Embarkation time??

[jadmiral]

We  have an Embarkation time of 2:50 pm for Seaside next Saturday. I have never boarded a ship so late. How strict is MSC on boarding times? I thought with upgrading to Fantastica  Experience I would have had a "Fantastica" boarding time!

You can arrive any time.  The time on your pass is a hopeful suggestion.  We arrived about 1230 and walked right on.  EM

Ignore that they start boarding around 1145.

Yeah, get there about noon and you'll be fine

Just back from a week on Splendida in the Emirates, our flight arrived about 6 am in Dubai, we were on board around 8, straight to the breakfast buffet. Cabin ready at 11 am!

Dubai region is unique as people begin disembarking during the early hours of the morning. Embarking is permitted earlier.  The cabins are prepared earlier too.
