Under AT THE PIER on my edocs, it says :

 Boarding begins at: 12:00 pm
Please do not arrive earlier than 1 hour prior to boarding time shown.

Generally accurate.  There are staggered check in & boarding times.   Your boarding time can be delayed by many things inside and outside of the ground crews control.   You are requested to not check in prior to the time on your eDocs (the 1 hour window thing as mentioned by @mapleleaves ), but coming after is AOK.  

 

There are folks who like to get to the port and start the process as soon as they are allowed to do so, and then there are folks who wait until later to avoid the initial rush of people.

 

To me it's amazing how well they manage the efficiency of such a huge number of people off and on the ship and the dance of the luggage carts and provision loading.  I'm in awe of the crew.

Priority boarding (suites, ambassadors, platinum plus, platinum guests) usually begins before 11:00 am

 

General boarding usually begins before 11:30 a.m.

 

Since the ship sails empty from Seattle to Vancouver, boarding should be early and rooms will be ready as soon as you board. 

 

The Taste and Savor Main Dining Rooms will be open for lunch along with the Buffet.

 

The Observation Lounge will have a light lunch. 

 

The American Cafe will be open for an additional a la carte charge. 

 

As discussed before, Canadian law may limit the number of bars that are open, so you may have to go and hunt down the one bar on each deck.
