Fish42 Posted November 17, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Prior to my sail on Nov 9th, I had a brief discussion with my fellow passengers as to whether it was a good idea to show up for early embarkation at the San Diego cruise port when two ships are in town. My experience on this date was great. Aside from a mis-direction from the cruise port staff (not HAL), everything was very smooth and leisurely. We arrived at the terminal around 10:20am and were in the waiting area by 10:40am eating cookies. We boarding about 11:10am and our staterooms were ready. A few of the other passengers suggested to wait until 2:30pm to avoid the crowds and mess of two cruise ships in port. I disagree. I was on board the ship for more than three hours prior to this time, which I think was well worth it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbear Posted November 17, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Are you 4* or were you in a Neptune suite etc? That’s amazing! We are heading to San Diego soon for a cruise and debated what time to show up at the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAllenTCY Posted November 20, 2019 #7 Share Posted November 20, 2019 November 9th was a Gospel Group chartered cruise. Only VIP members of that group were allowed to board as early as you did. General boarding began at 11:45 am. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
