Laura Your Aqua status will give you a higher priority on boarding as opposed to your Select status. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select is a level in Captains Club between Classic and Elite. It has nothing to do with cabin category. Aqua Class cabin will most probably have shorter lines to board.

cangelmd Posted May 10, 2019 #7 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Miami or FLL? We boarded around 11:30 in Miami as CC Select in Aqua Class, and it didn't really matter, the boarding lanes were really close to each other and not crowded at all. We went to board AQ, but I think they sent us to Select because there was no one in the Select Line at that point, and a few people waiting for AQ. FLL may be different.

Solution Posted May 10, 2019 #8 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I was in Honolulu last month boarding the Eclipse to Vancouver. The Aqua Cabin line was longer than the SELECT/ELITE/ELITE PLUS line, so we joined the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayleeman Posted May 11, 2019 #10 Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) Our Aqua line was short in FLL, but we derived no benefit because of stopping to look at EVERY SINGLE GLITTERY LANYARD IN THE KIOSK!

Depending on the Departure Port, if you get there quite early, priority can be both for the line to get to the service desk to check in and potentially the line or area to wait after checking in until boarding is permitted. For the latter, Aqua definitely has priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AQ Class was called early but there was very little organization of the boarding process. Hope it is better next time, We are E + but not sure that counts anymore???

Been a few years, but when we were departing from Yokohama in 2016, suites, AQ and CC had organized boarding priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fogfog Posted May 12, 2019 #15 Share Posted May 12, 2019 On our recent sailing the signage for the line for Select, Elite and Aqua was at one station. It was far longer than Concierge. We almost left to go to the Concierge line. There were over 900 Elites on the sailing -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all really depends on the port and ship. EDGE terminal no longer had check in lines. Suites and Zenith have their own place to wait.. in the big open area, when they called AQ class it was a Zoo!

Beanb41 Posted May 13, 2019 #17 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Priority boarding is generally only available in some ports. Even then it can depend upon which category of priority boarding is chosen by the port staff to go first. AS more and more passengers become eligible for priority boarding the pleb queue is often the shortest. Besides we are only talking about 15 minutes at peak time between steerage and first class boarding so I wouldn't worry about it. Select by the way according to the manual have no priority status. This starts at Elite. Concierge and above are supposed to have priority status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeRick Posted May 13, 2019 #22 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Are you asking about the check-in line or what checked-in passengers actually board first? Sometimes they let suite guests board before others. That was the case with Edge in January. In practice, in most cases there is an announcement that the ship is ready to board (10:30AM or so but could be later). Everybody already checked in starts to head for the ship in all categories.

Boarding has always been quite orderly by categories in our past cruises..but on EDGE, while they tried that...it was hard to control. Probably because all groups were seated together rather than by Cap Club level.or Cabin Class. No need to be the first ones on...but not interested in being trampled. X needs more staff to help the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
