My review of the Emerald Princess (last week on Eastern Caribbean)

[mollyanne]

We arrived at 10:45 and were in group 2 and on the ship at noon.

Thanks for the review. I'm glad you had a good cruise!

10:30?!! I'm surprised they let you on that early!

 

That's what time we arrived. There was a wait, but it wasn't bad.

You don't actually board at 10:30 but they sit you inside the terminal for 45 Min - 1 hour downstairs & possibly another 15 minutes upstairs. It's still better than standing around in the heat outdoors.

I got there at about 10:30am or so and we were among the first to get on, but I'm a platinum member so we have priority boarding.

Find out if your hotel offers a free shuttle and sign up for the earliest time slot. The wait to get on the ship isn't too bad if you get there early.

 

Thanks for the info, we are all elite so if we get there around 10:30 we should be in the first group to board. We are staying at the Worst Western cruise port and they have a free shuttle. I just need a place for them to sit until we can board.
