The Celebrity Cruises app makes cruise check-in easier by allowing guests to complete important steps before reaching the terminal. Depending on your sailing, the app can be used to provide travel document information, take or upload a security photo, select an arrival time, answer required health questions, and set up an onboard expense account.
But what happens if you notice an error after completing check-in? Can you edit the information directly in the app?
The answer depends on which part of your check-in you need to change. Celebrity Cruises allows certain reservation and account information to be managed through your Guest Account and app, but not every completed check-in field has a documented edit option.
This guide explains what you can do if you need to edit your Celebrity Cruises check-in and what to do when a particular field is locked.
You may be able to update certain information associated with your reservation or account, but Celebrity Cruises does not state that every completed check-in field can be freely edited from the app.
The app is designed to complete the check-in process, including scanning your passport, providing a security photo, selecting an arrival time, answering required questions, and setting up your onboard account.
If you discover a mistake, first return to your reservation in the app and check whether the relevant information has an available edit or update option.
For information that cannot be changed in the app, you may need to update the reservation through your Celebrity Cruises Guest Account or contact Celebrity Cruises for assistance.
Open the official Celebrity Cruises app on your mobile device.
The app is available through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Celebrity recommends downloading it before your sailing so you have time to complete your pre-cruise preparations.
Sign in using the same Guest Account credentials you use for Celebrity Cruises online.
If you have not created an account, Celebrity allows guests to create one and then access their reservation through the account.
After signing in, select the cruise reservation you want to manage.
Your existing reservations should appear in the app when you are signed into the appropriate account.
Look for the check-in option associated with your cruise.
If your check-in is still in progress, the app will normally allow you to continue completing required sections.
If you have already completed check-in, look for any available option to update the specific information you need to correct.
Review the particular section containing the incorrect information.
Depending on the information, you may be dealing with:
Not every section necessarily provides the same editing options after submission.
Celebrity Cruises requires guests to select an arrival time during the check-in process. The selected time is displayed on the mobile Xpress Pass, and Celebrity advises guests to arrive during their selected window to help avoid delays.
If you need to change your arrival time after completing check-in, check your reservation in the app for an available update option.
If the app does not allow you to change it, do not assume that repeatedly restarting the app will change the reservation. Instead, contact Celebrity Cruises or ask the terminal staff for assistance if you are already at the port.
Celebrity also advises guests who arrive outside their scheduled time to check their Guest Documents and make sure they complete the process before the applicable All Aboard Time.
Yes. Celebrity states that guests must add a credit card to complete check-in, but the payment method associated with the onboard expense account can be changed after check-in.
Celebrity says the payment method can be updated through the app, online, at the check-in counter on sailing day, or at Guest Relations onboard.
This is one of the clearer examples of information that can be changed after completing the initial check-in process.
Passport and travel-document information is an important part of cruise check-in.
Celebrity's app allows guests to scan their passport and provides instructions during the scanning process. Celebrity also states that guests without the required travel documents will not have a complete check-in and may need to finish the process at the terminal.
If you notice that passport information is incorrect or the document is not being accepted, check whether the app provides an option to rescan or correct the information.
If the information cannot be edited, contact Celebrity Cruises before sailing rather than relying on an incorrect record.
You should also bring the required original travel documents with you to the terminal.
Celebrity's app check-in process allows guests to take a security photo or select a photo saved on their device. The app provides photo guidelines during the process.
Celebrity advises following the instructions shown in the app, including avoiding hats, closed eyes, angled photos, and other people appearing in the picture.
If you need to replace a photo after completing check-in, first check whether the app presents an option to retake or replace it. If no such option appears, contact Celebrity or ask the terminal check-in team for help.
Health questions are part of the Celebrity Cruises check-in process.
If you entered an incorrect answer or your circumstances have changed, do not simply assume that the completed response can be edited from the app. Check the current reservation and check-in screen for an available correction option.
If the information cannot be changed, contact Celebrity Cruises for guidance before boarding.
For safety-related information, providing accurate information is more important than simply completing the check-in process quickly.
There are several possible reasons why you may not see the expected check-in option.
Celebrity currently states that app check-in is available beginning 45 days before the cruise and through the morning of sailing. The app check-in feature is not available on Celebrity Flora, Celebrity Xploration, or Celebrity Xpedition.
If the check-in option is unavailable, check:
You can also sign into your Celebrity Guest Account through the website to check your reservation.
Sometimes the information you want to change is actually reservation information rather than check-in information.
Celebrity's Guest Account provides tools for managing reservation information, including adding or editing certain guest information and linking reservations.
Therefore, if the information is part of your underlying reservation, check your Guest Account before assuming the check-in screen is the correct place to make the change.
This distinction is important because changing reservation information and changing a completed check-in step are not necessarily the same process.
If the app does not provide an edit option, use this approach:
Celebrity recommends completing check-in early.
App check-in is available from 45 days before the cruise through the morning of sailing. Online check-in through the website has a different deadline and is available until three days before the cruise.
Completing the process early gives you more time to identify problems with your passport information, photo, arrival time, or other required information.
Once check-in is successfully completed, Celebrity provides an Xpress Boarding Pass. The mobile Xpress Pass can be accessed through the app even if you completed check-in online.
Before trying to edit or complete your Celebrity Cruises check-in, keep the necessary travel documents nearby.
Depending on your itinerary and circumstances, these may include:
Celebrity strongly recommends that guests carry their required travel documents to the terminal even after completing mobile check-in.
You may be able to update certain information, but Celebrity does not indicate that every completed check-in field can be edited. Check the app and your Guest Account for the specific information you need to change. If there is no edit option, contact Celebrity Cruises.
The app requires you to select an arrival time during check-in, and the selected time appears on your mobile Xpress Pass. If you need a different time, check whether your reservation provides an update option. If it does not, contact Celebrity Cruises for assistance.
Yes. Celebrity states that you can change your onboard expense account payment method after check-in through the app, website, check-in counter, or Guest Relations.
The app supports passport scanning during check-in, but Celebrity does not state that every passport-information field can be freely edited after check-in. If the information is incorrect and no correction option appears, contact Celebrity before sailing.
First, sign out and back into your account and check the reservation again. If the Xpress Pass is still unavailable, contact Celebrity Cruises or speak with the check-in staff at the terminal.
Yes. Celebrity states that guests are checked in one at a time, but one guest can check in everyone on the same reservation. The person completing the process should have the necessary passports and travel documents available.
Celebrity states that a guest must be at least 21 years old to check in a child on another reservation. The reservations must be linked, and the child's name, reservation number, and stateroom number are needed.
If you cannot complete the required information through the app, you may need to finish the process at the terminal. Celebrity advises guests to have their required travel documents available.
Yes. Celebrity states that the mobile Xpress Pass is available in the app after completing check-in, regardless of whether the check-in was completed online or in the app.
Editing a completed Celebrity Cruises app check-in is not the same as editing a normal reservation. Some information, such as the onboard expense account payment method, can be changed after check-in, while other check-in details may not provide an edit option once submitted.
The best approach is to open your cruise in the Celebrity Cruises app, identify the specific information that needs correction, and look for an available update option. If the field is locked or unavailable, use your Guest Account or contact Celebrity Cruises rather than entering conflicting information or starting the process repeatedly.
Completing check-in early is also a smart way to give yourself enough time to resolve problems before sailing day. Keep your passport and other required documents available, and make sure the information connected to your reservation is accurate before heading to the terminal.
