Retreat Embarkation Lounge

[BCHappyGal]

We are arriving for our cruise from a "red eye" flight - getting into Ft Lauderdale at 5:30am  (UGH) 

Does anyone know how early the Retreat Embarkation Lounge opens? 

I know before our TA we arrived at port early and were seated in the Retreat Embarkation Lounge by 10:30am and there were already people there wwaiting to board.... 

I tried phoning the Retreat Concierge but she did not know!

Thought we would go somewhere for breakfast then go to the port and wait in the lounge...

Have a look at this: https://www.resortpass.com/hotels/marriott-fort-lauderdale-airport?utm_source=google-paid&utm_medium=paid-search&utm_campaign=T_Search_NB-Hotels-Dynamic&gclid=CjwKCAiA8OmdBhAgEiwAShr40zvsN0LcVSK27W4jJvfqzToWUC9OArSHeeoo6RSJHijf8sux7AddUBoCR0sQAvD_BwE

 

it is the Marriott Ft Lauderdale airport. They have a shuttle and you can grab breakfast use the lounge 

maybe worth just giving them a call and ask to have breakfast and then chill in the lounge.

If you are in BC, I would strongly suggest you fly in a full day before the Cruise, I certainly would not rely on AC out of Vancouver to get me there on time. It would stress me out not to be there the day before.

The earliest we arrived was 10:45 and they we just opening the doors to the terminal. There were otherSuute guests waiting to enter the Retreat check in area.

Strange thread.  I thought the OP was asking about a lounge at the port while waiting to board.  This varies by port from non-existent to a really nice area with some snacks and beverages.   Doesn't open till they start checking you in around 10ish +/-.

Yes I was asking about the Retreat Embarkation lounge at te Ft Lauderdale terminal which is really nice... 

I plan to grab the free shuttle from the airport to the Marriott for breakfast and then go to the port after breakfast...

We have a direct flight Seattle to Ft Lauderdale... normally we fly in at least a day early but as this is a direct flight we should be fine...  I would not cut it this close with a connecting flight... worse case senario is I get the next flight and arrive later in teh day but still in time...
