revrick3 Posted December 11, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 11, 2021 We are on the Divina for Jan. 9 2022 sailing and guess what. Just got our cruise docs. YES ITS REAL. They came in email last night. Printed them out and wife and I just looked at them and grinned at each other. I guess this is really going to happen after all. The docs still show George Town. Guess we find out when we get there if we will get to the port. Only negative I had was our embarkation time is 3:00 PM. I called to see about an earlier time but they said it was computer generated and could not be changed. I really dont believe that but what ever. We are in premium balcony with fantasia so we are supposed to have priority boarding with this room so those perks might not be as good as they advertise. Anyone have any luck with getting embarkation time changed. We are flying in the day before so we will have alot of time to kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare styles27 Posted December 11, 2021 #2 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Yes on my Divina sailing 11/14th our original embarkation time was 3:00. In fact many of us on here had that time. A couple of weeks before the cruise I received a text moving it up to 12:30 and a week later it was moved to 11:00 or 11:30 can’t remember exactly. We got to the port about 11 and were on the ship in 15 min. There weren’t any lines at the terminal and maybe 12 other passengers checking in at that time. We only had 490 on our sailing. I have a feeling you’ll get the same notice moving your time up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened to us on Seashore last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrick3 Posted December 11, 2021 Author #8 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Thanks guys, sounds like I need to just sit back and dream of the cruise. I am ok with 3 pm. If earlier that is awesome. Seems right for new times to come later, I know it depends on number of passengers coming. Either way if we are on ship to hear horn blow as we pull out of Miami then all is good. With our way of life now life is all about flexability and change so all is good and we will take what we get. See you guys on ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkins45 Posted December 12, 2021 #9 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) My boarding time on Meraviglia last week was 3:00. I showed up around 1:00 and they let me thru. 20 minutes later I was on the ship. Edited December 12, 2021 by Elkins45 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this new? Fantastica before never had any boarding privileges. 23 hours ago, Postcards said: Yesterday received email- as of Dec 15th all Canadians must now have proof of Travel insurance. OK, I thought all must have proof of Corona Travel Insurance now. At least on the Virtuosa there are no exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrieb1 Posted December 12, 2021 #12 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I've cruised on Divina twice in the past three months. Both times I arrived before my listed boarding slot due to transportation timing.....both times I was able to board upon arrival with no questions asked. Even with the move to Miami - that should remain unchanged based on what I've heard from Meravigla cruisers. So if the assigned time doesn't work with your schedule - don't worry about it - just get there when you can. Mind you, I suspect its different if you arrive so early that boarding hasn't yet begun.

Elkins45 Posted December 12, 2021 #13 Share Posted December 12, 2021 It probably also helps that they are sailing at such low occupancy. Meraviglia sailed with less that 1200 people last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were embarking on MSC Virtuosa from Southampton in summer, our embarkation time was 4.30pm, ship was suppose to sail at 5pm. I called them to query, they told me ignore embarkation time & try to be there between 11am to 1pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KINGBOBOFTHENORTH Posted December 17, 2021 #16 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I was on two recent MSC cruises and on neither of them did anyone look at our embarkation arrival times. Just get there when you get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrick3 Posted December 18, 2021 Author #17 Share Posted December 18, 2021 That sounds like a plan. We will get up when we get up have a bite to eat and go on over to start our cruise. We are so excited to get back on a ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each time I go in to the "web checkin" half of the info I entered has disappeared. So I put it all back, go to "next" and nothing happens! Tomorrow I contact the agent!

I never received luggage tags so the porter threw one on and wrote my room number. Based on a number of comments from others and the number of handwritten tags I saw in hallways most people didn’t get their documents. Check in at the desk was a breeze, verified my documents, etc but it didn’t seem like he had to enter much of my information. I wouldn’t stress too much.

WoodyWindy Posted December 22, 2021 #22 Share Posted December 22, 2021 We "missed" the notice of our original boarding time being changed, so we just showed up at the original time and were able to board without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
