When to head to the Princess Enchantment? March 7th

[shanna135]

In Ft Lauderdal at the 4 Point Sheraton.  Not sure at all when to go to the ship.  Thinking of taking an Uber or 15 dollars a person using hotel shuttle.  Thanks again for your help

No such ship. Enchanted Princess? We use Uber. Much cheaper than the hotel shuttle for a couple and more convenient. Look on your boarding pass on the app for the check-in window. You can expect longer lines early.

An Uber or taxi should cost you about $15 total assuming you are at the 4 Points Sheraton on Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale (not the Dania Beach location) not $15 per person.

Thanks Uber was the plan.  Ship doesn't start boarding until 12 pm.  When to show up at the terminal?  Doing nothing at the hotel and wondered when to get to the terminal.  Do we get there at 11 ?

You can arrive to board Enchanted Princess anytime around 10:30 or later.  Are you green lane or blue lane on the app?  Did you receive the app in the mail?

Delayed boarding today because of Coast Guard inspection. Check-in doesn't begin until noon.

The terminal building is scheduled to open at 12:00 today due to a Coast Guard inspection

We're greenlane.  Do you have to stand outside in the rain if you get there early? First cruise and I'm a nervous micro manager.

Thanks

After dropping off luggage a short t walk will be uncovered the line to get into the building is covered with an overhang I suppose if it were raining really bad you might get wet suggest wind breaker jacket with hood.  Hopefully it will be nice and sunny for your embark.😊

Having once had a delayed boarding - on the Enchanted Princess no less - that we were warned about a few hours early (due to a medical emergency the day previously that pushed back the arrival schedule), I will warn you that it will most likely be absolute chaos at noon.  In our case, we arrived 45 minutes after the new boarding time and the lines were still long and confused with many annoyed passengers.  Some people didn't get the message, some didn't believe it, and others couldn't get or didn't ask for a late checkout from their hotels.  Pack your patience and have a great cruise!

Oh, I knew very well what you meant, but couldn't resist a friendly poke.

@shanna135

since you’ve probably already made your way to the ship, do let us know how it all went and or do a live from. I enjoy reading the live from posts.

I have a co worker on this cruise and she was in room at 12:15.  

Interested in booking this ship so looking for reviews.

Yes, it could certainly cause a mix-up if the real Enchantment was in the port.

Enchanted Princess is the name of your ship.
