LEMJMcC Posted May 10 #1 Share Posted May 10 Ten of us are sailing out of Seattle this summer. Four cabins total in the group, but one is a Junior Suite. Those in the balcony cabins (non-JS) have an earlier check-in date by one day than those in the JS. On embarkation day, will we all be able to check in and board together, or will those in the JS get priority boarding and just have to wait on the rest? We'd like to all have lunch together after boarding. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boarding is different from check in - everyone can check in whenever as those times are not really enforced anymore at most ports. If everyone shows up after boarding has started (sometime after 10AM), you can board together. Everyone will be on board by lunch time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, Biker's comment should be accurate in terms of actual check-in at the terminal, even if the cabins are on different bookings but all linked.

Well, actually some have a online check-in date one day earlier than those in the JS, according to the Royal Caribbean mobile application. But we all plan to travel to the terminal together, check-in, and hopefully board together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply count back 45 days and you can tell which of the two dates you see on the app should be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets123 Posted May 13 #6 Share Posted May 13 Does it really matter? If you want lunch together, just agree to meet at the WJ, or wherever you want you want to eat at a specific time. No need to fret about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerif Posted May 13 #7 Share Posted May 13 Check in and boarding are not the same thing. If you all want to board together, then the passengers in the JS can certainly board with those in the balcony cabins when they board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a time, we too saw a one day discrepancy between the web site and the app for the online check-in availability date (the app was one day earlier than the web site). Then about six weeks or so prior to the 45-day availability, the dates aligned. It sounds though, as if your group is seeing a one day discrepancy only on the app across the bookings. Weird.
