Agree with the board early and hit the MDR, a nice relaxing lunch after the trip to the ship hits the spot. 28 more day until we board for Hawaii. Being Elite does have perks, like usually onboard in time for the MDR, but before we were Elite we just caught the Princess bus from the airport and most of the time went right in. Only time early arrival failed was once for the norovirus and once when half the ship showed up early, then we got a boarding number 😢.

How did you manage to board early. I’ve been fighting via email that I couldn’t board before my deck was called. I spent $50 and changed my flight because of this.
