What time to get to the Port

[ElliotReevey]

Hi,

 

My set sail pass has the following information:

 

SHIP: Allure Of The Seas

DATE: 04-Sep-2016 To 11-Sep-2016

CHECK-IN TIME RANGE: 12:30 PM - 3:30 PM

 

Given this, should I be aiming to get to the port around 12 noon - or can I get there earlier?

 

I don't want to turn up and be the last on the cruise!

 

Thanks

Your answers will vary, but since you are coming all the way from the UK for Allure, I say get there as early as possible and get your fun started. 3 times on Allure and Oasis at this terminal I show up between 10:30 and 11:00 once checked in the longest I've had to wait is 30 minutes.

Thanks, we have a 3 hour drive from Davenport so leaving at 7 sounds perfectly reasonable :)

We always try to arrive at port from 10:00am-10:30am. Never had to wait more than an hour to board. The latest we ever boarded was 11:30am.

That has been my experience as well.

Ignore the e-mail get there when you want to! RCI will board you as you arrive.

Not quite, O Expert on All Things Royal Caribbean. :rolleyes:

 

You cannot board until boarding has begun.

 

That can vary. Some ships start boarding as early as 11. Sometimes it is closer to noon.

 

There are a lot of factors.

 

If you are there and checked in before boarding begins, you will sit in the waiting area according to the pecking order. They will board bridal parties first, then suites and pinnacles, then D+ then D then P, E & G C&A members, then the newbies.

I ignore the sharing rule on drink packages.

 

Sometimes they will give me two drinks at once so I give the other to someone else.....
