Does anyone know when Princess lets you pick the boarding time you want? Thank you very much! Good question. The Medallion Class App Travel checklist Personal information and documents move down to Suggested arrivals As far as when it opens? Used to be about 59 days before…but recently it has been much closer to departure. I’ve seen 3 weeks or less. So, I just keep checking. Lol It has not really been strictly adhered to, so I wouldn’t worry about it. I’d go when I needed to go, if you don’t see it opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruzin4us Posted September 18, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I have a question for elites. I thought one of the perks was priority embarkation, so is it necessary to even get an assigned boarding time? What am I missing here (unless this is a covid thing).

We've cruised four times since the restart. On three out of four, we walked directly from security checkpoint to the ship. Fourth time, we were there a bit early and were directed to wait in the elite/platinum/suite waiting area. All people in that area boarded at the same time. You probably should get an arrival time anyhow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do get on first when the ship is ready .I still do get a boarding time anyway. Maybe, it’s for their benefit to handle the crowds, or someday they may adhere to the times.

Grand Princess... Yours should have opened by August. But then again, you are boarding in San Pedro. And the Grand is coming from an foreign port. It may have be cleared by customs and border patrol/Coast Guard. San Pedro and Princess are notorious for not having their act together at this cruise terminal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted September 18, 2022 #20 Share Posted September 18, 2022 3 minutes ago, PacnGoNow said: Does San Pedro check in go smoothly? It depends on the pier. I can only speak for Berth 93. There is a permanent building (verses a "permanent tent" at B92). It can be a little chaotic if you arrive before 10 AM when all off-loading passengers are trying to get picked up and you are trying to get dropped off. One line into terminal. Up escalator/elevator. Separated into Priority check in or not. All go through the same security line. There is a dedicated room for Elites/Suites with beverages and danishes with overflow seats just outside. They are boarded after in-transit passengers and before Platinums. Switch back ramp (3x) to get on to Promenade Deck. The tent doesn't have the same accommodations (I don't think). This berth is used for the larger ships like the Royal Class ships. Princess did manage to fit the Discovery into Berth 93 with her tail sticking slightly out. I have cruised out of B93 often. Never really had any major issues. They now have iPads at check in stands (no more counters) and iPads when you disembark after you pick up your luggage. I usually arrive around 10:30.

Rare roxievegas Posted September 19, 2022 #24 Share Posted September 19, 2022 We have gone out of San Pedro (LA port), San Francisco, and NYC (Brooklyn) - always show up around 11:30 - makes no difference to us what time they assign us. We show up, tell them we are green, (also Plat) and no one asks to see anything on our phone about our check in time. Never had a problem checking in My advice -show up and get on board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchHill Posted September 19, 2022 #25 Share Posted September 19, 2022 One of the options for our upcoming Enchanted Princess cruise extends to 4:30 pm - the ship sails at 4: Yet another well thought out option on the damn medallion. We'll be sitting in the Elite/suite area about 11: am. Darcy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
