first_timer2 Posted April 22, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2008 We are going on princess cruise on July 10, 08. Ship leaves port at 5 pm. What is the earliest or latest we can board? What times are usually the quickest to get on ship without the long lines? thank you all for your help since it is our first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbouck1 Posted April 22, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 22, 2008 You can start boarding at 12 noon. You should all be on board by 4pm for a 5 pm departure. At any time, it should take about 15 minutes or less to get on board. Best time is between 1&2pm. Done the Red Hook departure twice and had absolutely no problems.

willysgrandma Posted April 22, 2008 #3 Share Posted April 22, 2008 If you want to avoid lines arrive at around 1:00 or 1:30. You can pretty well be assured the prior cruise should be all disembarked and the lines for those that have to be first on the ship will be gone by then. It is a great pier to leave from, especially if you drive your own car - plenty of parking right next to the ship. Have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetz Posted April 22, 2008 #4 Share Posted April 22, 2008 We arrive around 10:30-11. Like to board at noon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted April 23, 2008 #5 Share Posted April 23, 2008 We arrive way early too. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&F Posted April 23, 2008 #6 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Last year we were waiting in the waiting area for past guests and they opened the doors about 11:45 or so. We were onboard before 12. We had no lines whatsoever. There looks like there will be a backup of cars, but the line moves very quickly as there are multiple lanes to get through. As for how late, I believe they now want everyone onboard by 3:30. See ya onboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

first_timer2 Posted April 23, 2008 Author #11 Share Posted April 23, 2008 How about the disembarking, how will that be? How long will it take? Can we have breakfast on the ship if we want to take our sweet time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last summer off Crown in Red Hook, disembarking was very easy and I recently heard that it got easier...You can definitely have breakfast... you should know what time you will be getting off the night before, so you can enjoy breakfast....
