mark46 Posted Saturday at 03:30 AM #1 Share Posted Saturday at 03:30 AM Do they send you formal or formal times? Do they matter? I know that embarcation is different for suite members as on most liners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted Saturday at 03:46 AM #2 Share Posted Saturday at 03:46 AM They will assign you a time when you book, although it may change. But no one checks at the port, so time does t matter. I like to show up around 1230 when crowds have diminished. If you are driving to and parking at the port, the garage doesn’t open until after 1000. EM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted Saturday at 11:59 AM #3 Share Posted Saturday at 11:59 AM Though we arrived around 10:45, we didn’t board until 11:30 due to some problem with clearing the ship. We waited in a YC holding area. Arrive when you want but be prepared to wait and pleasantly surprised if you don’t have to! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegeek1974 Posted Saturday at 01:11 PM #4 Share Posted Saturday at 01:11 PM I was wondering the same thing. I'm going to be dropping off a rental car and then going to the ship by shuttle or uber and would like to just get on the ship as early as possible. Is there a sweet spot time to arrive to get on the ship as early as possible and also beat out the initial crowd? This will be one of the first times where I can board the ship whenever I want, as in the past we have flown in on the day the cruise starts so at best we would arrive at the pier in the early afternoon.

Boarding times can be affected by many factors beyond MSC's control. The most prevalent is the requirement to get all departing passengers off the ship before new passengers are allowed to board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
