When sailing from Southampton we've always been on board by 11.00am

Look in your Guest Ticket Booklet for your boarding time. We are sailing on Navigator and I'm assuming Independence will have the same procedure. Boarding time depends on what deck you are on. Ignore if you have a suite or are Pinacle, Diamond or Diamond plus.

They will more than likely let you embark at anytime whatever level you may be we've never seen the times enforced.

We are on deck 2 and have booked our check in time for 12.30pm

[Bean2010]

We boarded Navigator at 11.30, there were queues which were building behind us. I would say earlier or later to avoid the queue.

[swoopy2110]

The times are not enforced but it's designed to spread the flow of people out throughout the day

[IrishComet]

Was on board at 10.45 yesterday. Windjammer not open till 11

Interested in what car service you used from London to Southampton last October as we are doing the same this year in October.  Hope you are still monitoring or getting notices!
