gavvy Posted June 26, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 26, 2023 The sip will be mid route from Barcelona so there is no need to have to wait for the ship to get the all clear before you can board, I got there an hour before my time and walked straight on, there were no lines at all.

MeHeartCruising Posted June 26, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Not one person ever looked at my scheduled arrival time in May. Arrive when you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roybthered Posted June 29, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) Sailed from Rome last year and boarding times not even checked, in fact don't think I have ever had a check in time looked at? Edited June 29, 2023 by Roybthered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasekeye Posted June 29, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 29, 2023 We sailed from “Rome” in October. With hotel check out time & allowing too much time to walk to the port shuttle area in Civitecchia, we were over an an hour early at check in. We apologized & asked if we could just sit and wait, they assured us, it was fine to continue to board. We were eating at the buffet an hour before we were supposed to be checking in!

artvlay Posted July 1, 2023 #15 Share Posted July 1, 2023 We have a question. Staying at a place next to the McDonald's. It shows that the Royal Caribbean bus leaves from a block away. Is this easily walkable with luggage? Also, can you bring water or other nonalcoholic beverages on in Civitavechia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walk past McDonalds up the slight incline away from sea for about 100 metres and turn left. Go down this road for about six or seven minutes walkable even with luggage and you will come to where the bus leaves from there will also be numerous taxis there you really can’t miss it. You will be able to carry water etc onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre87USA Posted July 2, 2023 Author #18 Share Posted July 2, 2023 So, true. Nobody checked anything, got to the port at 10:30am, checkin done immediately, they. The ship was cleared for boarding 10:45, we didnt manage to even finish our drink in the terminal and our boarding group (41) was called. Were sipping drinks onboard at 11am. Check in was seamless and very efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
