Probably at this stage.  They've been trying to enforce arrival times so that the terminal area doesn't turn into a circus.

 

If you show up "earlier" (not super early) and there is no crowd then they will possibly let you through in the "wrong time" queue.

At Port Canaveral recently they had different lines for the check in times. They were only letting those who were arriving at their correct time into the terminal. Others were being held outside .

Stick with your later boarding time. You wont have the fuss and mess of the crowds and will breeze right on the ship. We always select boarding times after 1 pm now since it is less hassle.

To add to everyone elses reply, you choose an arrival time for the port, not a boarding time.Nobody picks their boarding time. Your chosen arrival time is the time you need to plan to arrive at the terminal to begin the check-in process and boarding will begin shortly afterward.

We are currently on celebration - 2 in our party were right on time, 2 were about an hour early, all of us were let in at the same time but I think it's because we are all platinum.  They had a separate line for diamon/platinum/suites. But even so, the early/late arrival line was super short.
