sissyb Posted January 11, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Sailing on POA and departure time is 7pm. What time will we be able to board? Not sure what time to have a car pick us up at our hotel to go to the cruise port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe4all Posted January 11, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2017 We had Johnnycab pick us up at 11:00 at our hotel. We got to port at 11:25ish, and were onboard by 11:45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you stay on the ship until it sailed? Or were you able to get off and explore the island a little? We are getting to Hawaii the day before sailing but would like to know options in case we wanted to get off the ship (after boarding) for a little while :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(15 min walk) Chinatown is also nearby, and a lei making factory, but we didn't go there. When we went back to ship the terminal was crazy busy. We went to a worker who led us to the front of the line, as we had already checked in, and we were back on the ship almost immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YadaYadaJodi Posted February 9, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I haven't been yet - I'm planning a September trip on the POA - but one HUGE hint I've read for the Pride of America is that the Muster Drill on embarkation day is around 4:30. If you miss it, you will have to make it up while in port in Maui. I don't want to mess up my Maui day since we are there overnight so I plan to definitely make the Muster Drill on the 1st day.

Freehike Posted February 17, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 17, 2017 You can be onboard around 11:00 / 11:30'sh. Most rooms aren't available but not a big deal if you are prepared. Bring your swimsuit in your carry on and you can enjoy the pools while there aren't a lot of people onboard yet. Last POA we got onboard immediately and found a nice spot to read and enjoy some alcohol. It was great.
