what time to embark?

Taking Soltice out of Fort Lauderdale. What time should we show up at the port? Do people start lining up early? What time do they start letting you into the terminal? We'll be taking a taxi from the airport. Thanks. I'm loving these Cruise Critic boards!

A lot of folks go early; we've gone around noon both times and had absolutely no wait. Rooms are usually ready around 1pm but we like to sneak back and drop off our carry ons - we get a few dirty looks/comments from some of the room stewards as we trek down the hall but I don't feel guilty because we dash in, stick stuff in the closet and dash out = no inconvenience to the room steward trying to do his/her work.

I would never put carry ons in the room before the rooms are cleared for new passengers. My carry on has stuff I can't do without (that's why it is in the carry on) and the rooms are not locked during the turn around process. Anyone can go in and take your stuff.

 

JMHO

We always show up at around noon. Never a wait.

Housekeeping supervisors need to go through every room and they are probably unlocked until they sign off on them. I would never leave things in the room before official clearance.
