Quick answer
Most operators now accept e-tickets on your phone, but some still ask you to collect a boarding pass at the port office. Check your confirmation: it shows the vessel, departure port, time and whether you must check in.
What to know
- Save your ticket offline before leaving Wi-Fi.
- The vessel name matters more than the company name at busy ports.
- Arrive at least 30–60 minutes before (earlier with a car).
