Joline21 Posted June 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2015 We are due to sail with Princess for the first time on Royal Princess. We have just received a Booking Notification regarding check-in at Southampton. It is giving specific times for check-in depending on which deck you are on. Has anyone come across this recently and is it adhered to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone come across this recently and is it adhered to? No experience personally from Southampton, but I have never heard of anyone being turned away for arriving early. And places I have sailed from know people turn up early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriPhil Posted June 26, 2015 #3 Share Posted June 26, 2015 We received the same notice when we sailed the Royal in Fort Lauderdale - considered it more of a recommendation and showed up at our usual early time and had no problems. Enjoy your cruise - we thought the Royal was lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joline21 Posted June 26, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Thank you both for your replies. That sounds promising. We will arrive at our normal time and all should be well. Looking forward to sailing on the Royal Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grego Posted June 26, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Go ahead and arrive at a time that is convenient for you. Princess, as well as other cruise lines, like to stagger the passenger arrival times to make the flow better through embarkation. It is not reasonable that they would make you walk around the block numerous times because your transportation to get you to your port got you there according to their scheduling. Have a great voyage. You'll love this ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted June 26, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Another vote for boarding at your convenience. I tend to arrive at the departure port "about" 11:30 and usually I'm in my cabin by noon-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
