rbdavis3591 Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 Everyone keeps asking about whether ports are forcing passengers to show up for their assigned boarding times. This brings up my question: Is there a set number of passengers for each boarding time? It would be nice to know so that when people arrive at a terminal and their assigned boarding time is in the first group but there are 1,000 people in line ahead of them they know whether boarding times are being enforced. Using a ship sailing at full 4,000 capacity how many passengers would be expected in each group? 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM 11:30 AM - 12:00 PM 12:00 PM - 12:30 PM 12:30 PM - 1:00 PM 1:00 PM - 1:30 PM 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM 2:30 PM - 3:00 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't as easy as taking the number of time slots and dividing it by the number of passengers, too many variables. You have to factor in Suite guest and other specials, how many are there, that are authorized to enter at 11:00 AM, there abouts. They probably have algorithms that predict how many will show up late, miss flights, transportation running late to the port, etc etc. Raven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 That'd be interesting to know the answer to. For various reasons I doubt t it's an even split among the slots Moby Dick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Diego Garrett Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 I've been wondering this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac3001 Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 I'm boarding at 10:30 on Saturday for Symphony. I'll see if I can ask someone. PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 10:30 on Symphony for June 25, so I'm very curious. Also, if you are making UDP reservations I'd be curious how that went as well.

bobroo Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 I bet different embarkation ports have different passenger loading capabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie10* Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 On the Allure in April 11:30 had 400 to 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrznTxn Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 On our last sailing out of Galveston the 10:30 line was very long but when they did open a few minutes late it went rapidly. Seemed several hundred people signed up for the early slot and we were #100. The 11:00 am line was virtually empty compared to the 10:30 line and they got onboard not too long after we did. Wife is thinking we may move our boarding time to 11:00 for the upcoming cruise but more rabid heads prevailed and we are sticking with the earlier slot.
