Boarding Gem in NYC on 3/31/time

[MayC]

Haven’t cruised out of NYC in 5 yrs. Have selected an 11-11:30 check in time. We r also Platinum members.  How strictly do they adhere to check in times

Left out of the Manhattan Cruise Terminal on the Gem in late January. No one looked at our check in time.

There have been some instances where people who showed up earlier than their selected time have been asked to wait.  They do this for a reason - people need to respect that.  Your status doesn't matter for the selected arrival time.

Thx for info. We r traveling with another person who chose a different check in time so wondered how strict they were with this

Unless you're arriving very early before or just as they open up check-in, they wouldn't check your time.  We did see them making people who had later check in times wait outside because the terminal was too full or at capacity.

 

Once things are moving along, they really don't care about your check-in time.  Enjoy!
