So you don’t see it on your way to the parking lot either?

When we parked we went straight into the parking garage. To get to drop off you have to keep going past. Here are photos from the garage so you can see where to go and how it is not very visible from there

That makes sense. But it looks like there is a YC line outside. Is there?

The luggage tags we printed have Yacht club on them.

Yes but they put additional gold colored tags on them at the tent. They get priority service onto the ship and they ask how many bags you have.

The line to the left is YC no one in it except the lady at the tent in purple - the long line is non YC. So YC bypass the line.

You also get a sticker which helps butlers and staff know you are in the Yacht Club

Cruisers preference. We walked over as we only had one large wheeled duffle bag and a smaller shoulder duffle bag this go around.  If you walk from either the flat lot or garage, there was smaller blue tent that was also YC. It was at the base of the escalator along side the building. I didn't thing to get pictures of it as we entered as my hands were full, but I grabbed a screenshot from Google Maps with where it is, sans YC tent and people in the way.

 

It may be kind of hard to see, but the tent would be generally close to the white door near the center of the picture. They had two folks doing the initial check as well as a designated porter.  They did attach additional gold YC tags to make them more visible for loading.

You can do either. It's up to you.

We’ll probably park first. Everything except our beach bag will be on wheels.

These are the YC tags that get added to your luggage

Is 9:30am too early to get to the port in Miami?

Probably, depending on which ports the ship has visited on the previous cruise and of course what time it got into port that morning as they have to zero the ship before boarding can begin...

 

We will be boarding Divina in Miami at the end of next week and we will aim to get there around 10:30 or so, but as our cruise visits Colombia there is likely to be a more careful inspection upon her return so I wouldn't suggest an early arrival for those doing the short Ocean Cay cruise after ours.
