I can't tell you the earliest time, but we typically arrive at the pier by around 10:30 and that is what we did for our cruise out of Copenhagen. I doubt your hotel checkout time will be before 10:00 so you shouldn't need late checkout. You are assigned a check-in/boarding group and directed to the the seating area for that group. When boarding started at around noon they went to each seating area and directed you to go to check in where you got your cruise card and proceeded directly to boarding. This is the only port where we have seen them use this process.

Are you assigned when you arrive or pre-assigned by booking ? i.e. is this progressive boarding ?

We arrived a little before noon last year and got right on. Even though we had priority boarding, it wasn't really needed. It was a very quick process for everyone.

Not pre-assigned and not progressive booking. At most ports you check in, get your cruise card and are assigned a boarding group. When your group is called you can board. At least a couple of years ago in Copenhagen you received a boarding group after going through security and you waited in that group's seats until called. At that time you checked in, got your cruise card and boarded right away. Only port I have seen that process used.

We previously checked in at 11am for our Baltic cruise. No problem.

Thanks for clarification - we arrive in Copenhagen the day before we sail and hope to use the next morning for sight seeing. So not aiming for early boarding.
