All aboard time on app <90 minutes before departure on embarkation day?

[pellanor]

I noticed on my app that all aboard time on Solstice is 3:30 tomorrow even though departure time is listed as 4 pm. I remember when checking in that all guests must be aboard at least 90 minutes before scheduled departure time. 

 

Is the real all aboard time 2:30 or 3:30?

What is the last boarding time shown on the app?

I wouldn't cut it that short.   I thought that the Final Manifest must be submitted to Homeland Security at 1 1/2 hours prior to boarding.  

 

I know that on a recent B2B's the general boarding time is 1 1/2 hours prior to sailing but we were on a ships excursion for B2B's and we didn't get back to the ship until 30 minutes before sailing.  We of course had already been checked in and were on a Ships Excursion.

I wouldn't cut it that close either but am curious more than anything else.

Probably just a mistake.  Non embarkation days it's 30 minutes, typically.

I'm not sure I'd even concern myself with the stated departure time.  The all aboard time?  That's the important one.

Your eDocs most likely say 90 minutes (they did for our last two Celebrity cruises).  I would trust that a lot more than anything on the app.

Rule One about sailing on Celebrity - don't believe anything you see on the app.

Better to be on the ship earlier than later.
