FAQs
Online Check-in is available 45 days before your cruise and remains avaiable up to 3 days before you cruise. App check-in is available 45 days before your cruise and remains available until the morning of your sailing (not available on Celebrity Flora, Celebrity Xploration or Celebrity Xpedition).
Boarding begins roughly between 10 and 11 a.m., depending on the ship's schedule and how long it takes everyone from the last cruise to debark.
