So what does Boarding Group B mean?

[Suskies]

We are on the 3/22 CB Panama Canal cruise, leaving from Fort Lauderdale. We've been on Princess several times, but this is our first cruise in 3 years and things are different!!!

 

I have done all our pre-board stuff and the Medallion app says we are in Boarding Group B, Green Lane.

 

1. When does Boarding Group B start boarding? 

 

2. We like to get on the ship as early as we can. What's the earliest we should arrive at the pier? In the past (pre-Medallion app) boarding often started ahead of the announced times.

 

3. We are traveling with another couple who are in Boarding Group C. Our reservations are linked. Will they be able to board with us?

 

Thank you all!!!

It really doesn't mean that much any more. Experiences have been it's not checked and it's more of a gentle way Princess tries to even out the crowds during boarding.

It means nothing. Just be in the green lane and you are fine. Show up and they will direct you anyway. Disabled, Elite and Platinum will board first; and Suite passengers too, I think

Where do you even see your boarding group or how to do you go about selecting a time?   This is my first Princess cruise and I'm finding it a little confusing.  I'm in the "green lane" it says and I have luggage tags, but how do I find out when to attend the port?

In the App but it’s only a “suggestion” now

It means absolutely nothing we have cruised 4 times in the last year and never worried about groups and was never asked
