elcuchio24 Posted November 4, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Anyone with experience with Priority Access know if your room is also ready earlier or just earlier to board? We're headed out of Manhattan next week, have a boarding window of 9-9:30am. I'm certainly not expecting the room to be ready at that time, but wondering if they ready any sooner than normal. Thanks!

Rare Laszlo Posted November 4, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) 9:00-9:30 is not your boarding window. That is most likely your Arrival Time. Boarding usually begins around 11:00am for Haven, Special Needs.... 11:30am ish for everyone else. Cabins are ready around 1-2pm, an announcement will be made when they are ready After going thru security and checking in, getting your cabin card you can get a boarding pass. The lower the number the earlier the boarding Edited November 4, 2022 by Laszlo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smadler Posted November 4, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Hi all, I am going on my first cruise (finally) once my cruise was unfortunately cancelled last minute this past January. What’s the deal with dining availability when they are boarding? Would we have access to all restaurants or just the buffet, or neither. we’ll be going on the sky 11/25 for reference. TIA!

Your time to arrive at the terminal is 9:00. You will be in the same steerage line for security (only Haven guests have a special lane on the left). Look for PRIORITY lines at check in. Priority boarding will start between 11:15 to 11:30. Rooms will be ready around 1:30. Edited November 4, 2022 by BirdTravels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't special needs folks also entitled to join that "special" lane?

I'm sure somebody will post an exhaustive list, but they typically include the Local (or O'shehans), one of the main dining venues and the buffet.

Probably varies by port. The last time I remember was Seattle where Haven and special needs were all shuffled to the same special line on the right.

Before they start calling numbers, they call for (I believe) Platinum and higher. As stated by others, Haven and special needs are boarded first but they're kept in a segregated area depending on port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
