Matt Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Best bet is to get to port as early as they will let you. Not sure about Southampton, but here in USA, that's usually between 10:00 - 10:30am hallyluhopper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallyluhopper Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 We fly into Orlando 6:14am, and just found out transfer don't start until 10:30am. Going to be a long morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 We fly into Orlando 6:14am, and just found out transfer dont Stanton until 10:30am. Going to be a long morning Might be too late now but you can rent a car from MCO and then drop it off in Port Canaveral. If 2 or more people, can be cheaper than transfers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayBird Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Getting there early always helps. When we board the ship around 11:00, usually the line to check in is longer than when we checked in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyG12 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I also get there as early as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVE(Darkcabbie) Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Fortunately for us when we sail in October on the Indy we are staying overnight in a hotel which is right opposite the Ciy Cruise Terminal where she docks so we will be there as soon as we are allowed in. I wonder if they would let me fire a zip wire across and board James Bond style :) Sammie and Villageidiot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure about the James Bond entry haha Sammie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylor Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 1. Be organized, have your boarding documents completely filled out and ready. 2. Get to the port early. 3. Don't pack prohibited items in your carry on or checked luggage (firearms, candles, alcohol, etc.) Sammie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
