What is the priority boarding for Diamond PLus?

[tampadee]

I didn't do our check-in early enough and we know have 1:30.  Can we get on the ship earlier because of Diamond Plus?

It depends where you sail from. Not all ports have this option.

There is no longer any priority to board the ship for diamond plus (at least not Port Everglades). As far as the check-in time....on my last 2 cruises...Port Canaveral and Port Everglades they didn't even pay attention to the check-in time assigned.

No. At least not in Miami. D+ are with everyone in a long double line.

Just go at 11 ot 11:30 and right onto ship. They don’t look at your time.

From front door to screening , there is no D+ priority  in any of the ports . 

[shipgeeks]

At Baltimore they are strict about time; and there is no priority for D+.

There is a difference between boarding and check in.  

 

If you have a check in time of 1:30...that is when you check in to the terminal ...not when you board.

Unless ship is ready then its the same.

If you have a check in time of 1:30, go at 11.

And depending on the port, you'll be told to come back at 1:30.

And those same people will kick and scream, stomp their feet with a pouty look on their face about being denied to check in or having to wait in line, longer. 😭

Yep. No one asked time in Miami.

OMG....you should have seen them last night in front of the MDR.   It is deck 4, which does the MTD seating, with first seating at 6:45.   A few "ladies" were having a hissy stomp fest about not being seated right away (when we were going in at 5:15 early traditional).

And that makes it right?

I cruised out of Miami last month and they strictly enforced check-in times. Heard a lot of upset passengers but terminal staff members did not budge one bit and told passengers not to return until their check-in window. On the other hand, I just got off a B2B on Wonder and no one at Port Canaveral verified check-in times.

We just cruised from port Canaveral and they had everyone seated in groups by boarding time.  
pins, key and suites boarded first
