Boarding Time in Seward?

[jayisgerman]

Good Afternoon All,

 

I did a search to this several times, but could not locate any threads with the answer. Sorry if this is a duplication. :o

 

Our itinerary shows the Zaandam departing at 8:00 PM on May 24th from Seward. It shows her arriving at 6:00 AM that morning.

 

What time will we be allowed to check in/board? I realize things can always change, but I am looking for the best rough estimate.

 

Thank you all.

It has been a while since we boarded in Seward, but we were able to board between 11 and 11:30.

Boarding is always around 11:30 am, as KK says. Gives you time to wander into Seward if you like.

I think you have to be on board by 6:00 P.M. The muster drill is about 7 or 7:15 and a departure at 8:00 P. M.

 

Boarding begins about 11:30 ans goes until about 6:00 P. M.

Thank you all. That is very helpful. Seems like it is the same boarding time we have had on all our past cruises. I just was not sure of it, because of the late evening departure. It will work out perfect then. We can check in and drop our luggage - go to the Mariners lunch (if they have it) - and then walk about town for a bit. Yeah... I am so excited. Thank you all again. :)

A lot of the people who are in Anchorage pre-cruise arrive mid to late afternoon, explaining the late departure time, but as others have said the ship is ready for boarding about 11:30. Expect the ship to be pretty quiet until 4 or so.

Thank you Rafin. I am already so excited, and looking forward to my quick semester break in May even more than usual. Have a great day and thanks again for the info from all.

They may or may not have the Mariners Lunch. As has been wisely noted, it is a pretty quiet ship until 3 or 4 pm.

However, do go and look, around noon, at both levels of the MDR, just to make sure about the Lunch. See if anyone is in there setting up. I hope you get lucky!

 

The main part of Seward is a good long walk in, about 30 minutes. You can go along the waterfront (scenery!) and back through the town (quaint).

 

Hope you will come back and do a review!
