Priszm Posted August 11, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Hello. Yesterday did all of our pre-boarding stuff for Oasis in November. We were automatically assigned a check in time of 3pm. Does anyone know if earlier slots ever become available? Wondering if I should start checking for earlier times daily or if the time we have is it and shouldn't bother. Thank you.

molly361 Posted August 11, 2021 #3 Share Posted August 11, 2021 My November Indy cruise has ONLY 3-3:30 as a check in time. If they don't open up other times it's going to be a cluster ---- at 3pm😇 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only a 4 night cruise, and our first time on an Oasis class ship. I want as much ship time as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Oceansaway17 Posted August 11, 2021 #5 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I just tried to do checking in for Symphony for Nov 6th and it took me all the way up to arrival times. Then there was NO list of times only and blue exclamation point. trying to call on line support now. I had no issues with other two cruises for Aug and Oct.

Rare Teeara Posted August 11, 2021 #6 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I spoke with an RCI representative this morning. She checked with her supervisor and she said our November Indy booking hadn't been loaded with all the available times yet. So hang in there, folks! No idea exactly when they would be loaded.

I nicely suggested they have a comment saying "unavailable please check back" instead of a blue ! and he typed it up and sent to the IT dept.

Marie51 Posted August 12, 2021 #8 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I chose 1 PM for my check in time for my August 30 cruise. When my sister did her online check in the 1 PM time slot was not available so she had to choose 2 PM. Since will be arriving at the pier together at 1 PM or before I wonder if they will allow us to check in together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgoff60 Posted August 12, 2021 #9 Share Posted August 12, 2021 And...we also got a 3 pm slot for a November Allure sailing. My question is what happens if we show up at noon or 11 am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is what happens if we show up at noon or 11 am? They are being super strict now and not letting people check in till their time. If you show up at 11 you will be waiting outside till 3. Better to just show up close to your time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did it on my Allure cruise, but it was a test cruise. Hope they stick with it otherwise it’s a free for all. 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampurp85 Posted August 13, 2021 #19 Share Posted August 13, 2021 @Marie51It has been reported on every review since the restart and I think it is even listed in the FAQS. They weren't even selling the Key because there really isn't priority boarding. Also on FB, couple of people tried to do this and had to wait in the heat until their scheduled time.

If you're willing to risk having to hang out in the beautiful weather for an hour (if you're into beautiful Florida sunshine), the reward may have you touring the ship an hour earlier. The boarding police responders will let us know that this should be a crime punishable for 20 years....fact remains - risk/reward as decided by you and you only.
