This has always been our experience. I totally understand the crowd control needs and would not complain if turned away. But we are traveling with kids this round so just trying to play it safe. 😀

Haha we won’t! How did the Wellness Check go? Same questionnaire as usual plus a temperature check?

This is super helpful, thank you!! We have a 1pm boarding time so I guess we’ll shoot to arrive after noon(ish).

It’s been a few years since our last cruise and we’ve always shown up to port at 10-10:30 to board. I’m hearing that is no longer an option and your assigned arrival time has no flex and we’ll be turned away. Is that the new normal? We are Emarald (Diamond after this cruise) and booked in a JS. Suites and/or C&A members used to be able to board early in our past experiences. I should probably also mention we are on Allure out of Port Canaveral tomorrow. 😀 Thanks for any new info here!

Totally fine with the change. Really makes no difference to us as we’ve been to both ports several times. We’ll enjoy the options in Cozumel more than Labadee.

Wonderful! Thank you for the quick response!

We are booked in a Junior Suite in October on Allure of the Seas. Are we still able to dine at Coastal Kitchen, as long as there is availability? Couldn't find anything recent on this topic. Thanks!

Exactly what everyone else has said. We are 79 points as well and will likely book a 2 or 3 night prior to our December 8 night to enjoy the benefits! If you have the flexibility and can find something reasonable to you, then go for it! If not, enjoy the Diamond status on the following cruise!

I hear ya! We were booked on Jewel out of Denmark to see Norway when COVID hit. This upcoming December cruise will be our first time back since. Really looking forward to cruising again!!

Thank you both!

We are Emerald with 79 points. I used to know the answer, but have forgotten...we don't become Diamond until after the next cruise correct? We have an 8 night coming up in December and are considering a quick 2-3 night prior to enjoy the Diamond benefits on the longer cruise. Thanks!
