Got a 9:30 check in time

For Feb 11 celebration..I'll take.it but don't recall ever getting one that early..

We had that check in time for both our Celebration cruises. Actual boarding time for both those cruises was 10:45.

We got the earliest time for our upcoming Elation cruise (1030).  Earliest I have ever seen at Jacksonville port.  It also stated that final boarding is at 2pm with the ship leaving the pier at 330pm (also the earliest I have seen-used to be 430pm).  Showed another post to hubbs because he always gets mad when I go to the front of the line thinking I am line jumping.  The post said to go to front if you are there at your arrival time because many people are in line waiting for their appointed time (seeing as we have the earliest appointment.😁)

That's a good tip for others. We experienced that same thing once in New Orleans arriving right on time but initially getting in a long line with the early arrivers.

Yes, I have snagged 9:30 several times. For the Celebration the line will open round 9:10am and there will be some priority cruisers waiting by 8:30. This is Video I shot before 9am in Miami on the Celebration.

We had a 10am for the Elation last cruise and did the same thing, went around the line since we were there within our check-in window.

We had that once. But we didn’t select it on other Celebration cruises since we didn’t board until 10:45. Sitting around waiting is not my idea of fun

I had this happen in Jax in June!  I just happened to hear one of the port workers say to someone "oh you have 11:00?  Come through the middle."  I had 11:00 so I did the same, but I felt awkward doing it 😕

Sailing Panorama again Mar 2. Remind me how and when we start snagging check in times? We cant do online check in until 2/17 but I assume we'll want to do that first thing then and checkin times become available then?

Yes. Select your check in time first. You can take your time filling out the rest. 😎
