What time can you get into your room?

The title says it all!  I am asking specifically about a Western Caribbean route for this time but I am also curious about the Mediterranean routes where passengers dont all embark at the same port (for a cruise next year).  Trying to decide when to board and how much of my luggage to just keep with me.  Thanks!

I don't know if it's ship dependent, but on Seaside, rooms were available at 2pm. They had a carry-on holding spot at Shine Bar, with security and claim tickets, etc so you could drop it there, explore, get s bite to eat, etc then pick it up when rooms were ready.  (YC rooms were ready earlier)

I imagine it's quite different in the Med with the multiple embarkation/disembarkation ports.
