Arrival Time for Sky Suites Question

[seatrial]

Does Celebrity allow Sky Suites to check in earlier than the scheduled arrival time on the express pass? I know that the higher level suites can pretty much show up at any time, but I'm not certain about the lower suites. I have tried to move my arrival time, but there aren't any earlier times available in the app. Thanks for sharing your experience.

 

Thank you

Any suite can check in at any time.

I was on the Apex Feb 11 sailing, on a sky suite, had an 11am check in time got to port around 10:40am  had no problem checking in. Porters outside took our luggage and we were checked in less than 5 minutes. Had to wait on lounge having mimosa till 11 o'clock to board the ship.

Lunch in Luminae is normally 12 to 1:30 on embarkation day.

Hope you do not mind, I am going to piggy back another question. How early are the people there at the Muster Stations to check you off the list once you watch the videos etc. ?

It depends on the ship, but they're generally there as soon as they let people board.

As soon as you board the ship head to your station and they will scan your Xpress pass. You can watch the video before you get to port, make sure to check all passengers on list. Then head to your cabin and pick up your sea pass, make sure every thing is correct, especially if you have a drink package.

Staying in a Sky Suite on Beyond Mid-March out of FLL with at boarding time of 1230p. 

 

After reading this thread (and having a hotel checkout time of 11am), anybody sailed there recently to know what earlier time we can safely show up without being turned away? Thanks!

I would head over between 10:30 and 11. Both times I have sailed they had suites boarded by then. The room may not be ready but you can always dump your luggage and head off to explore the ship.

The app shows the Beyond Luminae open to 2p during embarkation. Not sure if accurate though.

Our cruises we have been on board between 11-11:30 and the muster stations did not have anyone there until 12-12:15.

You won’t be turned away unless you show up before the terminal is open.  
We have done 5 cruises from FLL and arrived at 10:50 -11:15 always got into the terminal.  Last summer we showed up at 11 and got into the terminal with what must have been every Suite guest crammed shoulder to shoulder waiting for the group upstairs to be checked in then groups of 10 (elevator capacity) were sent up.  4 out of 5 times easy and fast the other time not so much.  But Cruise was great.

We were on silhouette in January and got on around 11 am, did muster first with no issues. 

[bigbenboys]

Our routine. Show up at the pier about 11:30. Check in and go to our suite. Watch the muster drill on the tv. I'm told you can watch it on the app also. Then off to Luminae for lunch. After lunch find our muster station to check in.

Suite passengers won't ever be "turned away".

I’ll share what I learned from prior Beyond postings - that suite guests have a different terminal entry point to the ship, so look for that as you arrive. Someone mentioned they had Shoreside Retreat Concierge email a pdf ‘placard’ to place in their taxi/Uber window for easier port entry.

l’ll be on 3/12-19 myself.

For info on your specific ship, On CC, go to forums and then search on “Celebrity beyond” (substitute your ship if different) and you will find many threads of info. There are many prior ‘Live on ’ blogs that share pics and descriptions of the many amenities of the ship. Also go to YouTube and search on same and many Vlogs show walkthroughs of the ship. It will be like deja vue when you board

In my experience the window placard is for RS and above.   Even then they police officer wouldn't allow our Uber to go to the area.

 

It doesn't help for entry into the port... only to get closer to the "Special Delivery Desk" where upper suites are asked to stop by and then escorted inside.
