jsn55 Posted November 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I finally slogged through everything for checkin on our December 22 cruise to Hawaii - it's only taken a couple of months and two dozen tries. I've downloaded Medallion on my phone. I'm in the 'Green Line'. I need to pick a boarding time and cannot find the place on the website or my phone to do that. Supposed to use Ocean-Ready, but no boarding time choice comes up for me to chose. Princess is not impressing me with their tech foolishness!

Depends on port clearance. Well, there you have it. THANK YOU! I can't find it if it's not there yet. God forbid they state that under OceanReady; just sitting there blinking at you fits right in with the image that Princess projects when it comes to tech. We're 43 days out, but now I have confidence that it will show up sooner or later. I mean, what else do I have to do with my time than beam up Princess every morning? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted November 10, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 10, 2022 We are on the same cruise, and it’s not available yet. Hopefully it’ll be opened soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will happen if you never get a boarding time assigned? Do you think you won't be allowed to board? Boarding time is pretty much ignored at the pier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our boarding times start at 1 pm and end AFTER our cruise sails, lol. No biggie. I got the first group at 1 pm, but we are going to show up around 11 anyway.

My husband has trouble standing and walking long distances, I'd like to make boarding as easy as possible. I would have no way of knowing that boarding time is ignored at the pier, would I?

Mike45LC Posted December 7, 2022 #11 Share Posted December 7, 2022 jsn, the wonderful forum participants are here to reassure you that your husband will have an easy time boarding! Do the pre-boarding stuff to get yourselves "Green Lane" and ignore the boarding time assigned to you. Have a wonderful cruise. Just for the little it might be worth, I was booked on a "guarantee" cabin for my next Princess cruise, and I have only checked to see if I've been assigned a cabin twice in the last three months. I am comfortable with the knowledge that I will be assigned a deluxe balcony (or better) cabin before I board the ship -- which takes place roughly a month from now. And maybe my upgrade bid will be accepted to put me in a mini-suite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.cruise Posted December 7, 2022 #12 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Agreed, on the last 5+ Princess cruises, no-one at check-in has ever looked at or mentioned our boarding time. With flights, luggage and Uber transfer (from Miami or Fort Lauderdale airports), I can’t time it properly anyway. So I usually pick an early time for us, and no-one cared if we showed up even before our slot. I may mention that we are Elite, so we skipped a couple of lines here and there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito1 Posted December 8, 2022 #15 Share Posted December 8, 2022 We showed up 3 hours before our "official" time and no issues. I don't think I'd try to do this around 1 pm, but 11:00 was almost empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Shelly97060 Posted December 8, 2022 #16 Share Posted December 8, 2022 @jsn55 princess does not enforce boarding times, you will be fine. Also, if it will make it easier on your DH you can ask for a wheelchair to transport him on/ off the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
