Check In Time On The Victory

[Larryfromsc]

I was wondering what time they will let you go on board the ship.We are going May 28th,is anyone else going on this cruise?

With a 10:00pm departure time I'm not sure when they'll begin check-in. Be sure you're there before 9:00pm though, they close check-in 1 hour before departure time always.

Have a great cruise and welcome to Cruise-Chat.

Cheers, Neil

We were planing on getting there at about 8:00 in the morning so we can beat the crowds.

Call your T/A or the cruise line if you booked direct and find out when actual boarding will be allowed. You will not be able to board the ship at 8:00am, they won't even be finished with disembarkation from the previous sailing at that time. Then they have to clean the ship and get it stocked and ready for your sailing.

Don't ever try to be the first in line. The line is longest just before they open boarding. Be in the area but wait an hour or so after they begin check-in and the line will be a fraction of the size. Everyone trys to get there early, guess like you they're all anxious. Patience will save you a great deal of time standing in line.

So a time of 11:00 on would be better
