Jr suite- check in early?

[Kruisn'Kay]

Good morning! I have a jr suite for the first time and am confused if I can check in early. There are 2 different places on the RCC website that state whether or not jr suite guests can check in early and they both say something different…Lol! My check in time is 12:30. Can I check in early at Port Everglades, if so, how early? I don’t want to come early unless it’s allowed. Thank you!!

Currently I don't think there's any early check in for JS guests. Not sure if there was before COVID, but we didn't get to check in early with our JS a few weeks ago.

Thank you, that is so helpful!

Yes you should be able to check in up to 1 hour prior to your scheduled time. I recently had a scheduled boarding time of 2pm for my Odyssey sailing in a JS and was able to arrive and board at 1 pm with no problem.

Sure. Your sea pass card says "suite" and there is no identification of type of suite anywhere. If you are leaving from Miami or a larger terminal, there are separate Suite check-in line. (There wasn't a separate line in Nassau (since check-in was at the Hilton hotel), but they let suite guest in early).

Last week they began by boarding suites at 11:45 so getting there a little after that would eliminate waiting in the initial line of people waiting for the embarkation to begin. Sorry this was Cape Liberty just saw you’re looking at a different port.

Were they enforcing check in times last week? What was your check in time? By the time I checked in the earliest time I could get was 2pm, we’re thinking about getting there around noon and hoping they’ll let us board early. We’re also in a GS

They seemed to be caring about check in times. And I say that because the garage attendant advised us to wait in the car until our check in time but once we got over to the terminal it just looked like a mass of people and there was no signage that we could see. I asked a port worker where suites went and was told we’d board first and they’d announce when it was time but never asked our appointment time. We had 12:00 appointment and got to the port around 11:00 and were able to board around 11:45.
