Treacher1 Posted January 26 #1 Share Posted January 26 We are booked for Beyond March 11 - I went online at 6 am to do check in (first day available). The earliest boarding time was 12 to 12:30. Has this changed - in the past we boarded 10:30 to 11:00. Since I checked in at 6 am - I was surprised this was the earliest time. Did Celebrity change this to allow more time to prepare ship for new passengers or were that many people checking in BEFORE me. Not a big deal, but have always enjoyed getting on the ship early - seems like almost an extra day vacation. Thanks for your comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaden Posted January 26 #2 Share Posted January 26 We’re also on this cruise but was able to select an earlier 11:30am time slot… we checked in through the app at around 5:30am EST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notagoose Posted January 26 #3 Share Posted January 26 On my recent Beyond cruise, the earliest available time for anyone to board was 11:30 a.m., and some people were online at midnight to get the earliest slot, so very possible they were all taken up by 6 a.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellySaysFloss Posted January 26 #4 Share Posted January 26 We are on the same sailing and were given an 11:30am arrival time. Husband checked us in before 6am EST today....I agree with the others, the earlier slots were already taken before you logged on but at least it's still an early time slot 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treacher1 Posted January 26 Author #5 Share Posted January 26 Thanks for your responses - we still have a decent time to embark - "the early bird gets the worm." I guess I needed to be earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I needed to be earlier. I checked in around 1 am and the earliest available this year was 11:30 am. Last year, I booked at 7 am and got 11 am. I suspect they need more time to prep the ship.

danceswithphones Posted January 26 #7 Share Posted January 26 We checked in a few minutes after midnight Eastern. Earliest was 11:30. We were in the Retreat. Boarded at 10:57 and in the suite (EV) at 11:10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrshinn Posted February 13 #8 Share Posted February 13 Recently on Beyond and had a 2PM boarding time which was crazy since all aboard was 2:30. Decided to head on over to the Pier and it wasn't an issue we were onboard by 11:20. No one questioned our paperwork. Worst case wait at the Pier or Hotel, we chose Pier.

I don't think it was anything you did or didn't do. Based on this it seems 11:30 is pretty much the earliest embarkation time - probably for RCL also. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2819754-is-1130-the-earliest-check-in-time/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
