Oh yeah you do. The TSA also wants to know who's sailing. That's why
the cruise lines ask you to register at least three days prior to the
sail date.

But we don't have to worry about restrictions on liquids or carry on
luggage
size and we don't have to take off our shoes or any of that kind of
stuff.

What world do you fly in?

We are NOT flying. That was my point. If we don't fly, we don't have to
worry about TSA restrictions.

Registering with the ship is something you'd have to do anyway.
Haven't people always had to tell a ship their names? It has been a
long time since people were able to come aboard and see people off.

If we don't fly, we don't have to comply with the luggage rules about
liquids or any of that other mickey mouse stuff that people that fly
have to do. No weight or size or number restrictions on the luggage.
Don't have to take off your shoes to get on the plane because we are
not getting on a plane.

Unless there's been a change and we have to take off our shoes to get
on the ship. I don't think so.

Would anyone like to second this? I always assumed that the 3
days closing was because they have to get their passenger
records ready for boarding. If what you're saying is true, why
wouldn't the airlines have a 3 day cutoff for pre-check-in? And
what happens if you don't pre-register for the cruise? They
still let you on.

Bottom line, I think your TSA comment is groundless and bogus.

You're OP said you don't fly *to the port* of departure. Do you fly to
someplace nearby or do you not fly at all because you have ugly-assed feet?

That too.

Impossible to enforce, unrealistic as well.

Nope, you get canceled by some, others place you on hold. A few will try to
resolve with the FedGov muster.

Go for it.

We drive. We don't fly. I have actually DO still fly (and have no problem
with taking my shoes off) but Bob absolutely refuses to fly anymore. And
he's now started to say he will not drive either and he doesn't feel like
taking the train either, so from now on I'm going to have to take cruises
(or travel) with grandchildren if I want to go someplace.

Agencies will soon have the choice of hard or electronic docs on HAL.
Probably by the end of the month.

Nope. Friday RCI announced that if you don't register at least 3 days
in advance,you will need to check in at least two hours prior to final
boarding, which is now 90 minutes prior to sailing.

From RCCL (RCI, Celebrity and Azamara):

Due to new government regulations requiring cruise lines to submit
final departure
manifests at least 60 minutes prior to sailing, guests are requested
to complete Online
Check-in at the appropriate website stated below no later than 3 days
prior to their
cruise. If you have not completed Online Check-in, you will be
required to complete this
process at the pier two hours prior to the published sailing time.
Please note: All guests
must be checked-in and onboard the ship no later than 90 minutes prior
to the published
sailing time or they will not be permitted to sail.

I was told last week that this check-in might take as much as 45
minutes.

Obviously not.
