Princess Priority Boarding at Ft. Lauderdale

[ecs66]

For many years we've sailed out of  Ft. Lauderdale.  As Platinum members on Princess we used the line/entrance for priority boarding.  In Feb. 2020, that option had been discontinued -- no priority boarding.  Can anyone say whether this still is the case, or can you priority board again?

There was a priority line in January when we were there.

Check in is now so quick that the priority boarding is useful only if you arrive before boarding actually begins.  In that case you are assigned an area to sit in and wait to be called.  Suites and elite have a room on the second floor, platinums have a seating area outside the suite/elite lounge, and other levels have a waiting room on the lower floor just like they did pre-Covid.

FWIW, when we boarded the Sky a few weeks ago, the dedicated Suites/Elites "lounge" was not used. We waited en masse in the lower boarding hall then all headed onto the ship, boarding in order of priority based on the boarding card we were handed at checkin. This was different from the boarding procedure used when we boarded the Sky in November, when the dedicated lounge WAS used.
