Embarkation times

[RoupMom]

So, I was looking at our cruise docs for mid-August and noticed that they said embarkation at 1 PM. I was thinking it was always 11:30. Does anyone know? We will be coming a short distance from east of Seattle, so it makes a difference on our transportation/eating plans.

Thanks in advance.

When they tell you 1PM for embarkation is just a recommendation to miss all the crowds. You can get to the port at 11:30 and board the ship as soon after that time.

Check-ins will start around 11:00 and boarding will start around 11:30 IF the previous cruise disembarked without any delays.

IF all has gone well and the previous passengers have gotten off the ship -- the embarkation process will begin around 11 PM.

 

We got to the pier 91 shortly after 11 -- went through security -- checked in.

 

By 11:40 we were on the ship.

 

One new item for HAL -- once you are on the ship -- you can go directly to your cabin to drop off your carry-ons and then go to lunch.
