LEMJMcC Posted April 15 #1 Share Posted April 15 The wife asked me what the earliest expected boarding time might be for our 7-night Alaskan cruise coming up this summer. So, for those who've done this or similar cruise out of Seattle, what's the earliest we could expect to board? We're in a Junior Suite if that matters. I'm planning for us to be dropped off at the cruise terminal about 10:00 AM. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted April 15 #2 Share Posted April 15 Have you sailed with them before...expect their boarding procedures to be the same, or very similar in every port they depart from. I would think you could be easy on board by noon. By the way, Seattle is discussed on the West Coast Departures, here: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/315-west-coast-departures/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted April 15 #3 Share Posted April 15 I've cruised Quantum and Ovation 4 times out of Seattle in the past couple years. 10-10:30 is about when boarding begins. Look at your reservation. It'll tell you on what day your online check-in opens. To snag an early boarding time, you need to jump on it right away when it opens. I'm cruising Quantum again in a few weeks. I wasn't able to get online until the afternoon of the day mine opened and the earliest I could snag was 11. I'm struggling to remember if JSs were included in priority check-in. Either way, I think the app SeaPass says "suite", so it can't hurt to try. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted April 16 #4 Share Posted April 16 Terminal doors will open around 10 AM, sometimes a bit sooner. As @Aquahound said, boarding can begin as early as 10:30 -10:45 AM. Be sure to do your online check-in for ease of check-in. The Quantum does sail close to capacity 4,900+, so even though it's the only ship at the pier, it will be busy with lines. It does go fairly quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
