Rory Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Sailing Symphony 12/2 and check in just opened. Earliest time was 11:30. Asked if this was normal for Port Everglades cruises and most answers were yes, it is normal. I have usually had 10:30 or 11 times in Miami, Galveston and Long Beach. Can any cruisers that sail Royal from Port Everglades recently share their check in times? Our group also speculated that since this sailing is just after Thanksgiving perhaps they needed extra time to put up Christmas decor? Other question is when would suite guests with priority boarding arrive if 11:30 is the earliest check in time? Thanks for any feedback!

You're going to be there super early if you show up on the 29th. Aren't you on the same sailing as us on the 31st? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveling Mike Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 On most of my cruises in the last 3 years have been 11 am or 11:30 am boarding times. I have not seen 10:30 am times. They cannot get you on the ship until they get everyone off the ship from the previous cruise. Getting everyone off and cleared takes time.

WAAAYTOOO Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 In general, my recent experiences has been that the terminal will generally start allowing people in between 10:15-10:30 and then actual boarding will usually start around 11:15-11:30. Every terminal is different but generally these seem to be the approximate times. I have not received a 10:30 arrival time lately. They seem to start around 11:00 these days but it seems like they’re opening the terminal around the same time as they used to. YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmar02 Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 We are sailing from Port Everglades on 10/31 on Liberty which is her first cruise from the port. She is coming from NJ with no passengers and the earliest check-in time for our sailing was 11:30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now that I know it will be an empty ship, I may show up at 10:30 just in case. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmar02 Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 @PL8SWPR my theory is the repositioning is why nothing is showing up in the app yet too. I'm the one in our family tapping my foot in the hotel the morning of a cruise and pushing them to get to the terminal early. I'm sure I'll see you there - just look for the crazy lady with purple hair knocking on the terminal door to see if they are ready for us yet.

tonyfsu21 Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 We are headed out on Symphony 12/30 from Port Everglades.

sleepy425 Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 I just checked in a couple days ago for Freedom out of Miami in Dec and 11:30 was the earliest time (and I was on right when it opened at midnight). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
