We have 10:30 am booked. It will tell ask you to pick arrival time when you check in.

Thanks.  I got an 11am, wasn't sure how early they started boarding.

Many times the people with the 10:30 boarding don't start boarding until closer to 11am.

Agreed and sometimes even later if the ship isn’t cleared.

Don’t confuse your check-In time with your boarding time. Boarding times on cruises I have been on this year have started as early as 11 AM and as late as 12 PM. So if you have an earlier check-in time, you may sit in the terminal for awhile. I used to always pick the earliest check-in time, but now I always select 11:30 AM. I have been on 6 RCI cruises since July and I have basically not stopped moving from the time I park my car until I am on the ship.

10:30am is the earliest. I had an 11am time last week and was through security and on the ship in 9 minutes. Make sure to book all your shows and dining (if you have a dining package) immediately when you get on. Some of the restaurants (wonderland and hibachi) were fully booked before 11:30, and others had minimal time slots left.
