Heather1972 Posted October 27, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Looks like people for 11/21/21 cruise on Divina out of Port Canaveral have embarkation times ranging from 2 to 3 pm. Ship docks at 7 am. Is the cruise terminal really sticking with that late time frame, or can we arrive earlier? Yes I know not at 7 am lol.

eagletwo Posted October 27, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2021 When we sailed on Divina September 16, We arrived at our assigned time. Did not see anyone get turned away. Seemed they were just checking at the entrance to see if you were listed on the manifest and had the required documents, then went through security check point and then to the check-in desk to have our photo taken, passport checked along with keeping a copy of our health form and looking at our CDC card and proof of the negative COVID-19 test. We got lucky and boarded in about 25 minutes. The computers went down a few minutes after we got on board. Some folks waited over 2 hours to get on the ship.

morrieb1 Posted October 30, 2021 #4 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I was on Divina 10/17 to 10/24, and participated in an online discussion group before the cruise. Everyone started with a 2pm embarkation time. Then, about two weeks before the cruise many of us started getting new emailed boarding documents with different times. I think I got a total of 12 emails with at least three different times- others got a lot more. Times ranged from 11 am to 3 pm. So what you see now is probably not what you will end up with. No one that I'm aware of was asked to wait - everyone was checked in as they arrived without issue. I am pretty sure no one at the port looked closely enough at the boarding pass to notice the time...they were much more concerned with the vaccination card and test results document. Apologies if its covered in that thread referenced above - I didn't want to go through all the replies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has been 3 pm since I booked and paid for the 11/14 sailing but today I received an email changing it to 12:30 which was about the time we were going to get to that area so it works out better than 3 pm. But now I’m going to wait to print out the new docs just in case they decide to change it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidless Posted October 30, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 30, 2021 On my 10/17 sailing we had 10 am boarding. We were YC so check in was a breeze. Ship wasn’t cleared and ready to board till about 10:45 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assure you its been done before 😉 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare styles27 Posted November 2, 2021 #9 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Well what do you know just did my first of 3 daily checks of my reservation and our embarkation time was moved again now to 11:30. (Our original was 3pm) Thinking they’re not expecting a lot of passengers this sailing. Edited November 2, 2021 by styles27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare styles27 Posted November 2, 2021 #10 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) How do I print the new docs from “my cruise” ? Of course MSC didn’t send me an email with this new info so I don’t have their link to print from.

Go into your Web Checkin, like you're going to edit something, then hit next a couple times until you get to the documents. Mine aren't ready yet, so I can't tell you exactly, but you should get to a point to download them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I printed out my original docs a couple of weeks ago. 🤦🏻♀️ Maybe they’re going to upgrade my room and they’re waiting for that to happen before releasing new documents? Nah that’s way too high tech for MSC’s system, they don’t think that far ahead lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quattrohead Posted November 2, 2021 #18 Share Posted November 2, 2021 11AM for me beeches 😁 I'll save you all a seat. I have boarding documents from 6 weeks ago but cannot generate new ones because my documents are not ready.....anymore. I think it is to do with registering a CC because it errors out when I try to avoid doing this. I will not believe this cruise until I am stepping off it at the end of the week.

Elkins45 Posted November 3, 2021 #23 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I showed up early for Davina in September and they let me go thru, but there were only about 800 people on that cruise. I suspect how strict they are about boarding times depends on how full the ship is and how many check-in clerks are available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwysonvctn Posted November 3, 2021 #24 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Ours is 1:30, but we will show up when we feel like it, like we do on every cruise. 😁 😇 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
