Booking a cruise online – do I need passport info?
When booking a cruise online, do they ask for passport number at that time, or do you provide that later, like when you board the ship?

NO! no passport information need when booking. After your booking is complete you will be requested to go back online at some point and enter a bunch of personal information including your citizenship and passport number. BUT, you have up until about 3 days before the cruise to complete all of this precruise information.
If you do not complete the pre-registration information they will request that you be at the cruise port at least 3 hours before departure time so that you can complete it. The reason for this is that all cruise lines must now provide to the Homeland Security office (Immigration) a complete listing of all passenger. and this must be provided to HS at least an hour before the ship set sail.
As a guide, here’s what’s on Royal Caribbean’s web site about the registration information:
“When you check-in online, it saves time. You won’t have to fill out any forms at the pier. When you and your party arrive, you’ll just need your signed SetSail pass, identification documents, and credit card that you register online.
First, gather the following information for all the guests you’re checking in:
Ship, sailing date and Royal Caribbean reservation number
Passport or appropriate proof of citizenship and identification
Home address
Emergency contact name with phone number
Travel plans before and after your cruise
Credit card for the Onboard Expense Account”

Are tips included when booking a cruise online?
I’m looking to buy a cruise through a discount website like cruises.com or vacationoutlet.com. Their price says it includes the cost of the cruise and taxes. Does that include tips as well? I know that Carnival Cruises usually charges you an extra gratuity per person per day. Is that included in the cost or will the cruiseline charge me extra for that?
