Carnival Booking Information
Have your Carnival booking number available. Group guests may need the applicable cabin-level booking number associated with their reservation.
Online check-in is an important part of preparing for the Juneteenth Freedom Cruise™. Carnival Cruise Line manages the official online check-in process for your cruise reservation.
Before you begin, have your Carnival booking information, travel documentation and other required guest information available. Completing the process in advance will help you prepare for embarkation and obtain the documents needed for your arrival at the cruise terminal.
Carnival currently allows guests to complete online check-in within 14 days prior to sailing. Online check-in must be completed no later than midnight Eastern Time before the sailing date. Guests should complete the process as soon as their check-in window becomes available rather than waiting until the final day.
Gathering your information before starting can make the Carnival online check-in process faster and easier.
Have your Carnival booking number available. Group guests may need the applicable cabin-level booking number associated with their reservation.
Have the travel documents you intend to use for the cruise available so the information entered during check-in matches your documentation.
Be prepared to provide the guest, travel, contact and other reservation information Carnival requests during the online check-in process.
The actual check-in process takes place through Carnival Cruise Line. Follow these steps once your check-in window opens.
Access your reservation through Carnival Cruise Line's Manage My Booking area. Create a Carnival account if you do not already have one, or sign in to your existing account.
Carnival may request your booking number, guest last name, date of birth, ship and sailing date to locate or associate the reservation with your account.
From your Carnival reservation's To Do List, select Online Check-In and follow the instructions provided for each guest on the reservation.
Complete the requested guest information, travel documentation, travel plans, onboard expense account, cruise preferences and other required check-in information.
Select an available Arrival Appointment when prompted. Your selected appointment establishes the designated arrival period for the cruise terminal.
Review the information carefully, complete Carnival's required acknowledgments and Cruise Ticket Contract, and confirm that online check-in shows as complete.
Carnival's online check-in process collects information necessary to prepare your reservation for embarkation.
Completing online check-in does not replace the requirement to travel with the proper identification and travel documentation. Each guest is responsible for having the documents required for embarkation and travel.
Your official online check-in is completed directly through Carnival Cruise Line. Use the button below to access Carnival's Manage My Booking area and begin once your check-in window is available.
Once Carnival shows your online check-in as complete, take a few additional steps to prepare for embarkation.
Access your boarding pass after completing the applicable Carnival requirements. Keep it readily available for embarkation, either in the accepted digital format or printed for your records.
Access and print your Carnival luggage tags before leaving for the cruise. Attach them according to Carnival's instructions before checking luggage at the terminal.
Review the Arrival Appointment selected during online check-in and plan your transportation to the cruise terminal around your assigned arrival period.
