tigger54 Posted January 3, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Good morning cruisers. I may have asked this question a while back but can’t remember and don’t know If there is a way for me to check my older posts. we are 39 days away from boarding the Nieuw Statendam and have not been able to choose a boarding time. Will I get an email when the time comes or is there something I am missing on the navigator. I have not found anywhere where I can pick our time. I really would like to board earlier than later and know the early times get taken quickly. Any help or advise on where/ how to pick my boarding time would be appreciated. This is our first time on a Holland America ship but not new to cruising. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea42 Posted January 3, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Boarding times are assigned on HAL. It might not be assigned until a couple of weeks before sailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Suzy Posted January 3, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) HAL will assign a boarding time. It will be on your boarding pass about 2 weeks prior to sailing. Note that the time is subject to change until the barcode appears on it. That said, most ports do not strictly enforce the time. However, once thru the check-in and security areas in the terminal, you may have to wait for the ship to be cleared.

Rare FlaMariner Posted January 3, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 3, 2023 From our experience boarding Holland America Line cruises in Fort Lauderdale and Amsterdam (4 boardings since the unpleasantness) we were able to check in when we arrived and we were assigned a boarding group based on our arrival in the terminal. All the boarding time assignment dance was not worth fretting over. Easy peezy and they are glad to welcome you aboard when you arrive. We choose our boarding time.....and it was based on when we arrived at the terminal! Enjoy the journey........... Disclaimer: Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. YMMV.
