Boarding Time?

[cruisecle]

We are sailing on the Royal out of Southampton on May 1. Will be staying in London a couple days prior to the cruise. Trying to figure out what time we should plan on getting to Southampton for boarding the ship.

I think they are going to do staggered boarding based on deck, unless you have priority embarkation.

Read somewhere, not sure where, they are going to do staggered boarding based on deck, unless you have priority embarkation. Does anyone know if that is true.

Based upon the last few years of Princess cruises I have taken, it is common for Princess to send emails specifying staggered boarding times based on the deck that a passenger's cabin is located. Many people have posted and it is also my experience that this is not enforced. If you are in a rush to board, you can arrive at the terminal by noon and get in line to board.
