruise Line vacation.
Guests who enjoy the traditional paper documents may choose not to complete the online check-in and will receive the full ticket booklet in the mail.
My Online Check-in is the latest of many helpful additions to the disneycruise.com website designed to help guests get a head start on planning their vacations. Travelers can also use the website to book shore excursions and register children for youth activities. In addition, adult guests can make spa appointments at the Vista Spa & Salon and book reservations for the romantic adults-only restaurant, Palo.
