LA Bliss - assigned arrival times question

[lt0826]

We did our check-in process late for our 10/27 cruise because we were waiting on renewed passport. Our assigned port arrival time is later than we would like to arrive. It seems in most ports no one is paying attention to the assigned arrival time. Is that true out of LA as well? If we arrive at 10:00 will they tell us to wait or will they let us start checking in to get assigned to a boarding group?

It appears from our experience, the arrival time is pretty much to give the cruise line an idea of when people will be arriving. It isn't written in stone and I have seen them tell anyone to go sit down until the correct time.

Arrive when you want.  10:00 is fine.

 

For others, do your online check in saying you have a birth certificate.  Later, go back and change to a passport when you have a number.

Our boarding time is 1:30 for the Bliss on Saturday.  We will be arriving around 11 because if we wait much later to leave traffic will suck. I've never had an issue arriving early on any cruise line.
