Carnival Cruise Lines has enhanced its "Fun Pass" online embarkation portal to allow guests to register for the shipboard credit card system and electronically accept the Terms and Conditions of Passage prior to their cruise. Guests sailing with Carnival can submit credit card information for their onboard "Sail & Sign" accounts via a secure encryption method and review/acknowledge the line's ticket contract, both of which previously had to be completed manually during the check-in process at the cruise terminal. Another new feature enables guests to designate a responsible party and pre-register up to three cabins at the same time in one session. Carnival's online embarkation portal, located at www.carnival.com/mycruise, was launched in 2003 to comply with the data-gathering requirements of U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). With FunPass, guests can register up to the day prior to sailing and are provided with a printable document allowing them to fast-track through embarkation. "Currently, nearly 90 percent of all Carnival guests take advantage of the convenient online ‘Fun Pass' system, and these new enhancements will serve to further expedite the boarding process for embarking on their ‘Fun Ship' cruise," said Vicky Rey, Carnival's vice president of reservations administration.
