Chatty Cathy,
Jean summed this up quite well, better than I could have said it myself.
More and more cruise lines are encouraging this, which does indeed speed up
the boarding process. On our (my wife and I) last cruise on Carnival, we
filled out everything we could online, including the immigration forms. This
was even encouraged in the packet itself we received in the mail from
Carnival itself, which by the way, included our boarding passes and luggage
tags. Arriving at the port of embarkment, all our information was then
already in the computer. They needed to verify our identity, see our
passports and swipe our credit card. Doing online what you can before hand,
Jean is correct, it greatly speeds up the boarding process.
Happy sailing,
John S.
