We're staying in Miami before boarding Explorer. How early do you think we could board? I'm looking to board as early as possible.

Although your cruise docs will usually tell you boarding begins at 2:00 pm - I have always gottten on board about noon. That includes my last voyage on the Explorer. Have a great trip -

As soon as they clear the ship before you they will let you board and this varies from cruise to cruise. I boarded the Explorer last year at noon. It's either wait at the pier or wait at your hotel...I choose the pier [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Thanks for all the advice. I'd rather wait at the pier also, to take pictures.
