dritan Posted July 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Hi Sorry as I'm sure this has been a topic before but the search facility when using the Android app is terrible. I've booked train tickets for my family to arrive in Civitavecchia by 11.30 but got an email last night about progressive checking. Ours is due at 3pm!! I've used Civitavecchia many times and is probably the worst embarkation port imaginable and definitely wouldn't want to be stuck in it for 3 hours in 90 degree temperatures and with 2 kids. I'm also pretty sure other lines indicate a preferred time to board? Does anyone have recent experience of this? I've never cruises with Princess before? Thanks Sent from my SM-A320FL using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishfulone Posted July 17, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 17, 2017 You've actually answered your question yourself. Your preferred check in is 3pm. Show up. Fill in your paperwork and see what happens. With any luck you'll be aboard long before 3pm. Unless you're up the loyalty scale on any cruise line you just have to sit and take pot luck. Sorry.

satxdiver Posted July 17, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I have only seen one posting on here that said that Princess enforced their progressive checkin times. Like many things with Princess they don't actively enforce their rules in this case checkin times. This does not mean that they will enforce it in your case but I doubt it. However if you show up early, then be prepared to stand/sit in line if all the other pax waiting to board the ship. Chances are you will be onboard long before 3 PM.

paul929207 Posted July 17, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 17, 2017 The Princess preferred check in times are suggestions, not mandates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted July 17, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Check in when you get there. You will be placed in a group in order of arrival and will board with that group. Forget the 3pm suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colo Cruiser Posted July 17, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Thanks feeling a bit better about it now. I agree, we have had boarding times a couple of times from Rome and they have been a suggestion only. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dritan Posted August 13, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted August 13, 2017 In case others will be asking the same question, we got to the cruise terminal around 11.30 am and were on board by midday. Fab start to our best ever holiday. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVBill Posted August 13, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Its Italy. Your train is scheduled to arrive at 11:30. It might arrive by 3:00. No worries about being stuck waiting to board the ship. 😀 Sent from my SM-P580 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
