Ban-One Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hi, going on a cruise with the Rhapsody this month on the 29th. The last few times we embarked in Ft. Lauderdale and were always able to get on the ship early. I wonder if that is also possible in Venice. Officially it starts at 11.30am. I really like to get on the Rhapsody as early as possible, even though Venice is very nice (but we'll stay here for a few days after the cruise). Maybe anybody has some experiences with the embarking process in Venice? Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Are you referring to the boarding time RC assigns you upon online check-in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ban-One Posted September 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 @Matt Hi Matt, thanks for you reply. Yes, I'm referring to the official embarking time I got on my check-in papers. They gave me a time-window (11.30 - 16.30). But in Ft. Lauderdale it was always possible to show up earlier than the official time (window) - but it's been a while, maybe that changed. I just wonder if it's possible to do that in Venice as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
