This is my first time cruising with MSC and I selected an 11:30 check in time. Do they normally let you on the ship shortly after checking in or do you have to wait in the terminal for several hours before they let you board? I’ve sailed numerous other cruise lines and you normally can board right after you check in. However, 11:30 seemed kind of early for a 6pm departure. I’m sailing on the Magnifica out of Miami. I have the base package (Bella). Thank you in advance!
