cruiseraccountant Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 My friend and I are going on allure in a few weeks and I did mobile check in for myself a while back while she just did hers last Friday. As a result we were given different times to check in as I chose an earlier time and that time was no longer available by the time she checked in. So I'm not sure what to do and what time I should arrive. Do I try to change my time to hers or if we show up at my time do I have to wait until her time. First time cruiser so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melski94 Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Welcome to the boards! Check in times are not enforced so show up when you want. Most of us like to be there around 10 am so we can maximize time exploring the ship the first day. Enjoy your first cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 @melski94 is correct, the boarding times are suggestions, not requirements. Show up anytime you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show up anytime you like. What's the earliest we can show up? I picked a check-in time at 11 because that was the earliest, but if I can get on board sooner, I definitely would love to! Cruise is tomorrow on Enchantment :)!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantix2000 Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 11 is a reasonable time to expect boarding to begin. They may start the checkin process earlier but the exact schedule really depends on how long it takes to get everyone off the ship from the previous cruise.

Or will I be waiting around for a while? I don't have any kind of suite or crown anchor status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are so glad it is back local to us and the Majesty is gone. The new terminal at Port Canaveral (10 minutes from my front door) is really nice and is much more efficient at getting people checked in. For a ship the size of the Enchantment, check in using the "general" line isn't too bad. It looks worse than it is, waiting through the security line out front takes the most time. Once you get through that, the line upstairs to the counter moves really quick because they have a huge number of check in agents working. On an Oasis class ship, unless your Diamond or a suite guest, it takes a LOT longer to get those thousands of extra passengers checked in...... My wife and I are counting down until Dec 14th when we will be going out on the Enchantment. We have been on a lot of Royal Caribbean ships and still feel that the Chops restaurant on the Enchantment is the best in the fleet, topped only by 150 Central Park restaurant on the Oasis.

Thank you for the information! I will be traveling with a (turning 7 at sea) and 11 year old virgin cruisers who will be very anxious to get on board as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
