Showing up after scheduled boarding time

[coscab]

We have a boarding time of 10:30 on our documents, if we arrive later, like around noon, will we be able to just get in diamond

line or will we have to wait in a line for people who arrive later than their boarding window?

Opposite situation for me.  I have 3 pm boarding, but, am doing a side by side same port so I'll be there quite a bit earlier.  Wondering how strict they are?

Yes, with Diamond you always can board "with the next group", no matter, when you arrive.

That depends on the port and even more on the number of people boarding. On a cruise with multiple boarding ports the situation is very relaxed. If you go from Miami on a full ship you can expect to wait many hours if you arrive 11am instead of 3pm without YC, Aurea or Diamond.
