Boarding

[trishh1]

What is the earliest you can board the ship? If we get to the pier/dock around 9 am and hang around til 11 am can we board then? We dont expect to go straight to our room, just want to explore

They start boarding the ship sometime between 11 and noon no matter what time you get there - but the earlier you get there, the earlier your 'boarding group number' is (unless you are traveling in a suite or are the family of the day)

 

We got there at 11:15ish last week and got boarding group #5 - but were on the ship and having lunch around noonish

Normally the ship is open around 1130am so we tend to get there about 11 or 1115 we check in and then it is just a few minutes to wait. Cabins are not ready until 130pm so we sit by the pool make sure you bring bath stuff as sometimes it will not be there until after the boat drill. Also a FYI if you use duffle bags they have priority over suitcases as they have a hard time stacking them. This is what they told us both on RCI and DCL.
