Rare joe/jack Posted May 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2022 We are checking in this Saturday for our June 4th cruise If we want early (1st) time slot does it make sense to login at 12:01am. Or just wait till 6:00am my normal wake up time. Thanks for you responded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProgRockCruiser Posted May 19, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 19, 2022 12:01am Eastern Time. Not sure where you are at, so your local time may vary. Keep in mind D&Ps get to sign in two days earlier, so you will not necessarily get the first time slot, just the earliest available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Cruiser Posted May 19, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 19, 2022 If you want the first time slot, you might want to do it at 12:00 am Eastern. Platinum and Diamonds will already have had two days to choose their slots and there will be others who will be waiting up that night to select their spots. Even then you won't be guaranteed the first time slot, but you will be able to get the earliest of those remaining at that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keywest1 Posted May 19, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Also, when you start your check in, go immediately to the section to choose your arrival appointment time. Once you have done that, you can save and come back later to finish everything else if you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eli_6 Posted May 19, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I always log on at 11 pm the day before (which is midnight eastern time) and try to get the earliest time slot. I usually get the first or second slot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He logged on at 12:01 this morning for our June 11th MG cruise and got 10-1030. We have 2 rooms booked (other room is booked in my name) so I have to wait until Saturday at Midnight to check in. I am not platinum or diamond. Hoping i get an early check in as well. 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimd909 Posted May 27, 2022 #14 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Does it matter what time slot you get if you are in a suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csm5986142 Posted May 27, 2022 #15 Share Posted May 27, 2022 No, you will board first regardless. We have been on 7 cruises since the restart, and that is one thing that has been consistent on every ship - they have called for passengers in suites first for boarding, then started with boarding group A01, A02, on down the line. Just show them on your boarding pass that you are in a suite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suites have a separate waiting area and only there is the announcement made 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. The system should eventually recognize your priority status, which allows early check in. At least that was our experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drazil65 Posted May 29, 2022 #20 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) How do i go immediately to the section to choose arrival time? You will go page by page and click the "skip this or Save for later" at bottom of each page. You can go back and complete those skipped pages at a later time. When you get to the appointment page, complete it and save it. FYI, there is a You tube video by a guy that shows you exactly how to skip through and get to the appointment page if you want to look it up.
