JazzBassMan Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Hey everyone, I'm boarding Odyssey of the Seas tomorrow and have a 12 noon board time (my fault for not checking in until noon the day after it opened) I know that Sky class suites can usually board an hour early, but does apply to Sea Class as well? Would be nice to get on earlier so I can make my dining package bookings. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Yes, Junior Suites can take advantage of the suite early boarding. dr martini, JazzBassMan, Cactus527 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knewby Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 so even if we have a set boarding time, JS can get in the suite line before that boarding time? Have 11am boarding on Odyssey next month out of Fort Lauderdale, so I could board at 10am? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Barcelona we arrived early and as Diamond JS guests were put with Key and Pinnacle guests to wait until boarding started. We boarded a few minutes later without regard to our time.

With the Suite perk how early does that mean I can check in. Going out of Port Canaveral on Wonder. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality they aren't going to look at anything on the SeaPass other than verifying you are in a suite to send you through the suites check-in line.

Va4fam Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 We were not permitted "early arrival" at the San Pedro/Los Angeles terminal earlier this month even though we were booked in a JS. Have had 100% success rate at all other terminals. FireFishII, WAAAYTOOO, Cactus527 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to get there around 10:30 vs my 12:30 check in time. I just don't want to be stuck waiting outside the terminal until my 12:30 time. Appreciate all the feedback.

Appreciate all the feedback. We got to our port in Dec early like 10:30 and were only Platinum then but in a JS. There was no line and we were escorted to check in and then straight to the suite lounge. There was about 35-40 others just hanging out waiting to board. They had drinks like coffee and water, cookies and brownies for us while we waited. Only had to sit there for about 20-30 min and then they started boarding and the line went very quick 10-15 min and we were on board. Very smooth and no anxiety at all.

HAK1906 Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 We arrived at our WOS earlier than our 12:30Pm check-in time and had zero issues going out of Port Canaveral. It was kind of a mad house getting into the drop off area since it was a full cruise and we arrived via an Uber. We of course were in a Junior Suite and we were shown right in and had zero waiting. We were on the ship within 15 minutes of arriving at the terminal and entering. I was told since it was a full cruise that they relaxed the check in times, not sure if it was true, but 15 minutes and through security, checked in and on the ship you can't beat that. Now this is all predicated on doing all of our pre-check in paperwork prior to including entering our photos, passports, etc... before the cruise, saves a ton of time.

Neesa Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Our Harmony out of PC ALL suites and Pins were escorted to a roped off comfortable area. First we watched Star being escorted onboard and then the announcements started. Pinnacles were invited to board and then "all suites guests". Very orderly and oh so quick! Love stepping onboard each and every time watching the ship come alive! Cactus527 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaschbash02 Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 Anyone leave out of Port Liberty, NJ and was able to board early with a Jr Suite? Our assigned boarding time is 1:30-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
