I know that different ships/itineraries have different earliest boarding times (apparently in part impacted by when the prior cruise completes). I'm cruising out of Miami on Freedom on the 29th and have been trying to determine what time is the earliest boarding time. The on-line system gave me 1PM, but I suspect there is earlier that might not have been available. I'm Platinum and staying in a Junior Suite (so no real check-in perks). FWIW, I tried calling C&A support but they claim said they have no visibility into ship boarding times.
I believe our ship arrives in Miami the day before our cruise so not sure why it would have just afternoon boarding. Has anyone gotten on Freedom in the last year in the AM?
