Time to Board

Hi folks. We're doing the Dec. 27th Caribbean (first timers)...coming in from LA the day before...Do you know when we can board on departure day? Thanks!

It is almost invariably 2pm. I have been allowed on board earlier than that only one time and the owner with his entourage were there too so that might have made the difference. I would not count on any earlier than 2 pm.

Sounds like a decent time...We never like going aboard too early..sounds like the owner and entourage are there a lot? Is that a good thing? Overwhelming?

I've sailed with him once -- and his kids a few times. Crew can get a bit frazzled when he is onboard, but I've got like 20+ cruises on SD and only sailed with him once or twice. Don't worry about it.

Thanks Vandrefalk! Looking forward to this...new ship..new deal...slightly different intinerary than WS...especially love Ile de Saintes....used to stay at this wonderful hotel there which has since changed hands....take care!

The only times we have been allowed on board before two was the two times we were doing back to backs and we could board whenever we wanted on the second leg.:D

We have sailed with the owner multiple times and it is really no big deal.

It was 2:00PM for us, but don't worry it's the best ever. Easy and very nice the way they do it.
