Can you check in / board earlier than online check in appt?

I completed my online check in yesterday for our cruise out of Baltimore that is 20 days away and the only embarkation time left available was 230-300. If we arrive earlier will we be able to check in earlier or will we have to wait until 230? Thanks for your help!

In the US they have not been enforcing the check in times.

I'm not familiar with RCI policy, but if you are sailing on the Pride I think it depends. I've heard that they do enforce check-in times early, but not as much once boarding has begun. If you arrive closer to 10 or 11 you probably won't be allowed in, but likely no issue if you arrive after 12. If you have FTTF, Platinum, Diamond, or Wedding Party you are given priority boarding also and your check-in time won't matter.

What cruise line are you taking? Carnival does enforce appointment times.

Rccl does not enforce it
