Club Orange “ priority boarding “ at Port Everglades

[horseymike]

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone recently experienced the “ priority boarding “ included with a Club Orange pass at Port Everglades ?
We have a cruise booked with the Club Orange pass in March and am trying to find out how the process works.

CO gets to board with Neptune Suites and 4 and 5 star Mariners.

As you enter the terminal for check-in, head to the line for 4*/5*/Neptune & Pinnacle Suites/Club Orange (aka “Priority”) line.  Once you’re checked in, proceed toward the escalator (behind the check-in desk) where you will head upstairs to a separate waiting area (vs being seated on the ground floor in the main terminal.)  There will be a sign beside the escalator with the words I’ve bolded, above, on it.

 

There are snacks and drinks available while you wait.  At 11:30am they open the doors, escort the PS passengers onboard, then the wheelchair passengers.  The remainder of the priority passengers will follow by row.

 

Sometimes it is necessary to point out the “PRIORITY” heading on your boarding pass to gain access to the priority check-in line and lounge, as they seem to shuffle everyone to the general line instead.  At least, that has been my experience.

 

Have a wonderful time!

As a 3* who had purchased CO, pointing out the Priority on my boarding pass didn't help.  The person asked multiple times if I was 4 or 5* or in a Neptune.  I finally said I had Club Orange and she realized I was in the correct line.

 

Now I know to immediately tell whomever that I have CO so they don't just look at the stars on the pass.

I am curious now - I do not have Club Orange, and I am only a wee one-star mariner, but I *DO* have priority boarding.  Wonder how that will pan out!

Based on what you said (1 star ant not club orange but priority boarding) I am guessing you booked a Neptune sweet. If that's the case priority boarding is a sweet perk so no issues.

The other possibility is your booking is tied to a 4or 5-star mariner.
