I had a suite on my Freedom cruise in March. All suites have priority boarding. With a suite you will be able to go online 2 days earlier (16 days till your cruise) and check in and pick your arrival time. So you can pick the earliest time available, usually 10 am. I had that and actually arrived at the port at 9:30 am and was able to check in in 5 minutes. We went to the waiting area till the ship was cleared to board, took about 30 minutes. Just depends on how quick they get everyone off the previous cruise till you can get on. They had the sections in the waiting area Diamond/Platinum. then suite guest, then FTTF. When it was time to board they went in that order. We were on board, went to the muster station to do the drill and then we were able to go right to our room. Suites will be ready, In that little box outside your cabin will be an envelope and your sail and sign cards will be in there. Use that to get in your cabin and leave you stuff in there and then go to the lido deck to get your drink on and start the cruise. The doors to the cabins might be closed, you just need to pen them to go to the hallway to your cabin.
