D1324tt Posted September 7, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 7, 2023 When embarking in Seattle with medallion in-hand and staying in suite, which line should we get in? Are they clearly marked? Would hate to wait in a long line when not necessary. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted September 7, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2023 When we boarded in Seattle in June it didn’t matter. Just a big mess. No Elite/Suite check in. Just a mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Officially, as of August, if you have your Medallion, then you are Green lane, everybody else is Blue lane, except special needs, which is Grey? Length of lines can vary depending on port and sailing and if majority of passengers decide to arrive at the same time. I embarked Emerald on August 5 in San Pedro when this new policy was implemented, there was no elite, suites priority, so unless you had medallion, wait was at least 40 minutes. I read passengers boarding on August 21 had easy, fast embarkation, but not sure if because Hillary just blew thru LA and our ship came back 1 day early and over 700 passengers debarked early on Sunday, instead of Monday.

dweeb Posted September 7, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) There were three (3) lines In Seattle for check in. A Green lane/line, a Blue lane/line, and a grey lane/line. This was the way it was last week. Edited September 7, 2023 by dweeb spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In June there very few elites and we were all lumped in with the blue cards Edited September 7, 2023 by memoak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However after you are checked in, and before boarding, there is a space set aside for elites / suites to sit and wait for boarding to start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voljeep Posted September 7, 2023 #10 Share Posted September 7, 2023 check in (no priority) and boarding (status) seem to be 2 entirely different things, before boarding actually starts and lines are no longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted September 7, 2023 #11 Share Posted September 7, 2023 1 hour ago, memoak said: When we were there there were hundreds of people in one line took forever Then someone in charge needs to take action and balance the lines out. Why can't a Green Lane agent handle Blue Lane guests until more Green Lane guests arrive? (Q not directed at you). Princess is so stupid sometimes. IDK how that terminal is laid out and where agents locate, but if I think of an airport check-in, the agent or two handling priority check-ins takes the next person in the long line if no priority guest is present waiting. They are not just standing around doing nothing. If Green Lane agents aren't handling more guests, then Princess has really screwed the pooch on this new change and they better wake up and fix it.

An agent escorted us to the elite/suite waiting area and when boarding opened an agent escorted us to the front of the line. First on board. Extremely well organized and smoothly done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
