Harmony Boarding Time Options

[GACRUISER456]

My on-line check in will be opening shortly for a Harmony cruise out of Galveston.  What is typically the earliest time you can get for boarding?  I'm trying to coordinate my travel group and want to give some guidance on the time they should look for.  Thanks!

Technically it's your arrival time.  Most ships have been 11:00 AM and that's only if you check-in on the day it's available.

For an upcoming back-to-back cruise on Harmony the earliest check-in time available for both weeks was 11:30 am. I checked in for both weeks the minute they were available (midnight EST).

 

That is later than some other ships I've been on recently.

We've got an 11am PAT for our upcoming cruise on Harmony.

What’s PAT? Port arrival time? Did you purchase The Key or are you in a suite? I checked in my family as soon as it opened in central time and the earliest time listed us 11:30.
 

Use to be loyalty was rewarded (we’re Diamond Plus) but now it is only worth it if you decide to spend the extra which at our age (retired with ailments ) with D+ benefits it’s not worth the extra for Key nor is a suite worth it on short (7 day or less) cruises.

How do you know when you can start checking in?

Used to be 60 days out, since the restart it has been 45 days out. If it has gone back to 60 I am sure someone will chime in.

Our port arrival time is 11am to 11:30am and, no, we're not in a Suite, nor did we purchase The Key. We're Gold status. I was online at midnight to book my PAT and took the earliest time I could. YMMV

 

Edit to add that we were able to check in at 45 days prior to sail date.

Today was sign-in day for Harmony.  I forgot about it until after noon - I am in a junior suite - best time I could get was 12:00 - but it's calling it a Health Check in?  This is new and I'm not familiar with this.  Anyone want to chime in here on what that might be about.  I'll go looking elsewhere for answers, but some here may be interested.

We are 11/19 - still have not found any note about Health Check In.

[euphscott]

OK - I think I found the Health/ Wellness Check is the questionnaire, but now it's on the app and for some reason it's now scheduled in addition to regular check in.  Odd - but nothing major.
