The 11 to 1130 group will usually be able to catch up tovall those gotta be first groups. So anytime after 1130 you often can just walk on.

When we boarded in February it was shocking to literally walk right on. We had 12:30 embark time. You have to do all the checking of documents and scanning carry ons. But we did not have to sit and wait to be called by zone as we did our very first time in 2022. But be aware of the pile up once you get to the elevators. We had hubby in his power chair and sister in law with scooter….and I rolled hubbies walker. We split up but still had to wait awhile. If you can take the stairs to your muster station.

10:30 always ♥️

that won't happen. to be one of the first few on, you'll have to wait in the lines at 10-1030. to be one of the first on, you'll also need to be on a b2b, diamond, platinum or wedding party and maybe fttf. to avoid lines, your best bet is to choose the 12-1230 check in

Embarkation & debarkation process is sooooooo very efficient for Mardi Gras. The best we’ve ever experienced. We had 11:00 check in, obviously there was a line, but it moved so quickly.

I agree. I picked the 10:30-11 slot. I didn't get there until 11:25. was on the ship by 11:40 ish
