We received an email stating earliest we could board for our upcoming cruise is 2 PM due to some sort of inspection.  Sail away remains 5pm.  Will there still be an embarkation lunch?  We normally try to board around 11 and have never boarded as last as 2 PM so not sure what to expect.  

 

Selective ignorance might be in order here if you try to board at the regular time of 11:30 AM.

Also slightly off topic but when is the best time to board with an 11 am start time? I imagine a lot of people will be lined up right at 11 am and would prefer not to stand in line. Is there a "good" window for boarding? 

 

And thanks for tip about the MDR - very handy and sounds great.  Peace and quiet will trump food quality or variety 😊

 

In all of my cruises, I have only once boarded before 11:30.  People are staged in groups for boarding based on your check-in time so there will be no rush to board.  If you arrive around 10:00 AM, you will be in the first regular boarding group after the physically challenged.
