ASolosailer Posted January 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I use a walker and like to avoid crowds. Does anyone know how early you can board the Allure? I was thinking about getting to the port early. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dett Posted January 23, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2015 We got to the pier about 10:45 for our January 11 cruise on Allure. However, there was a crowd both from people still leaving the ship and those trying to board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tominabox1 Posted January 23, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2015 the Allure is at the best terminal we've sailed from, you should be fine with a walker, even in the crowds. The port will be very busy all day so getting there early does not always help much but usually 10:30 or 11 AM is the earliest time they'll let you on the ship. You could always get in early and just be sitting in the waiting area but we've never been any earlier than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseMore1 Posted January 23, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 23, 2015 You could also request wheelchair assistance for boarding if uncomfortable using your walker in crowded situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Dazzles Posted January 23, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2015 When sailing Allure and Oasis have usually boarded around 11:30. They board by C&A status - suites, pinnacles, diamond plus go first, then diamond, etc. Not sure if there is special boarding for handicapped. Have seen people on crutches, with canes, etc. just seated with their family in the general boarding areas. Would definitely suggest ordering a wheelchair - there is quite a distance to walk, including up ramps, which might be difficult with a walker.

twindaddy Posted January 24, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Or just show up later, say 1:30, when everything has cleared out and you can breeze right on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
