FAQ’s
Frequently Asked Questions
What time can I board the cruise ship?
Boarding times vary by cruise line and sailing. Confirm your check-in window and arrival time in your cruise documents, and arrive during your assigned window whenever possible.
Do we need a Canadian visa if we are not US or Canadian citizens?
It depends on your passport and how you are entering Canada. Some travelers need a Canadian visitor visa (temporary resident visa) to arrive by cruise ship, even if they do not plan to get off the ship in Canada. Others are visa-exempt and only need a valid passport when arriving by cruise ship. For the most accurate answer for your country, use Canada’s official tool to check your entry requirements before you travel.
What is the cut-off time for boarding the cruise ship?
Plan to arrive at least two hours before sailing. Boarding cut-off times vary by cruise line, and late arrivals can be denied boarding. Always follow the cutoff time listed in your cruise documents.
Is baggage storage available at the cruise terminal?
Limited same-day baggage storage may be available on cruise days and must be reclaimed the same day. Availability, hours, and fees can vary, so plan ahead and ask Guest Services when you arrive.
