Recorded message telling when we can embark ???

[grak]

We got a recorded message saying our embarkation time was between 2:00 and 4:00 on our Splendor cruise. I've not received one of these before -- is that something new? Does everyone get a call with different times? What time is usual for embarkation (Long Beach)? ???

Go when you want to.......Standardize message they have been sending out lately....:rolleyes:

Get there early, that counts as your first day....you'll have to wait on your room, but you can enjoy lunch and tour the ship. Have a great cruise!

Got the same message all three times I sailed the Splendor, have always got on about 11:30am.

Unless I know or hear that the ship is coming in late, I am never there later than 11:00 AM.

It is cpossible they are doing a crew check or an inspection that will hold back embarkation by an hour or so. I went in September and I got the call too not show up before 2pm. I walked from the QM to drop my bags off and they said it was a crew check (visas) and that it would hold up embarkation. I was in the VIP/special boarding group and we were let on after the wedding party (who were adamant that they could take as much tme to board as they pleased..NOT!!!!) shortly after noon.

Thanks all -- I'll just show up and see what happens. Probably won't get there much before 1:00 anyway. :)
