Inspiration Boarding Time

[mgg42]

Can anyone give me some insight into how early they start boarding on Inspiration out of Tampa. I know what the "official" time is, but my experience is that most cruises are usually much earlier than this. Just wondering what the story is on this particular ship.

 

Thanks!

Was about 11:15 am for us last fall when boarding started. Check in was about 10:30 am ish.

When we got off the Inspiration on Saturday, there was already about 100 people lined up and waiting at 10am. I'd guesstimate around 8-900 were there by noon.

The Legend boards from the same terminal. We always arrived around 11 or so and went right through to boarding. Took about 30 minutes without any problems. Plan on bringing your bathing suit and a change of clothes so you can use the pool while waiting to access your cabin. Lido will be open for lunch and DOD!!! Have a great cruise. :D

They normally open the gangway about 11 A.M. to start the actual boarding of passengers. Of course, this can go either way, depending on many, many factors. I'd say you're safe to plan on boarding the ship any time after 11.

Thanks everyone! I'm landing at the airport about 10:30. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to have to sit for hours before boarding!

Oh no. If you land at 10:30 go right to the port. They will most likely be boarding by the time you get there and get checked in.

"Inspiration" is a wonderful cruise! Since her "refit" she's REALLY good, and I personally, enjoy her more than most of the "Conquest" class ships. LOVE the serenity deck especially!

Wish I could join you!
