ArizonatoFlorida Posted December 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 17, 2023 We are sailing from Ft. Lauderdale on the Nieuw Amsterdam this Saturday. Our boarding time has been pushed back from 12:40 to 1:00 pm. (We’re 4 star so we’d hoped for an earlier boarding time. 😏). Other members in our group have been pushed back to 1:40 pm. The itinerary now shows “All Aboard” time is 2:30 pm. Seems like that’s going to be hard to get everyone on board and through the muster requirement if the sail away time is supposed to be 3:00 pm.

CruiserBruce Posted December 18, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 18, 2023 As mentioned here many times, the times are not really followed. Plus, you have priority as a 4 star. You may show up anytime, and you will be boarded in priority. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Banditswife Posted December 18, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 18, 2023 We sail on 12/19 from Ft Lauderdale/Port Everglades. Our all aboard is also 2:30. We got a 2 PM check in time. Yikes, that would be cutting it close to sail away. We plan on showing up at the terminal around 11:30 & see how it goes. We either get to board earlier or we sit & wait. I figure the ship won't leave us if we are sitting in the terminal. P Everglades is usually pretty efficient in getting people on the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naismith Posted December 18, 2023 #4 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I agree that the boarding times are not closely adhered at Ft. Lauderdale. You should be fine. But other ports (San Diego) are picky about boarding times, so I don't want anyone to think that it is fleetwide practice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We waited a few hours after our scheduled check in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our boarding time was pushed up from 11:40 to 11. We were assigned a spa verandah, if that's relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted December 18, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 18, 2023 It could be related to this week's cruise being shortened because of the weekend weather event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
