Purpose and Importance of the Boarding Pass

A Regent Seven Seas Cruises boarding pass serves multiple key roles for your cruise vacation including:

• Proof of identity and eligibility to board the ship.

• Verification of guest registration and health and safety documentation completed via the online check‑in process.

• Required to access the ship at the terminal. It is checked at embarkation.

• Often needed together with passport or other ID, visas, vaccination proof etc.

When and How You Receive It

• You complete the online check‑in process, which includes guest information, uploading a photo, health and safety attestation, etc. Cruise Critic Community+1

• After completing the required steps, Regent sends the boarding pass by email. You can print it or save it electronically on your mobile device. Cruise Critic Community+1

• The boarding pass is required for presentation at embarkation terminal, along with valid passport, visas, proof of vaccination etc. Cruise Critic Community+1

What Happens If You Misplace It Before Boarding

Losing the boarding pass before embarkation is stressful, but Regent has systems to help guests recover or replace it. This article explains how to do that, what documents to have, and how to prevent delays.

Steps to Take Immediately After Losing the Boarding Pass

H4 Identify What You Still Have Access To

• Check your email to see if you received the boarding pass message. Regent usually sends it via email following online check‑in. Cruise Critic Community+2Cruise Critic Community+2

• See if you saved or downloaded it to your phone or mobile device. Sometimes you may have forwarded it, stored it in a downloads folder, or used a backup service.

• Find your reservation or cruise summary document (often sent earlier) that includes booking reference, suite number, ship, sail date. That will help with identification.

H4 Contact Regent Seven Seas Cruises

• Call Regent’s customer service or reservations department. Provide your full name, booking number, ship and sailing date.

• You can also contact via email or through any online portal used for your booking. Explain that you lost the boarding pass and request a replacement.

• If possible do this before arriving at the terminal to avoid delays.

H4 Print a Replacement or Get an Electronic Copy

• If the boarding pass was emailed to you originally, ask them to resend the email or a secure link to download it again.

• Request a printable PDF version if you prefer paper, or ask for a scannable electronic version for your phone.

• If you have access to a printer, print it. If not, having a digital version is usually sufficient in many terminals, but verify with Regent for your embarkation port.

H4 Bring Supporting Identification and Documents

• Be sure to have your passport or government issued photo ID.

• Bring your booking confirmation or cruise summary document that has reservation number, suite number, guest name, sailing date.

• If there were health documentation, vaccination record, visa documents required, bring them too.

H4 Arrive Early at the Terminal

• Because of the missing boarding pass, expect possible extra verification steps at the terminal.

• More time may be needed to confirm your identity and reservation, so arriving early gives buffer.

• The staff may need to look you up manually in their system, check guest lists etc.

H4 What Regent Staff Will Do at Embarkation

• Staff will verify your identity via your passport or other photo ID.

• They will check their reservation system or guest manifest to confirm your booking.

• They may print you a replacement boarding pass or issue a temporary pass or validate your entry without a printed copy.

H4 Preventing the Same Problem Again

• Once you get the replacement, save several copies: one printed, one saved such as PDF, one screenshot, one in a cloud backup or email backup.

• If possible, download and/or add to mobile wallet or a folder easily accessible (offline) so phone battery or connectivity issues won’t block access.

• Before boarding day, put everything you need (passport, boarding pass, visa, vaccine proof) into one travel folder or pouch so nothing gets left behind.

How Regent Seven Seas Cruises Handles Lost Boarding Passes at Terminal

What Port Staff Can Do for You

• At the embarkation terminal there is usually a check‑in desk or guest relations counter. You can go there if you do not have your boarding pass.

• The staff can retrieve your booking by matching identity details (name, booking reference, passport).

• Then they can issue a replacement boarding pass or allow manual check‑in by verifying the needed travel documents.

Possible Delays or Challenges

• Wait times may be longer if many guests lose or forget boarding passes.

• If there is a mismatch between your identity and reservation data (name spelled differently, missing visa or ID), additional verification may be required.

• If staff need to issue a physical pass, there may be lines or queues; arriving late with missing pass may cause delays boarding or missing initial ship departure.

Backups and Electronic Options

• Regent allows mobile boarding passes. So having a digital version on device often works. Cruise Critic Community+1

• A screenshot helps when app or email access is unreliable.

• If cell service or wifi is weak, pre‑download or print backup.

Costs and Fees

• Normally there is no charge for issuing a replacement boarding pass—regretfully if it is a simple resend or print at terminal.

• But if damage or loss leads to needing special processing or out‑of‑standard hours staff intervention, there might possibly be an administrative fee (rare). Always check with Regent.

Best Practices for Different Situations

• If you are travelling with others in your booking, having one person show their boarding pass plus IDs may help everyone in your cabin proceed smoothly.

• Keep record of booking reference and reservation summary physically or digitally in multiple places.

• Always double‑check check‑in status a few days before sailing and ensure all required steps completed so boarding pass has been issued and stored.

Additional Considerations, Examples, and Frequently Asked Questions

What If You Never Received the Boarding Pass

• Ensure you completed all required steps in the online check‑in (including guest registration, health/safety forms etc). Regent cannot issue the boarding pass until everything is completed. Cruise Critic Community+2Cruise Critic Community+2

• If you believe you finished everything but still did not receive it, contact Regent customer service. Provide booking number and confirm email address used.

Electronic vs Paper Boarding Pass: What Works Best

• Many guests find electronic versions more convenient: saved on phone, screenshot, etc.

• Paper version is useful as backup when device battery is low or electronics fail, or when port staff require physical print.

• Determination depends on embarkation port rules and practices. Always check what is acceptable at your departure port.

Sample Scenario: Lost Boarding Pass Day of Embarkation

• You arrive at terminal without boarding pass in paper or digital form. Go immediately to guest services or check‑in counter. Present ID, passport, booking confirmation.

• Staff verify your identity, locate your reservation, issue replacement or otherwise allow entry.

• Possible backup verification: photo ID, reservation name on ship manifest, perhaps credit card used in booking.

Sample Scenario: Lost Boarding Pass Far in Advance

• If you lose the pass a week or more before cruise, the fix is easier: you can request resending via email, perhaps even print from a different device.

• Use online account to check documents section; sometimes the pass is stored under “Boarding Documents” in your account.

What Happens If You Lose Also Your ID

• Losing both boarding pass and passport or government ID is more serious. Without photo ID you may not be permitted to board.

• Always keep copies of your passport or ID number and scanning backup in a safe location in case of loss or theft.

Summary: Key Takeaways and Recommendations

• Losing your boarding pass for Regent Seven Seas Cruises is inconvenient but generally manageable. Regent provides ways to retrieve or replace it via email or at the terminal.
