What should you know before check-in at Cruise Terminal 7?
- Check your boarding pass for the terminal number rather than assuming — Port Canaveral moves ships between terminals, and CT-7 has no regular line assigned in the current schedule. Download your cruise line's app and complete online check-in before you arrive.
- Adults need government-issued photo ID. Kids under 16 without a passport can use a birth certificate instead — it doesn't need a photo
- Security is airport-style; queues run longest between about 11am and 12:30pm on a multi-ship Saturday
- After security, follow signs to the check-in hall. Have your booking number handy in case the app acts up
