Oasis OTS Miami Boarding time. Can we show up earlier?

[codeyell0]

We have kids and have to test the day of the cruise for the kids.  We will be in town the day prior and have to check out of the hotel around 11.
Our boarding time is 2:30. that's a long time with small kids.  I was going to call in to RCCL tomorrow to see if we can make it earlier. 
I hear people all the time showing up when they want.  I would rather show up first thing and get the testing done. especially since we have to wait on results. 
With Covid not sure if they are strict about the boarding times.

It varies but they will likely enforce the check in times. Keep checking the app for earlier check in times.

My understanding was you need to make an appointment for the kids' tests.  If you have an earlier appointment, I assume they will let you board once the results are in.

You can show up whenever  you want. Getting on board may be the problem.

From all reports, Miami has been pretty strict about boarding times. I don't think calling can get you an earlier boarding time, so that will probably be a waste of time. Checking the app and hoping an earlier time opens up is your best bet. Otherwise you may just be at the port waiting with your bags in the heat until your scheduled time.

Sailed a couple weeks ago. Maybe you could try 30 minutes before. There was a long line of people waiting for their time.
