PaulaJK Posted November 12, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Over the decades we have sailed many lines and never has registering been as convoluted as on SS Source…….multiple emails, no ability to print ticket until 3 days ahead when you may be traveling, changing of boarding times, late boarding times ( friend has 3:40) which consumes first day, and those awful paper to-be-.assembled luggage tags. Feels more hassling than a luxury experience should ( or does on Regent and SS). Certainly far away from a welcome lunch. How do folks handle 12 noon hotel check out and the interval until 3:40? I don’t recall any cafes nearby dock area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare FlyerTalker Posted November 12, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Dodge Island, which is where the PoM is located, doesn't have any restaurants. But you are just a hop skip and jump from downtown Miami, with a number of restaurants, or a short cab ride from Miami Beach. Google Maps is your friend.

SLSD Posted November 12, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Two things you might do: 1. Ask. your hotel for a later check out time. 2. Ask Seabourn for an earlier arrival time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulaJK Posted November 12, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Thank you for the ideas. Don’t believe that asking SB is viable since they had just advanced our check in from 1 pm to 1:40. A taxi to beach restaurant for our ‘ welcome onboard’ lunch sounds relaxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Seabourn for an earlier arrival time. There are many reports that SB doesn't look at your appointed arrival time. May be it is just an attempt by SB to space out the arrivals and is not enforced when there is no queue. So, the third thing the OP might do is to check out at the usual time and go to the terminal. Most likely your party can checked in without delay. If, unfortunately, you have to wait, just take it easy. I suspect you will be onboard sooner than the appointed time in any case.

LMB01 Posted November 12, 2022 #9 Share Posted November 12, 2022 3 cruises since Covid and no one has looked at our boarding time. they reprint the boarding passes just board when you want - no issues, particularly for us in Miami 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
