Hi there....we are thinking about about a May cruise with Azamara.  I have been through several threads for newbies but cannot find any inforamtion on this and would appreciate your help.  The cruise we are looking at says boarding time is between 1:30pm and 3:30pm.  We cruise often with Princess and note that boarding time is often much ealier than what what is officially stated.  What is the normal boarding process at the pier?

thanking you in advance

Since COVID, boarding is usually from 2pm. When you check-in on your account on the Azamara website you can choose a time.

How many days prior to sailing does the online check-in open ? Will save us checking each day. Thanks.

It was about 40 days out for my cruise, but can be less than 30

11 post covid Azamara cruises and earliest boarding time for each has been 2pm (and latest time off ship is 9am)

Boarding process varies by port. My last in December in Miami was given a group number when arrived then through security then checkin desk then up to waiting area where first group was called for boarding at 2pm (they checked your group ticket before being allowed to board). Pireaus was given a group number and sat in waiting area before that group was called to go check in then through security and onto ship. Ravenna no group number given but was positioned in a seating area row to wait, then gathered a row at a time to go check in then into another waiting area before getting called for boarding.

Once boarded you get taken to your muster station for safety briefing then free to go about the ship.

We're a family group of 22 embarking Pireaus next month. Any body know if we'll be allowed to board as a group, or only according to our chosen check-in time?

We arrived in Cape Town with our friends as a group of six with two different check-in times. No asked to see what those times were. We were all given the same number, and boarded together.

We had a similar experience both in Athens in October and a few days ago in Rio. Once we got to the port no-one asked us about our embarkation time, just gave us a group number based on how many were ahead of us.

Our only check in experience with Azamara was our Islands of the Mediterranean back in

October 2022. 
We DID NOT do online check-in at all. We departed from Civitavecchia, and arrived ship side at about 2PM. We were on the ship by 2:30 PM, did the small group muster drill, and were in our cabin by 2:45 PM. 
Our luggage arrived 15 minutes later. 
Overall, an efficient and easy experience. Hope it works as well on our upcoming April cruise.

Is the self service restaurant open for the late arrivals or is is wise to snack before arrival?

Seems there is always something somewhere to eat.

If embarkation is delayed then your options may be limited. We didn’t get onboard in Rio until 4:30. Windows was closed and the Patio was not open. There were some sandwiches & cake in Mosaic coffee bar and some Tapas in the living room
