Breakaway boarding time

[dpemd]

I’m sailing on the breakaway out of New Orleans today. I’m debating what time I should head to the pier. What is the earliest time you think they would allow people to board the ship?

No one boards  until the ship reaches zero, ie, all the departing passengers have left.  This normally occurs around 1115.

Be advised, the waiting area, the area with seating, is quite small.  Once the seating is full, they stop processing passengers through security and stop checkin.

We arrived at NOLA in 2022 at around 0945 and stood in the security line until after 1115.  We boarded about 1130.

We arrived at NOLA in March 2023 at around 1115.  We boarded around 1145.

FWIW. March 2023.  Rooms weren't ready until after 1600.  Baggage wasn't delivered  until around 1700.

We were in the Haven both times so we had priority.

When you checked in, what time did you select as your arrival time? That's when you should arrive.
