Iluvjo Posted November 12, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I know what the RCCL papers and web site say. I was just looking for stories of what was the earliest time you actually boarded. A couple of cruises back we were able to board at 11:00, at windjammer a few minutes later starting a wonderful trip. We will be sailing out of Baltimore,MD on EOS.

WillWorkForCruise121 Posted November 12, 2012 #2 Share Posted November 12, 2012 The cruises we've been on we were typically able to board around 11:00am. Any earlier than that and you'll be likely waiting around a bit before they let you board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarkation for Enchantment should begin around 11:30. It all depends on how quickly and flawlessly debarkation went from the previous cruise. Our experience on Enchantment has been getting to the port at 11 and being on the ship by 11:45 at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LICRUISEAHOLICS Posted November 12, 2012 #4 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I'd say 11:00 is the earliest. Before that you may find yourself hanging around the terminal. We generally board at noon when we sail RCCL. Still have plenty of time to wander around before the crowds come. I'm with you, I want to begin my cruise vacation ASAP!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slh182 Posted November 12, 2012 #6 Share Posted November 12, 2012 We were at the port by 11am and had no problem getting on the ship. I was surprised at how quickly we got on it. I thought it would be busy, but it was empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwolfe Posted November 12, 2012 #7 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I usually aim for 10:30am myself. Every so often that means a little bit of a wait, but most of the time, it's a short wait. That first hour or so when nobody else is on board yet is a great time to wipe out any reservations for specialty restaurants and such. No lines!

JeffKoz Posted November 12, 2012 #8 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I aim for arriving at the port 1030 - 1100. The worse case is maybe a small wait in the terminal but I would rather wait there looking at the ship than being somewhere else. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvjo Posted November 12, 2012 Author #9 Share Posted November 12, 2012 That is great info folks!! Thank you so much. Anyone know what time you can park at the cruise terminal? Baltimore,MD that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted November 12, 2012 #10 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I have sailed out of Baltimore 4 times. It is a very easy port to embark from. Very easy to get to, a very efficient staff [and no escalators or stairs], and parking is close. I have been in the parking lot by 10:30 --so it must be open.:p We have been able to get on by 11ish. The whole process gets very slow around 12:30pm. Go before or after that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
