Sinjin Posted November 19, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2013 We are contacting you with important information regarding your upcoming sailing on the Liberty of the Seas on November 23, out of Fort Lauderdale. Due to recent government budget reductions, U.S. Customs and Border Protection staffing has been affected, creating a longer immigration processing time for departing guests, and the ship has experienced a later clearance time for arriving guests. Therefore, please do not arrive at the cruise terminal prior to 12:45 p.m. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation, and look forward to welcoming you onboard.

Clarea Posted November 19, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 19, 2013 This message has been sent for months now, since the US government sequestration. Most people report no delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinjin Posted November 19, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Thanks for the information. No delay, means I can arrive earlier and get on in time to feed our children lunch? What time have then been allowing passengers to board? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the message is meant to be "don't arrive early and get in the way, we have 5K passengers departing and have to clean up their mess while they limp off the ship!"
