I received an email saying "Hello, this is Royal Caribbean International. We would like to provide you with important information regarding your sailing on January 10, 2015, onboard Oasis of the Seas. To enhance the check-in and boarding experience, we ask that guests arrive to the terminal based on the following times.

 

Guests on decks 14, 10, & 3 should arrive for check-in at 1:30 P.M.

Guests on decks 9 & 7 should arrive for check-in at 2:00 P.M.

Guests on decks 12 & 11 should arrive for check-in at 2:30 P.M.

We invite our Suite, Pinnacle, Diamond Plus, Diamond, Emerald and Platinum guests to arrive anytime between 12:30 P.M. and 3:30 P.M. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation, and look forward to welcoming you onboard the Oasis of the Seas."

 

Does this mean we should arrive at the pier at 2:30?

Yes.

 

If you choose to arrive earlier, don't complain if there are long lines and you have to wait.

 

BTW, I would arrive earlier. Causing long lines and wait times. :D
