Summary
Cruise boarding times vary, but most ships begin boarding between 10 and 11 a.m. after the previous passengers have disembarked. It’s recommended to arrive at the port the day before the cruise to avoid travel delays. Passengers can check-in online and select a boarding time, with early afternoon slots being the least crowded. The best time to board is around 1 or 2 p.m. when the morning rush has died down.
Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Cruise lines assign boarding times or ask passengers to select a time slot during check-in. Passengers can check-in online and set up their onboard account before boarding. The best time to board is around 1 or 2 p.m. when the morning rush has died down. Cabins are usually ready between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Passengers can grab lunch at the buffet, relax by the pool, or order a drink at a bar while waiting for their cabin to be ready. The mandatory muster drill is usually held before departure.
Because the most relaxing part of your vacation is the waiting in line.
