Is there priority embarkation for platinum members at port everglades?

Yes. But Elites still go first.

[davnjnet]

Thanks for clarifying that pia! could u tell me how it works?

[FawnRiver]

Our next cruise is our first as Platinum too :D

 

We're not too concerned about priority embarkation though, every other time we've cruised out of Fort Lauderdale, we've never waited more than 20 minutes to board. :)

Congrats! When you get there find a Princess employee and show them the priority boarding pass. They'll help you.

Find the priority check in line for platinum and once you got your badge head to the entry spot and show your platinum name tag. They will direct you to the priority boarding area to wait until boarding starts. At pier 2 they will direct you upstairs to sit and wait.

If you arrive very early there will be a line outside the door. Go to the front, show your priority boarding pass and they will let you in. You will be seated in a special waiting area for all the priority passengers.

On February 1st there was no differentiation as all suites, elites and platinums were seated together in order of arrival and boarded in that order as well.

The new lounge at pier 2 is only for suites and elites. Were you there or at 21 or 4?

[bhopal21]

Ruby was docked at 21.

And that's why there was no separation of church and state. :D

Thanks to all. We r departing on the emerald on April 8. We will see how it goes. Agree with fawn river, the wait is never too long. Thanks again

Agreed. Have not seen any difference between the 3 groups.:rolleyes:

[satxdiver]

Boarding the Royal tomorrow. Last time at this port they formed lines outside the joint waiting area when they first started boarding with elite on one side and platinum on the other. Elite went first and platinum followed.

I am first time platinum as well. How do you get a priority boarding pass?

You get a priority pass simply by being Platinum. As long as your CC status shows Platinum on your booking, when you print the boarding pass, it will be for priority boarding.

 

Sometimes if you have a cruise already booked when you achieve a new status, the existing cruise booking is not updated. You'll have to call the Captain's Circle to get that corrected.

The boarding pass you print will be automatically marked. You don't need yo do anything. Have a great cruise.

 

Shalom. Andy.

[Gypsy2]

Thanks, I just looked at the boarding pass and it showed perferred. Shows I was not paying attention. Thanks for your help.

[bhopal21]

And if you print it in color the header will be green which will make it more easily identifiable.

Mike, that is what we have found in our last 3 cruises. We have been suite passengers on them and Platinum on the last one. So we just cruise right on through the lines and enjoy the priority treatment. :D (called Mike also).:rolleyes:

My wife and I are first time Platinum for Alaska in September. We are traveling with other family members who are not Platinum. Can we board together?

The last cruise we took they allowed the people that we were traveling with to board with us. They weren't platinum and we were.

The answer is probably. In Alaska, the elite/platinum group doesn't tend to be as large as at some other embarkation ports, and boarding may be a bit more staggered. But that assumes you are boarding in Vancouver or Whittier. The answer could change depending upon the embarkation port, such as Seattle or SF.

 

We generally just pull along the entire party (my parents) and are not questioned, but would certainly defer to the Princess staffers at the port and head to "general" boarding if they chose to make an issue of it at all. Won't leave my mom and dad alone.....or our two kids if they are cruising with us.

We sailed out if Vancouver a few weeks ago and only would let people travelling in the same cabin with platinum. Otherwise you had to wait
