What is the Earliest Check-in Time Assigned?

[albertamom]

We are taking our first NCL cruise since Covid hit.  The earliest check-in time we could pick was 11:00-11:30.  How many check-in times are there before then?  Will we be right smack in the middle of the rush?

I guess when and where? Right now ships are sailing 40-60% full from reports. Lines should not be that bad.

I don't think I'd worry about the rush after March 1st when dockside testing ceases. Truthfully that is the slowest part of any boarding I've had since things started back up.  Timing wise though I think that is probably a busier time since everyone wants to get onboard and have a drink or food around noon.

Even pre-COVID-19, I don't remember ever seeing a "Check-In Time" earlier than 9:00am!

We got 9 - 930 on our ship/cruise

Thanks, all.  We sail in a week, so testing will still be going on.  I don't really have much choice, so we'll just go with the flow I guess.  We always used to arrive between 9:30 and 10:00, so this is all new to me.

9 was the earliest I saw. We took 9 because we are in the Haven and we are going to bougie and sit in that lounge haha
