Epic arrival times

I am sure this has been discussed before, so forgive me, but when I searched I came up with so many things that weren't exactly what I needed and was hard to sort through! Anyway-- we chose an arrival time of 12:30-1 at Port Canaveral.... Now circumstances have changed and I wanted to change it to earlier, but when I logged in to do so, it wouldn't let me....i can only change it to later. So, if we arrive earlier than our selected time, are they going to turn us away? I know with RCI they don't really enforce the arrival times. Also, it says boarding starts at 12, so really no matter what time we arrive, we can't expect to board any sooner than that, right?

Reports vary. Some people indicate that they will not let you check in until the time on your documents. Others say it doesn't matter. Boarding typically begins around 11:00 - 11:15, even though they say noon.

I called ncl and the person I spoke with told me not to worry about it, that they don't hold you to those times
