ChiMimi69 Posted March 9, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I haven't cruised Royal in a few years so, I've seen some changes (no surprise). Once thing new to me is that during the on-line check-in process I was given a choice of time for embarkation and the earliest was 1:00p. The problem is that we will actually be in Ft. Lauderdale for a few days pre-cruise. So, my question is do I have to stick to the time I picked or can I arrive a couple of hours earlier? I have to check out of my hotel by 11:00 so, I was hoping to be in in the check-in line by 11:30 not 1:00p. Can I call Royal and have that changed? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRUISEFAN0001 Posted March 9, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 9, 2017 When you print out your Seapass and cruse documents...the planned on-boarding time is listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted March 10, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Just make sure you're on by 3:00pm as they sail at 4:30pm. I'm getting ready to sail on her next week and the email I received said boarding time 12:30pm-3:00pm. However I believe you can board anytime after 10:30am-11:00am. I'm hoping to be there around 11:00am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon B Posted March 15, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Thank you for this question, I'll be on Harmony on May 20th and will be first time as a Diamond and will be fortunate to have a full suite...I have never boarded early in the past, but wanted to give it a try this trip ...Is there an early boarding process for Suite passengers? if so what time should we arrive at the port if we want to be one of the first to board? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
