The earlier, the better. Start your vacation no later than noon, if at all possible.

I can go at 8 AM but then how long do I wait to board?

8am is a tad too early. You'd be in the way of the debarking passengers. 11am is a better idea.

The paperword for my April 26th Princess out of San Pedro says boarding starts at 12:00; if you are there at 11:00 you may have to wait a little but you'll be one of the first ones on.

11:00 sounds about right to me, too.

f-mattox, are you going on Diamond Princess? That ranks among my favorites of all of our cruises, as you may know.

Hello LisaP,
no, this time it's the Island Princess r/t to Hawaii. But the Diamond Princess, and before her, the Sapphire Princess to the Mexican Riviera is one of my favorites also--naturally--living 30 minutes from the port.

I think I'd prefer the Island Princess to Hawaii.

Actually, and I know I have a lot of company on this, I'm happy on any ship going anywhere--or nowhere!
