Priority boarding

[Fl cruiser 2012]

My husband and I are diamond and will be on Independence Sunday. My aunt is cruising with us what are the chances of them letting her board with us? I don't want her to have to wait alone to board.

Depends on the port. We have in the past gone up with the group to the priority check in and just said we'd like to check in together. Sometimes they let you sometimes they don't. Depends on how busy things are.

 

So it's worth asking, but don't be upset if they don't let you. I would assume though that you wouldn't have your Aunt checking in by herself and you would all go over to the regular line.

 

That is assuming she has her own room. If you are sharing a room, shouldn't be a problem since you are all on the same setsail pass.

You said Independence, but your sig says Freedom. So which is it????

In Bayonne, they let our friends board with us. I asked nicely and they said ok.

Once we cruised with friends and the last time with parents, both first timers and without any status. No one ever asked or said anything.

 

But for us it would be no problem to wait with friends/family in the standard line.

I have boarded several cruises in the priority line and those with me have been allowed to come with me. However I have also found that sometimes the priority line is longer than the regular lines.

I was the only one in our group of 7 with priority status. they let us all board together in Port Canaveral. very nice staff - easiest embarkation i've ever experienced.

We sailed on the Indy in February and our friends who are gold were

able to board with us in the priority line. For what it's worth I am not convinced that it is any faster in the priority line rather just a manner of

making all the lines shorter.
