Nickles76 Posted March 29 #1 Share Posted March 29 (edited) What time are cabins usually ready on embarkation day? I was thinking of booking lunch at Giovanni’s when we embark to avoid the crowd in the Windjammer. I was hoping to drop off our bags in the room before lunch.

Cabins usually open about 1 pm, though sometimes later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseguy1016 Posted March 29 #3 Share Posted March 29 2 weeks ago on Jewel in San Juan, the cabins opened at 1:30. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havin'fun Posted March 29 #4 Share Posted March 29 I make a 12pm reservation at a specialty restaurant and take bags with us. It has never been a problem. I will be on Adventure in 2 weeks and the cabins open at 1pm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be on Adventure in 2 weeks and the cabins open at 1pm I just made our reservation for 12:30. My husband figures it’s better to carry bags to a less crowded Giovanni’s rather than an overcrowded Windjammer. The plus side is when we’re done lunch, we can go our room and just chill out for a bit until sail away. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our posted time last week was also 1:00 but the cabins did not open until about 1:40. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefightermediclasvegas Posted March 30 #9 Share Posted March 30 We were on the Adventure of the Seas for New Year’s cruise and we were able access our cabin at 11:30am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlK Posted March 30 #10 Share Posted March 30 So true, the windjammer is so crazy on embarkation. We eat a huge brunch enroute to the port, that we can get on board and relax without food being any priority. Sail away is a great time to explore the ship staying inside and away from the crowds up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have as many Florida cruises as you. Our experience is not close to yours though. I'd say it's closer to 1:30, and we did have one where they were not ready until 7:00. (Fog delayed us getting into port until closer to 5:00) One thing we do is try to carry on as little as possible, typically one bag. Makes life a lot less stressful not having to drag luggage around.

OCVTSGIRL Posted March 30 #12 Share Posted March 30 Never go to the Windjammer on that first day. Sorrento's is our go to for lunch and it is hardly ever crowded. Did the Windjammer once and it was so crazy. Never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
