Boarding Times for late Departures

[read2learn]

Does anyone know the usual boarding times for an 11pm departure?

Thank you!

Which itinerary are you looking at that has an 11:00pm departure time? I might be able to find a suggested start time for boarding on that itinerary.

October 3rd from Barcelona. I am trying to decide if I need to change my flight to a later time. I have already booked/paid for the cruise but didn't even look at the boarding time until now. Thanks for any help!

QE is scheduled to arrive in Barcelona at 07:00 on October 3, 2022 with departure time set at 23:00 as you already know. One website that lists embarkation times is Cunard's partner site for Spain. That site lists the embarkation time for your cruise as 12:00 with a note "CHECK IN STARTS AT 1200P".

 

I wouldn't expect your assigned arrival time at the cruise terminal (once you complete online check-in) to be any later than it would be for a cruise with a more typical late afternoon/early evening departure time, given check-in at the terminal is supposedly going to open at a typical time of noon. Bottom line is I don't think you will want to change your flight to a later time even though your cruise departure time is 23:00.

What time is your flight due to arrive ? Are you travelling the same day ?

I am scheduled to arrive at 6:45 on the 2nd.This is the wisest choice due to current airport situations but would love to just go from airport and board. If the boarding time ismiday then that will be fine. Thanks for your info!

Given every thing going on with airports and airlines at the moment unless you are a Cunard arranged flight, I would suggest flying into Barcelona the day before just in case, and enjoy the city before you board the ship.
