Staggered entry appointment times in miami

[L&J]

I went online to book the staggered entry time slot the minute it opened up (midnight EST). The earliest option was 12:30....but I used to always get 10:30am. Has it changed? If I had made final payment would it offer me an earlier slot? Thx

Could be that there are a lot of Platinums and Diamonds on the cruise, so they don’t want those earlier time slots to be overwhelmed with lots of people showing up. Hence, why they only opened up 12:30 and after for general boarding.

Similar to what the last poster said, I was told at a recent D&P party that available check-in times were going to be adjusted based on the number of priority guests. I assume they have looked at historical priority embarkation numbers for each ship, since a significant number of D&Ps don’t show-up early, unlike the majority of FTTF guests who do show-up early.

No.
