Splendor: Earliest Check-in/Latest Check-out Times?

[DudeLX]

What is the earliest and latest times? I need to know so I can organize transportation. Thanks.

I know you can do early check-in around 9:30am outside the Queen Mary, but not sure about disembarkation which can vary. I suppose you can wait until they literally kick you off which wouldn't be too late since the next cruisers have to be let on at some point. Maybe 10? 10:30am?

[DudeLX]

I found out 1:30PM is earliest check-in, but no one at Carn knows check-out time. We have an afternoon flight book, so I'd like to stay on as long as possible otherwise will need to hang out at LAX for departure >_<

They probably meant 1:30 is the earliest main check-in and boarding, but they do have the 'early check-in' that starts about 9:30. Some people have reported on here that they've done the early check-in at 10:00 or 10:30 and then on board shortly after noon, just depends on how long the previous cruisers take to debark.

Do you know roughly how late we can remain? I need to know a timeline so I can book the shuttle to LAX. Thx

unless something happens to delay debarkation you need to be off around 10ish. The new cruisers cannot get on until the ship is clear and has been cleared so if you straggle you are delaying the next people ready for their trip :)

A couple of weeks ago, we stayed until final call (which we had debarkation #30 so was close to last anyway) and we got into our cab about 1220.

Flight is at 2PM, so I guess airport lounging it is. I'm confused about the process, do you have to give them your luggage or can you simply exit with it? I'll only have one bag so it's not an issue. Same with check-in, can I carry it on board?

According to the itineary, the ship dock at 9am...do people get off at 9am too? Doesn't the ship need to clear immigration and such?

 

Would it be safe to said..you can be in the parking lot by 11 am?

[DudeLX]

Oh 9AM is good, if I can stay on ship until 11 that would be great. For some reason I thought it said arrival is 7AM, so was worried I would be stuck at LAX for more than six hours before flight. I guess I'll book the shuttle for 11:15.

Dudelx,

 

I am asking the question as well...don't quote me on it yet.

[CRUISING71]

Okay...just check the "document" the ship dock at 9am!!!!!!!

[DudeLX]

Yea it's 9AM.

Yes, you can do self-debark, but you will have to get off when they announce that, which is the earliest, they frown upon you hanging around until the end with a big suitcase. You can embark with a small suitcase, it has to fit through a typical airport xray scanner.
