Delayed boarding for June 19

[mar214]

Just received a notice that boarding time for Monday June 19 is delayed by 1/2 hour. Anyone have the inside scoop about the cause for the delay?

Which ship?

details? What ship? What departure port? Also, a 30 minute delay is not that big of a deal.

Big whoop.  30 minutes

Sorry- forgot to include Venezia has the delayed boarding. Wondering why it was decided so far in advance.

They have not even gotten to Bermuda yet, let alone start the return to NYC.  I know people embarking yesterday were complaining about the lines, so maybe this is an effort to get more people disembarked before the next batch starts arriving.

Boarding Monday in NY did Not receive any delayed boarding notice. My time is 11 - 11:30am

We did not get this email.  Our time is between 12-12:30 so we can avoid rush hour on the trains.  (We're coming NJ Transit NE Corridor).

Currently on Venezia , no news about returning back to New York.  So far it appears everything is on scheduled

Just show up after noon. The crowds and lines will be gone and you will zip right on the ship without the hassle. We dont even bother anymore with early show times even with our status. Its more stress free and you dont have crowds when showing up after 12:00 usually.

100% agree. By that point, most folks have already shoved their way through the Lido line, too, making the entire day that much easier. I showed up at 1:15 for my last cruise, and I might just make that my new thing going forward after how quick the whole thing was.
