Crown Princess Embarkation - San Pedro

[737binhog]

Our family of 6 will be boarding the Crown on Dec.19th for the 8 day Holiday MR. 4 of us are Platinum with preferred boarding passes. My MIL & FIL that will be traveling with us are not platinum and have a blue boarding pass. All of our cabins are cross referenced and are next to each other. Will they allow my in-laws to priority board with us? Will checking in together make any difference? Id like to board early but if it doesn't work out I don't mind heading to the pier later when the line has gone down a bit and board together.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hope everyone has a great day

If they arrive with you, they are usually allowed to check in with you, but then directed to the non-priority waiting area. The area for suites, elites and platinums is usually quite crowded, so they don't let others in. Of course, you can always go to the non-priority lounge with the in-laws.

When we were on the grand last August, none of our family or friends had priority boarding. We got on the ship first, so I could surprise them with flowers in our room. And they boarded at the regular time.

Unless the non-priority passengers sail in the same cabin as the priority passengers, they will not be able to embark with you. San Pedro is pretty strict about that.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the feedback. I will make my 1st attempt on a review with pictures when we return. Happy Holidays!

They used to not be so picky about it but over the past couple years, they've gotten pretty strict about who can/cannot go into the Elite/Suite/Platinum area.

 

If I were you, I'd wait and have all of you board together about 1:15 or so once the waiting mob has boarded.
