11PM Departure. What time board and park car?

[soar222]

Hi!  
I booked a NCL Breakaway cruise summer 2024(I know a long ways off-just excited!). The ship leaves at 11PM. It’s coming empty from Florida. I checked the port info page and it doesn’t have time it will arrive just leaving at 11. What time generally can you board and can I park in the morning and do some sight seeing? 
Thank you!

Usually boarding starts about 11 AM.  It's unusual you state the ship is coming up empty unless it picked up new crew in Florida. Even when ships change itinerary for a season, they have guests on board like agents.  Have a wonderful cruise.

Have you asked your travel agent or the cruiseline?

Your cruise papers should have this information

I booked directly through NCL. I have read sometimes when it leaves that late you can’t get in til about 5 PM. The cruise line didn’t know when it will get into port. I checked nyc port info and they have departure time but no arrival time for that day.

NCL would have the info.  But they may not know this far out what the exact schedule will be.  They usually open the lot well before boarding time, but I'm not sure about morning for an 11PM departure.  You could always park elsewhere, sightsee, then come back and park at the pier
