Check in time….how strict?

[lucy n]

We’ve been given an hour check in for the Splendida next week and I wondered how strict MSC are with this if you arrive late?  Our slot is 10-11am, but we will have arrived in Rome very late the night before so I think we were aiming to get to the ship early afternoon…..if we’re late will they still let us on?! Doesn’t depart Civitavecchia until 7pm from what I can see

I highly doubt they care if you arrive later. They, like most lines, are more concerned about 5000 people showing up at 10AM instead. You're probably doing them a favor.

Yes, no problem to arrive later than your check in time. Usually around 3pm there are no more check in numbers/groups because the number of new guests is already very small and you can walk straight on the ship.
