berniem22 Posted March 8, 2005 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2005 We leave at 10pm from Papeete. What time are we allowed to board? Would also like to hear from others about the cruise and what they did in each port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy Z Posted March 9, 2005 #2 Share Posted March 9, 2005 You may begin to go through the first security 3 hours prior to your flight - 7pm in this case. This puts you ahead of busloads of passengers that come to the airport from dayrooms at hotels at about 8pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thulewx Posted March 10, 2005 #3 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I arrived at the ship at 12:30 and was told absolutely no boarding before 3pm. They took my luggage and I wandered around downtown Papeete until 2:30, went back to the ship, and they'd started allowing people on. So, in general, don't plan on getting on the ship much before 2:30 - 3pm. Most of the busses of people coming from the dayrooms at the Intercontinental or Radisson Hotels start arriving around 3:30-4:00pm but, even then, embarkation was a breeze. An incredible cruise with breathtaking scenery. Try to be on deck in the morning as you're pulling into the bays at Bora Bora and especially Moorea. And if you have a walkman, get a recording of "Bali Hai" from South Pacific and play it as you enter the bay at Moorea - betcha start crying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted March 10, 2005 #4 Share Posted March 10, 2005 berniem, I'm assuming you meant embarking the PG. I think it's universally accepted that there are no early embarkations, 3 p.m. is the earliest. Especially now that they let you stay on the ship longer on disembarking morning, you're now apparently allowed to stay on board (not in your room) until about 1 p.m. Last time we just sailed up in a cab, and walked right on the ship. If you're with a group of fellow-cruisers, of course, then it will be a little slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
