Rare cr8tiv1 Posted February 4, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 4, 2023 There is absolutely no formula for when you can pick arrival times. I've had it as early as 59 days. That's when I start checking....everyday. That is absolutely ridiculous: 1. Princess knows what the ship is. 2. Princess knows where she will be ported. 3. Princess knows how many passengers they need to process. 4. Princess has done it before (at that port) on most of their voyages. 5. Princess NEVER announces when arrival times can be picked. 6. Princess rarely checks arrival times. And you wonder why her "loyal" passengers are frustrated with Princess. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jeter02 Posted February 4, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 4, 2023 60 days prior to your cruise You can book your arrival time. At least that's what it has been for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA At this point in time it really doesn't make much difference what time you select but someday they might enforce time boarding as a normal thing. Just in case, as others have said, it begins at around 60 days prior to your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA They used to open at 59 days for most cruises. But now, after the restart, it’s been 59 days to about 12 days before. My last one opened right at 59 days. Just keep checking, if you want to pick one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billco Posted February 4, 2023 #11 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) There is required and suggested information. Picking an arrival group is under suggested. I'll arrive when I arrive. Edited February 4, 2023 by billco 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt here are a handful of people (probably live close by the port) that could actually predict a time slot when they'll arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that ships are sailing mostly full, they may at any time begin to monitor arrival times. Best to pick a time rather than bet they won't check in the future. We picked ours at 58 days prior. I checked every day until it opened. Edited February 4, 2023 by PTMary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted February 4, 2023 #16 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Not: 80, 60, 50, 45.....and counting. It is what it is. Princess likes to "surprise" their passengers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatbird Posted February 8, 2023 #20 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I'm 3 weeks away from sailing. I'm in the blue lane and don't have apps. The paperwork says the ship starts boarding at 12:30 pm. Where do I find a time to pick for arrival? It doesn't show up in the suggested list. This is for Ruby Princess out of Galveston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By your statement of "don't have apps" are we to assume that you do not have a smartphone...or at least a phone that is compatible with the app? You can do almost everything you need to do as far as getting up to "green lane" by using a PC or tablet. Do you know how to get into the "Cruise Personalizer" for your cruise? If so, just scroll down a bit on the summary page until you see: Click on "Try our web version" You should be able to find your way from there...but if not just come back and ask for more help. Plenty of people here who will be glad to help out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbird Posted February 9, 2023 #22 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I went to the web version, then to the suggested items but didn't find an item for choosing a check in time. You're right I don't have a smart phone, or tablet, but I do have a pc which I'm using now to write this. I don't mind being the blue lane,but did want to know when to arrive. I guess I could just show up around 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nini Posted February 9, 2023 #23 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Having an arrival time does not matter. When you get there, they sort you into groups. Disabled board first, then Elite and Suite people, then Platinum, then everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
