New U.S. government security regulations require us to submit certain guest information to law enforcement authorities at least 60 minutes prior to departure. To meet this requirement, we must have the necessary information in our records at least 90 minutes before departure. If we do not have your information by this deadline, you will be unable to sail. Guests are urged to complete the Online Check-in process before leaving home. Guests who wait to check in at the terminal risk being unable to sail even if they arrive at the terminal before the vessel leaves. You will be responsible for all costs you incur to join the vessel at the next port.
For guests residing in the European Economic Area (EEA), please note that compliance with these requirements may involve sharing the information you provide to Holland America Line with our affiliates and agents and/or to government and enforcement agencies in the U.S. and other countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) where controls on data protection may not be as strong as the legal requirements in your country of residence. Holland America Line values your privacy and adheres to best practice technology to protect your private information, utilizing Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. Our Privacy Policy is available for your review.
