Deba Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 When we did our check in , the only time we could get for boarding was 1pm. What are the chances of getting on the ship earlier than that? We are Platinum Crown and Anchor and we were hoping to board around 11:30.

Ryan79 Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 You can always show up earlier and try to board. You might get on or you might be told to wait. All depends on the people working check-in at the port that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 As the other poster stated,you could try but don't be mad if they make you wait. It also depends on the port. Some will allow you to board regardless of check in time, but some are strict and might enforce within a 30min time limit. I.e they might let you get on at 12:30 for a 1pm check-in.

JasonOasis Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 You crown and anchor status doesn't matter and since you didn't provide your ship and sail date all we can say is we hope they let you on early. I've been on Wonder for 2 weeks now when we first set sail people with who showed up early and attempted to check in at Port Canaveral were forced to wait in line outside the terminal but that was because we are on Wonder and it we were at capacity. Since you're not pinnacle you status is meaningless and will not get on you on the ship any quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattycruise Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 I see you are on Mariner but I will post this for others who may read your question and this might apply to those people. If your shp is coming in from a foreigh port, do not plan to arrive early for what you think was the check in time others may have. In September I arrived in NJ from a Nj/Greenland/NJ cruise. It took HOURS to get off the ship. I did not get off the ship until after 10:30. n October I arrived in NJ from a transatlantic out of England. It took HOURS for everyone to get off the ship. I will be boarding Jewel next week. My check in time was not until later. The ship is coming from Quebec. I will assume it will take these people HOURS to get off the ship. Otherwise, for typical close loop sailings it will be up to the pier workers as to what time they will let you board. In Baltimore last year they very much stuck to your arrival time-and had you cordoned into little areas based on your setsail pass. Standing outside, in the cold. They funny part was I had a 10:30 am arrival but hey had 11am as the earliest arrival. They did not belive my setsail pass and said too bad...so I stood in the 11am line. Such is life.

tjcruisers Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 Last cruise they had multiple lines based on checkin time. They checked the set sail pass and directed you to the proper line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
