Crystal Cruises’ fast-track check-in takes stress out of embarkation

Crystal Cruises, known for its ultra-hands-on service, has announced a first-of-its kind check-in process that will ease embarkation procedures for all guests.

From now on every Crystal embarkation port, “Crystal Fast-Track Check-In” eliminates all of of ship check-in procedures in port terminal waiting areas, transitioning guests from dock security to theCrystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity lounges.

Guests will be able to check in from the comfort of the Stardust Lounge on Crystal Serenity

By utilising a new barcode on each guest cruise ticket, a new ticket scanning system and the consistency of Crystal’s own onboard crew, the cruise line is accelerating the check-in required on the first day of sailing.

As is customary, in each embarkation port, porters load guests’ luggage onto the ship and guests observe required local security procedures as they enter port terminals. However, instead of processing documentation in the terminal, guests are whisked through and ushered onboard to complete registration and receive their room keys/boarding cards with photo identification.

“Travellers want to start their holiday as soon as possible,” says Crystal vice president Philip Ordever. “By enhancing the ease, comfort and speed of embarkation day logistics, our guests get instant access to the ship and can enjoy the luxury of the Crystal Experience all the sooner.”
