Boarding Documents

It is the guest's responsibility to arrive on time for boarding. Please check with your travel agent to confirm boarding and departure times. Individual ticketed reservations will be held as late as 60 minutes before the vessel's scheduled departure without risk of automatic cancellation, or you may check-in ahead of time using Online Check-in. Failure to check in at least 60 minutes in advance will constitute a no-show. Your booking will be cancelled, and cancellation charges will be assessed.

Note: For security reasons, guests are not allowed to bring visitors on board Celebrity vessels in any port.

CruiseCare Travel Insurance includes Trip Delay coverage up to $500. If you miss the departure of your trip due to carrier-caused delays or other covered reasons, the plan reimburses you for additional accommodations, meals and "catch-up" transportation expenses.

Passport Requirements to Enter the United States

Effective December 31, 2006 the U.S. Government's Intelligence Reform Bill requires passports for all air and sea travel to or from Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean and Bermuda.

What this means to you

• Guests will be required to present a valid passport during ship check-in formalities.
• Guests not holding a valid passport should apply for one as soon as possible.   
• Guests holding ARC/Green Card are exempt.

Immigration

You are responsible for bringing all travel documents, such as passports, visas and proof of citizenship, required for boarding the vessel in the country in which you embark on the ship; and for entry or re-entry into the country in which you disembark, even if you have used online check-in.

Using Your Seapass

For onboard purchases, you will be provided with a Seapass Account. The shops, lounges, shore excursions, and AquaSpa operate on a cashless system; therefore you must use your Seapass Account when purchasing beverages and services throughout the ship. Your account will be validated during the online check-in process or upon embarkation by using a Visa, MasterCard, or American Express credit card. Accounts can also be settled by cash or travellers checks. At the end of your cruise, you will receive a completely itemized statement reflecting your charges.

Sea Travel

For voyages that begin and end in the same U.S. Port, U.S. citizen guests may travel with both a Government issued birth certificate** and Government issued picture ID card, such as a drivers license.

**A 'birth certificate' is issued by a government agency (state, county, city, etc.). This document (with seal and signature) is legal proof of citizenship that can be used by U.S. citizens for certain international travel. A 'birth notice' is issued by a hospital or other type of medical facility but it is not an approved travel document. It is a courtesy document that merely indicates where a birth occurred. It has no legal status and cannot be used to prove citizenship for international travel purposes.

Porterage

For your convenience, porters are normally available at the airport and at the pier to take your baggage from curbside to your ship. Remember to keep your valuables and fragile items with you.
