Treacher1 Posted July 19, 2005 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2005 WE are sailing out of Phila. this Sunday - sailing time said 5, boarding time on documents is 2. I hope we can board much earlier as we usually do??? If anyone boards in Philly today and is going online from ship - please let us know the time you were able to board. It is usually much earlier than time stated on documents, but never boarded in Phila. before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougp26364 Posted July 19, 2005 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I always plan on getting to the pier around 11:00 AM and we generally don't have much of a wait to board the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzindad Posted July 19, 2005 #5 Share Posted July 19, 2005 We were on the July 11 cruise from Cape Liberty. Sail time was listed as 5PM. We boarded around 12:30, and there were already people onbaord. You were not allowed access to cabins until 1PM, but lunch was being served in the Windjammer.

steve20832 Posted July 19, 2005 #6 Share Posted July 19, 2005 The earlier you go, the shorter the line to get on the ship. I agree with everyone else here. Board before noon for the shortest lines and you can get free lunch on the ship. (After all you are paying alot of money for the cruise - take advantage of the free lunch) There really isnt anything open but you can walk around the ship to get familar with it while waiting for it to leave port.

Merion_Mom Posted July 20, 2005 #12 Share Posted July 20, 2005 sue: You *are* taking a digital camera, aren't you? You KNOW that we demand INSTANT gratification with a full, detailed, complete-with-pictures report as soon as you get back! ;) Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sueinphilly Posted July 20, 2005 #13 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I got a disposable digital camera from CVS (it lets you preview and delete pics) and I PROMISE to go to get the pictures put onto disc as soon as I get back. Other than that I don't own a digital camera (or a cell phone). I know, I'm the last person on earth not to have these things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted July 20, 2005 #14 Share Posted July 20, 2005 No, my brother doesn't own a cell phone either, and it was MURDER trying to pick him up at the airport, since the police snap at your heels if you try to stop to look for an arriving passenger.

bluehorizonlover123 Posted July 22, 2005 #15 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I own a cell phone but I dont own a digital camera. What's wrong with film pictures. They are so much easier to put in the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted July 22, 2005 #16 Share Posted July 22, 2005 We have the best of both worlds - and a generational divide. Both of my kids own digital cameras, and I still use a 35mm camera that MY FATHER gave me _____ years ago. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
