LovindaBoat Posted June 9, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) My loving hubby will be dropping my best friend and I off at the port in Baltimore. And yes, I will be smiling and crying tears of joy whilst he drives off with my preschooler and 7 year old!!!!!!!!!!!! We have FTTF and since we aren't parking, what time should we arrive at port?

asalligo Posted June 9, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I know that when I arrived around 10:30, I had to wait for the port to open for parking before they would allow me in, but I watched cab after cab drop people off and walk inside. Personally, next time I cruise from Baltimore I will take a cab from somewhere nearby very early. They opened parking for regular vehicles at 11:30, but boarding did not start for us until 2pm.

PC 462 Posted June 9, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I have been in your position before. I think if you arrive between 10 and 11, you will roll onboard very quickly. You will be enjoying a Guy's burger before you know it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjmaher Posted June 9, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Sailed on the Pride May 29. We arrived at 11:30 parked; dropped off luggage; checked in and we were on the ship at 12:30. They had just finished calling the earlier groups so we just walked on. It was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevInPitt Posted June 9, 2016 #5 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Our first time on the Pride with FTTF, we arrived at 10:30a with the thrill of being "priority" and in the first group to board. Check in went relatively quickly, but then we sat until 12:30 before being able to board. The second time on the Pride with FTTF, we arrived at 1:00p. We breezed through the security lines, walked right up to the priority check in desk and then right onto the ship in under 10 minutes total (bypassing the general check-in line that had some people in it but not a huge amount). Some may see this as not taking full advantage of FTTF as rooms are pretty much ready for everyone around 1:00p. However, the benefit to us is being able to (wait for it)... not wait. I vowed never to get to the port earlier than 1:00p in the future. Sitting and waiting to be one of the first on board is a real mood killer (to us).

Why sit for hours waiting when you can walk right on the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2C Posted June 10, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 10, 2016 My loving hubby will be dropping my best friend and I off at the port in Baltimore.

Been on the Pride a lot and you can get there around 9am with being dropped off but you'll have quite a wait inside. We've generally gotten on board, with FTTF (we get it so we don't have to wait in a long customs line on the last morning) around noon to 12:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
