If it does say 3:00 PM I would highly recommend that someone on this cruise have their TA contact Crystal to see if this is a real time (once in awhile it really is or if boarding will be at Noon). If it really is 3:00 PM due to say coast guard drills or inspection then when final documents are issued that will be noted.

That makes sense. No one wants to wait 3 hours to board!

I finally got my booking number and access to the PCPC. It says "Docking 3 PM to 10 PM". Not sure what that means, because I don't know what it says when you can board at 11 AM and leave at 5 PM. Does it say "Docking 11 AM to 5 PM" like it does when you're in port while traveling?

There's plenty of time to find out for sure, especially since we're not flying. If no one knows for sure by the time we get to November, I'll check with our TA. Just thought I'd follow up since I do have PCPC access now.

And now we have our boarding documents (were calling them ”letters of transit”, which included an advisory that sailing was at 7, and we have to be onboard 90 minutes before. But nothing says when we can START boarding. :-(

Anyone know for sure???

Default Our PCPC

Our PCPC says for NY Oct. 31 "Docking from 3 PM to 5 PM" but since Crystal is providing our transfer from the airport I'll just wait and see what happens. I assume we will be boarding for lunch as usual. J

You should be able to board at around Noon.

When there is a late boarding then you will normally get a special advisory about that as we did for a cruise last year.

Otherwise, assume Noon. Sometimes precise time can be impact that day if the ship was later getting cleared from the preceding voyage but it could even be earlier than noon.
