Boarding time at Sovereign on 9/4?

[LawnGuylandGirl]

Friends,

 

We just printed up our edocs and it states that the boarding time for our Sept 4 cruise on the SOS out of Port Canaveral is 2PM with sailaway 5PM.

 

This is only my second cruise --- on the first (Star Princess) we boarded much earlier, at about 10 or 11 AM, so I arranged for our transport to get us to the pier at Canaveral around that time.

 

Is that too early? We have one grown son who just had leg surgery and a toddler who broke her leg last week with us so the last thing I want to do is make them wait around on a dock for longer than is necessary. I was hoping, in fact, to get there early enough to "beat the crowd". We will be flying in on the 3rd.

 

Thanks!

 

PS One day I hope to have cruised enough to OFFER advice, not just give it!:)

We boarded at approximately 11:30 the last time. I believe they start boading around 11:00.

In July we boarded about 11:30 but our room wasnt ready until 1pm. Just go have lunch in the Windjammer and relax until you can get into your room.

I'm glad that our plans are still good ones!

 

I'm pretty excited. We know it is going to be a challenge with our son having had recent surgery and the baby in a full-leg cast but as many of you always say, "A bad day cruising is better than a good day at work!" and we know we'll have a great time anyway.
