memoak Posted March 17 #3 Share Posted March 17 I just don’t understand why everyone wants to stand in line to board early. I will wander on at noon or so 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kywildcatfanone Posted March 17 #10 Share Posted March 17 I have seen people lining up at 9:30. They will typically let you inside around 10 and then boarding starts around 11 or later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think you could arrive at Port Everglades around 9:30 AM /10 AM & start the process for dropping luggage off, going through security , getting medallions, etc. Might be on board by 11 /1130am, maybe sooner?? depending on when they clear out the ship from the previous passengers. And then maybe you could go and reserve your sanctuary spot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avonlady6390 Posted March 17 #13 Share Posted March 17 I would arrive by 10:30 at port everglades dropping of luggage is quick but you will be waiting in a long line depending on how many are picking up their medallions at the port as soon as you get on take the elevator up to the sanctuary you may have a wait there as well good luck.😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! The Sanctuary is one of the highlights of our cruises.as well. We tried again on our October 2023 cruise on the Sky. Arrived at the port 9:30m, boarded as the first in the platinum group right after elites. Ran up the stairs to the Sanctuary and it was completely sold out. There were a lot of back-to-back cruisers that took ALL the spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also prefer to get on later, closer to the time our room will be ready, but that darn Sanctuary reservation thing is enticing us to get on early. We there also sold out on port days or can you even get one on a port day? We dont plan on getting off the ship so if they do have them available while we are in port, we would be interested in that. thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
