littysmom Posted January 22, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Can anyone tell me what time we can board. The earliest option given when completing online check in is starting at 1pm. We've never boarded that late in the past. We are meeting our kids there, and want to board together, as we are flying down the day before, and they are flying the day of. Thanks!

Ace5614 Posted January 22, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2020 For both the Vista & Horizon, they opened the doors about 10:00 AM. Boarding began about 11:15. Have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are early/late you may be sent to the Early/Late Arrival time line Boarding begins when boarding begins. It can be 11:15 am or 12:30 pm or any time in between.

littysmom Posted January 22, 2020 Author #4 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Yes, that's what's confusing. We're Platinum and have priority early boarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Traveler Susan Posted January 22, 2020 #5 Share Posted January 22, 2020 In November my boarding time was 12:30 - I got there at 11:30 and they told me to go right through...……. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littysmom Posted January 22, 2020 Author #7 Share Posted January 22, 2020 We're in the same cabin, so they board with me. My daughter's boarding pass says Platinum since she's in my cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooklynfc Posted January 22, 2020 #8 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Platinum, Diamond and Faster to Fun should not have a "check-in" time. They can arrive at the first available time at port, which seems to be about 10 or 10:30am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, with the Priority noted they can arrive as they want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted January 22, 2020 #11 Share Posted January 22, 2020 We have cruised out of Miami multiple times over the past few years on both Victory and Horizon. They have started the boarding process at 11 AM (+/- 15 minutes) for every cruise. Seems like we get lucky every time we cruise out of Miami with boarding always starting around the same time. We have had boarding delays several times when cruising out of Canaveral and Tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRVEGAS711 Posted January 22, 2020 #12 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Prepared to be disappointed that there is no lounge or perk for being Platinum in Miami. You have your own personal Coke machine to feed dollars into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wenderbender Posted January 22, 2020 #13 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I was on the January 5th Horizon cruise out of Miami. We are platinum and were on board at 10:45! I couldn't believe how smoothly the process went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
