Tikka234 Posted June 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 20, 2017 On most posts here most say t h ere boarding times are around 3/3.30pm We're sailing on Arcadia end July hoping our time will come soon, but as were staying at the Holiday inn night before was hoping for an earlier time we have balcony room on D Deck. How many get these times? Do we h a v e a chance of being any earlier? I have had luggage labels sent to us, just waiting for boarding times Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many get these times? Do we h a v e a chance of being any earlier? I have had luggage labels sent to us, just waiting for boarding times Thanks If you trawl through the "Embarkation times - recent experiences" thread on this page, a kind CCer provided details of when embarkation times are "supposed" to be. They are organised by deck. According this we should expect to embark Aurora for our cruise in August at around 2.40 pm. Of course there always seem to be variations on this - people who turn up early and get straight on, people who turn up at the requested time and have to wait. I think the same thread has lots of useful suggestions about what to do if you are staying in Southampton overnight and have to vacate your hotel (shopping, spot of lunch, cruise lounges at other hotels, drop off luggage, go, then come back at allocated time, etc.). It's a lot to read through, but worth it! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrierjohn Posted June 20, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I think one of the reasons there seem to be more times at 3:00-3:30 especially on the larger ships, is that P&O plan most coach arrivals between 2:00-2:30 and because of the numbers coming by coach there are only a few standard boarding times after 1:30 and before 2:45.

cruisefan2012 Posted June 20, 2017 #11 Share Posted June 20, 2017 According to that link that Chris11256 posted I should be on board earlier then expected next year for my Aurora cruise as I`ve got an A deck cabin. I will be arriving from London to Southampton Central just before 12pm so thats great And if I book it (which I probably will ) I should be on board Britannia in my L Deck cabin at 13:30 !!

Ship Sent from my iPhone using Forums If you're using the coach service booked through/by P&O your coach arrival time will always override the arrival time on your e-ticket. We had an arrival time of 13:30 as we were on E deck but the coach arrived at 13:45 and we were in our cabin by 14:30. :) Dan Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise Puss Posted June 21, 2017 #15 Share Posted June 21, 2017 An addendum to all this this is that all Peninsular Club members who are Caribbean Tier and above can board at 1pm regardless of their given boarding time, and all Ligurian Tier members and Suite guests automatically get given 12:30pm as their boarding time.

Rare P&O SUE Posted June 22, 2017 #17 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I'm on E deck on Britannia soon, I've got a 2.30 time which I'm happy with after 3.30 last cruise. I'll aim to be there about an hour early and hope we get on a bit early. No worries, I'll have my kindle and will people watch while I wait [emoji51] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
