It depends on the embarkation port but at FLL, I believe they recommend you check in after 1PM. Many people arrive early so there is usually a crowd waiting for check-in to open and embarkation to start which is usually between 11:30AM and Noon. If you don't HAVE to be onboard among the first, wait a little while and get there between 1 - 2PM. You'll probably be able to check in with little or no line and pretty much just walk onboard.
