Which point of embarkation? Princess has several.

 

Our experience in Ft Lauderdale is about 11-11:30am.

[wrg11]

It would be Fort Lauderdale. Thanks.

Anywhere from 11 to 1, they will start embarkation, unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Usually, about 11:30 or so they will start boarding. First to board will be those with priority boarding - passengers in suites and those in the Platinum or Elite level of the Captains's Circle, Others will start a little later - noon or so

[CleoPat]

Would a mini suite be considered for early boarding?

[Liz54]

No, only full suites, platinum and elites.

[skynight]

Once boarded you may go directly to your cabin. No waiting around for an announcement

[KirkNC]

We usually show up between 11:00 and 11:30 and are onboard by 12 or so.

[paul929207]

Would a mini suite be considered for early boarding?

No, only mini-suites get priority boarding

[Working 2 Cruise]

No, only mini-suites get priority boarding

 

Paul, did you not mean only full suites get priority boarding? As previously stated, only full suite, elite and platinum passengers get priority boarding.

And disabled in wheel chairs are also among the first. :D
