mickeyny31 Posted March 17, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Has anyone ever boarded a RCCL ship before noon? I like to get there as early as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristieNJ Posted March 17, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 17, 2008 We usually show up around 11:00-11:30. They check us right in and we're usually onboard BY noon. Love it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted March 17, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 17, 2008 We are always there before noon. Last time on Sovereign we were they by 11:15, got checked in in about 5 minutes, then waited about 10 minutes for the doors to open. We were the 2nd couple on the ship. Heading to Miami for the Liberty in 3 weeks and we plan to be at the terminal by 11. Since we are now Diamond, if we have to wait a little bit in the priority larea before we board, that is no an issue. Just want to get on as early as possible. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 17, 2008 #4 Share Posted March 17, 2008 We like to get there early, too--after all, that's day 1 of the cruise (even tho you aren't actually "cruising" til much later!) and you've paid to use the ship's facilities.... I like to get my money's worth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkeeper Posted March 17, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Last year on Jewel Baltic cruise documents said boarding from 2.00pm. We arrived at noon as we live near by and was eating in Windjammer by 12.15pm. Clock at entrance to arrival hall said check in starting at 11.00am. We missed an hour of our vacation!

Gonzo70 Posted March 17, 2008 #6 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I have never boarded after noon! I usually arrive between 10:30am and 11:00am to the pier and have never had to wait long to start boarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oville Posted March 17, 2008 #9 Share Posted March 17, 2008 We usually board around noon, but a word of caution on the Liberty. Last fall we were called for disembarkment at 11:30 and there we more colors to come after that. Perhaps it was a customs fluke, but there were a ton of people waiting to get on when we left.

Plibster Posted March 17, 2008 #10 Share Posted March 17, 2008 What do you do when you get on the ship? Are the pools ready? How about the flowrider? I know the kids will want to try the rock wall early on. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eileen226 Posted March 17, 2008 #11 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Pools are ready, bars are open, I believe the arcade is open. Rock Wall and Flow Rider are not open. Windjammer is open. Spa and gym are open for tour and appointments. Cabins open at 1. You can eat, get soda cards, sign kids up for adventure ocean and to get their wristbands for emergencies, get wine and dine package, Check out dining arrangements, Maitre D is usually in dining room at 1:30 (I may be wrong on time) so you can try to switch tables if you want. But nothing beats just sitting down w/ a beverage and the one(s) you love and giving a big AHHHH, WE are ON Vacation!!!!! Which is what I plan on doing, this Sunday on the Mariner! Happy Sailing!

tmoret Posted March 17, 2008 #12 Share Posted March 17, 2008 The wife and I find that it is great to get there about 11am. We like to get on board and walk around to check out where everything is and it is a great time to take photos..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
