Hi, first timer here...sailing on 02/15 Freedom of the Seas. What is the soonest we can board? We have already checked in online. Any suggestions please on what time we should arrive at the port? Will lunch be served?

You can board at Noon. Right after that you can eat in Windjammer cafe.You will love selection.Cabin is usually reedy around 1pm.

You should get to the port by 11:30 and be bparded by 12 likeica said. That is usually the best time to get on

Hi, not to beat a dead horse though....my sail documents from RCI state "Boarding time 2:00pm". Is that just generic? My understanding is that we can board earlier as cica and CruzinJared stated above.

Yes it is just generic and how quick the ship clears. We were onboard our last cruise at 11:30.

Remember, there will be 2,000 plus getting on almost at the same time....so you will still need to stand in line.....but it goes fast and before you know it, you will be on board and ready to rock and roll....Have a great cruise...
