nschille04 Posted April 18, 2011 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hello, We'll be headed to Port Canaveral this coming Sunday to sail on the FOS. We are not experience cruising with RCI and are wondering when we should arrive at the port. Our documents say 1pm, but it seems like everyone on here seems to get there much earlier. We are young and don't really mind waiting in line...so comfort really isn't an issue there. Let me know what you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know what you think Oh definately go early......we go about 10:00am and are usually "onboard" around 11:30. I want to start my vacation as soon as possible and I would much rather wait at the terminal for a little while than sit around a hotel!!!! We have sailed on the Freedom of the Seas twice now and we LOVE that ship!!!! Happy Sailing!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attapooch Posted April 18, 2011 #3 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Since the first day counts as an actual cruising day, we get there as early as possible to wring out every last bit of time on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipflopfun Posted April 18, 2011 #4 Share Posted April 18, 2011 We sailed Freedom On April 3, 2011. We were much happier waitng in line at the port rather than at the hotel, so we got a cab and were at the port by 9:30. SO many people were waiting around the hotel for the free shuttle, I was frustrated for them !!!! There were already some people in line, and they had hoped to start the embarkation process by about 10am. But apparently there was one pax who was reluctant to get off the ship from the previous sail. So it was after 10:30 before they opened the doors. We were on the ship by 11:30. Worth the wait in line !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timnreba Posted April 18, 2011 #5 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Get there between 10:30-11:00. Will be perfect timing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nschille04 Posted April 18, 2011 Author #6 Share Posted April 18, 2011 So, sounds like we should aim for 9:30am. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-1 Posted April 18, 2011 #7 Share Posted April 18, 2011 You can arrive at 0930; u will have to wait in the terminal. The last guests won't be getting off until 10am. So they won't start processing the new guests until after all the guests are off. Figure between 11am for you to start processing to board the ship.

reallyitsmema Posted April 18, 2011 #8 Share Posted April 18, 2011 So, sounds like we should aim for 9:30am. Thanks!! You will be waiting outside in line if you get there that early. We usually get there between 10:30 and 11 and are on the ship by 11:30 at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll definitely be getting there before 1pm. Our hotel shuttle will be picking us up to go to the port @ 10am, so we should be @ the Terminal by 10:15-10:30. I'm with GTO~better to start your vacation as soon as possible than to sit around the hotel waiting. btw-are you signed up for the M&M??? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nschille04 Posted April 19, 2011 Author #12 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'm so excited! All I wanna do is go go go!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdylady Posted April 19, 2011 #13 Share Posted April 19, 2011 So, sounds like we should aim for 9:30am. Thanks!! We were on the 4/3 sailing and got there at 10:30 and still had to wait outside for a little while. I wouldn't get there at 9:30. Probably no earlier than 10. Erika (note- don't forget the cabins are not available till 1pm so whatever you bring on board, you will have to carry around with you till then.)
