lonestars Posted April 14, 2006 #1 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Hello all! We're first time cruisers... taking our honeymoon on RCCL's Rhapsody of the Seas. It's departing from Galveston at 5:00 p.m. The documents they sent to us say that our boarding time is 2:00 p.m. Is this the earliest we can board? Thanks in advance for your help!

wrp96 Posted April 14, 2006 #2 Share Posted April 14, 2006 They usually start boarding around 11 or 11:30 but it depends on how quickly the previous cruise gets off. I know we arrived at 11:30 in December and basically walked straight onto the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyc78 Posted April 14, 2006 #3 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I hear 11-11:30 is standard and you don't have the line to fight with. On our last cruise we got there at 11:30 and we literally walked straight up to the counter! It was great! We'll always go early from now on. Getting there early also gives you a bit to get settled in your room, freshen up, and then roam through the ship before muster! (I hate muster!! BTW!)

mii Posted April 14, 2006 #4 Share Posted April 14, 2006 We sail Princess and Celebrity and are usually on board around 11:30a.m. depending when the previous passengers have gotten off. Now I have talked to people who said they got on at 2:00 like the cruise company said and they had lines you would not believe. Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
