What time can you board the ship?

All my pre cruise documentation said 2pm for a 4.30pm sail. I thought was late and when we got to the port it said from 12pm.

In Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, 4 days ago. The website said it opened at 2 pm. We arrived at 1 pm and there was already a long line.  we waited under the sun for about 20 min.    We were in a suite and there was NO priority line, it was first-come first-served.   Everybody was processed the same.   Took about 45 min.   All the chefs tables were booked solid and prime-time specialty restaurants slots were gone.   Only 830 pm specialty restaurant time. 
 

Suggestion: just show up at 12 noon regardless of priority or cabin type .  They let anybody in.    Good luck !

Anarchy!

 

BTW what do you regard as prime-time specialty restaurants slots?

On the cruise we’ve just finished we found that the speciality restaurants didn’t stick strictly to the booked times. We booked 8pm as our preference is to eat at about 7:30. Every time we went up at round about 7:30 and were seated straight away
