What time to board

[Jilliebean28]

We will be in a suite on Ruby in April and are wondering what time we should arrive to board. We also want to try to get a chair in the Sanctuary area for the week and from what I have read it looks like you need to be among the first to board to ensure getting that seat.

Any information would really be appreciated. Thanks so much!

I think the best time to arrive at the port is 11am. You will have to wait until around 11:30. But once your group is called it will take only minutes to board. I know Princess says arrive at 1pm. but this is when the biggest crowds arrive and all the busses too. Now if your not in a hurry to board, then arrive after 2:30pm for the least amount of crowds. But you are paying for day one, so take atvantage of it.

Get there early, 11 or so in hopes of being an early boarder.

Normally the boarding process starts around noon, perhaps a bit before. Since you are in a suite, you have priority boarding and will board before the general boarding group. If you get there around 11:30 you will likely be fine to get onboard and be able to go book the sanctuary.
