How strict is Royal with the check in times?

Nobody enforces them in US ports!

We usually arrive at the port be it in the USA Caribbean Europe or the UK around 10.30am and are normally all checked in and on board by 11.00am.

Along the same topic...

They just opened up my online check-in (90 days out) 

The earliest boarding time I was able to select was 11:30 but I'd also like to arrive at 10-10:30 and get on board by 11

This is Harmony on Canaveral. From what I'm hearing there would be no issues arriving 1 - 1.5 hours before my boarding time?

Same for me, but based on a few other places I've seen this topic I'm just going to get there as soon as PC opens the terminal (I think 10.) Royal doesn't seem to enforce their check in times that strictly.

They're not.  I just show up when I want to, and I've never been turned away.

They do not care at all - as long as you pay the bill!

Someone posted on another thread that Canaveral strictly adhered to boarding times and told the OP on that thread they’d be made to wait till their assigned time. 

If it’s true, it must have just started.

We prefer to get to the port later.  If we time it right, we can go directly to our cabin

ROyal has not enforced suggested boarding times out of US ports.
