queensny Posted July 14, 2007 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Hi All, My DH and I will be on the Crown for the 8/1 cruise. We are first time crusiers on Princess. Our boarding pass states that we should be boarding between 1:00 and 3:00. We were planning on driving to the pier around 11:00. We wanted to board then too. I know that past cruisers have priority over newbies (which I think is great!!) So... do we have to wait until 1:00?:eek: We want to get started ASAP!!!;) Thanks, Cate:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted July 14, 2007 #2 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Depending on how smooth the disembarkation went from the cruise that just ended it should start boarding between 11:30-12:00. Those times on the boarding pass are suggestions. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transitteach Posted July 14, 2007 #3 Share Posted July 14, 2007 We are taking the same cruise, and planning on arriving around 11:30. You should be able to board 11:30 to 12:00 Have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mii Posted July 14, 2007 #5 Share Posted July 14, 2007 We always come to the port around 11a.m. and get on board when it is all clear. Where did you get the idea that past passengers get on first ahead of a newbie. My very first cruise I was there at 11:30 am. and got right on with the rest of the passenger who were there.

Marilyn Platinum plus have a separate baggage inspection line that bypasses the less than Platinum - you may not get onboard ahead of a newbie but you will not have to stand outside for an hour until the doors are opened. This has been in effect for some time. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey so long as the ship does not leave me.:D Heck most of the time I leave from San Francisco and they have no platinum plus line there, just platinum.
