Zenith 1/9/06 Embarkation/Debarkation Tips

[PitCritter]

Greetings,

We're on Zenith 1/09/06. First time on X. We will be spending a couple of days in Miami Beach prior to departure. We would like to get aboard Zenith and stake out a deck chair as soon as possible. Any tips? What time can we realistically arrive at the dock to avoid waiting around for hours before embarkation? Also, we're driving to Miami, so we have no flight departure time. That being said, we'd like to get on the road as early as possible on the way back. Are there any tips to get off early? On Carnival, if you can carry all your own luggage off, you can get off hours earlier.

Celebrity usually starts boarding aroung 11 to 11:30AM, although your cabin may not be ready for you. You will be able to drop off your carry on luggage in your cabin and then tour the ship and "stake out" your deck chairs. Have a wonderful cruise, hope you enjoy Celebrity, we do.
