Can someone board the ship late at a port of call?

We are supposed to sail 4/13 on a 12 night and one person might be able to sail. Can she fly to st. Maarten and board for the first time there?

Probably, but that would have to worked out with the cruise line in advance.

If people have issues with flights flying in on the day of the cruise and miss the ship, I know they can catch up with the ship and board at the first port of call. I would think your situation would be the same. My suggestion would be to call RCI and verify everything before attempting it though.

You have to get approval from the cruise line has other have already posted. However it also should be noted that there is always an outside chance ( for various reasons) that the ship's itinerary has to change at the last minute which could cause the person not to be able to meet up with the ship.
