SAmome Posted June 27 #1 Share Posted June 27 3 of the 5 of us got it; all driving to the port together. Can we all get in the Express boarding line b/c majority have it? Or all go in the regular line. We plan on sticking together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillyFan33579 Posted June 28 #4 Share Posted June 28 If you are cruising out of Port Miami they are very strict about access to the Express line. I have had it the last three times I sailed on Freedom and they checked my SetSail Pass to verify it had Express on it both outside the terminal and inside the terminal. This was consistent on all three of these cruises. I don’t know if this is the same at other ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted June 28 #5 Share Posted June 28 I would think if you are in the same cabin, yes. Otherwise no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManfromFrance Posted June 28 #6 Share Posted June 28 Take the regular route and save the potential embarrassment. The time differential is minimal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted June 28 #7 Share Posted June 28 From what I've seen reported "Express" doesn't really get you moving through faster. So, I don't know if it really makes much difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but I think the two w/o it used the website to upload photo and not the app to self take photo. Same last name but multiple cabins. Not minors. If we separate it will be to "test" the difference lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted June 28 #10 Share Posted June 28 The difference from Express or general lines are minimal/minutes apart at the most. Simple to just stay together in the general line. And if you arrive later, the lines are moving in quite quickly and boarding may have already begun anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it makes any difference that I can tell if you upload a photo or not before you check in at the terminal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepeka Posted June 28 #12 Share Posted June 28 (edited) 2 hours ago, island lady said: Simple to just stay together in the general line. A week ago Sunday, boarding Harmony in Galveston, seven of our family group were in suites and the other four in balcony cabins. The suite people used the "Suite and Pinnacle" line at the terminal and the others took the regular line - the regular line folks were on board 15-20 minutes before the suite folks. The suite area was nice but otherwise, no advantage at all in using it compared to the regular check-in line. ETA: to the actual topic of this thread, two of the suite people (minor children) had the "express" indication on their set sail passes - no one else did. Very odd.

They let us in the door with the express sign to get into the building (I am pretty sure because it wasn’t that busy), but the express checkin would not let the non express group go thru their line. There was almost no difference. This was for Freedom with a 11am checkin time. We were about 15 - 20 min early and the ship was boarding.
