Embarking at Marseille, what time?

[amurray88]

I'm joining the Seaview from Marseille. It docks at 8am and leaves at 5pm. MSC have my embarkation down as 3:30pm which seems very late...with Symphony of the Seas in April we were on by 11am and that was a full boat turnaround. 

 

Is it really 3:30pm? Has anyone experienced joining in Marseille? Can we go at 11ish?

 

Thanks!

The only people they have an early embarkation chance is Yacht Club

3pm seems so late 😟

We sailed from Marseille in 2017 and I think boarded around 12pm. That said we were on an Aurea package which gave us premium boarding so it was straight to the front and we were on within 20 minutes...mind you 2017 is a lifetime ago in terms of cruising now.

 

We're sailing again from Marseille, this time on Seaview. However we are fortunate to be YC this time so expect to board reasonably early.

11 is the worst time, you maybe will wait hours. usually from around 2 pm it will be acceptable.
