Question about Buenos Aires late check-in on embarkation day

Greeting,

 

Planning the trip for mom and dad's Jan 03 S. America cruise aboard Emerald Princess. First day of the cruise is Jan 03, the ship will stay over night in Buenos Aires that evening and sail at 6pm on Jan 04. On Princess confirmation it says guests need to check-in by 4pm.

 

Mom and dad like to visit Iguazu Falls pre-cruise, the logistic I work out is they will fly from AEP (Bueno Aires domestic airport) to IGR on Jan 01 around noon and fly back to AEP on Jan 03 afternoon, flight scheduled arrival time is 3:40pm, online research show it's normal these flights delay 30+ mins. Regardless, there's no way my parents' can make the 4pm check-in deadline even if this flight arrive on time. There is an earlier flight depart IGR at 8:20am and arrive AEP at 10:15am. Mom and Dad are in their mid 70's, fairly good physical condition but 8:20am flight means they need to get up around 5am, I am thinking it would be too tiresome for them.

 

I called Princess inquire about late check-in, the lady told me it is possible for guests to check-in after 4pm but for guests arrive late it's possible they won't be able to leave the ship on Jan 04, she said guest need to be cleared by Argentina immigration officers after check-in before they leave the ship on Jan 04, and she has no information what time will Argentina immigration officers will return the next day, it's totally up to the immigration officers.

 

Does anyone here has late-check in experience in Buenos Aires? Any information is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
