MSC(UK) Virtuosa embarkation time

[tjwa]

Hello,

We are due to sail Virtuosa next week and the embarkation form states that the time of embarkation is 10.00am and that check-in closes within 1 hour from 10am ie 11am - is this correct.

Thanks

Yes they start to board early, you can be later than 11am though as long as you are there before boarding ends, no one checks.

Is 10am the earliest check in from Southampton?

Got our tickets today and our time is 9 am, though we expect that to change before our sailing at the end of April.

We got our embarkation time for 5 then 3 then 9 and now 12 for April we are in Aurea. Until I get my tickets I take the timings with a pinch of salt and then they never check your times anyway when checking in.

10 is the earliest. Was on a cruise in Dec and got we got to the yc tent at 9.45. They took our bags whisked us through security, took us upstairs and there was no one up there! Then one of the yc people came over and said 10am they should start checking in.
