What time would you suggest for embarkation on CB?

[Heatherco]

Hello Everyone: We are sailing on the Caribbean Princess on May 13th and I was just wondering what time people would suggest arriving to embark? We have always gone around 11 am, but I was thinking maybe this time we would hang out at our hotel a little longer (Embassy Suites) and then head over around 2. Do you think there would be less lines? Just curious.

 

Thanks so much!

We did check-in at about 12:30pm in December. Lines were still a little long, but we wanted on for lunch and a quick tour. I heard several Princess staff members doing the check-in say that arriving after 2PM (as recommended) is an easier check-in due to shorter lines. But we were anxious, so we waited in the lines. Not too bad. But after 2PM would probably result in a more relaxed check-in. Enjoy your cruise!

We were on the 1-21 CB sailing and we we're boarding by Noon (waitied in waiting area for a while). Our relatives traveling with us arrived at 12:30 and didn't wait and we're able to board with no lines.

We were at the pier by 11 am and boarding started at about 11:45. We were in our cabins by noon. Don't wait till later, you miss time on the ship having fun.
