What Time To Board For 8 Pm Sailing?

[MartiniMama]

We are on the Spirit (Halloween sailing) and it is scheduled to depart Miami at 8 pm. Does anyone know how early we can board or what is the best time to get there? Thanks!!

Your cruise documents should state an arrival time, but I would arrive about noon. The ships usually have travelers arriving on planes early and have a lunch buffet waiting. Certainly, I would arrive before 4 pm.

[COLOR=Black]The reason the Spirit leaves at 8 pm is the inbound cruise does not arrive as I recall until 12 noon from it's souther route. I can't imagine being able to board until at least 3 or 4 hours later. Check with NCL subtract one hour and that should give you an idea when you can board the Spirit.[/COLOR]
