Hi all,
Friends and I are looking forward to our first Celebrity cruise on the 9/13/03 sailing of the Century. How early can a first time Celebrity cruiser usually board at embarkation ?
Thanks!

We got to port around 10:30 am. We took taxi from our hotel to port. (NO SHUTTLE) We boarded at 11:15 and we were not Captain's Club members. We took our carryon to the cabin, which was not ready and left it inside and walked around the ship and had lunch.. Enjoy, you will have a great time! JANZ

We have taken many cruises but we will take our first CELEBRITY cruise in August. (Infinity to Alaska). I have a slight handicap which does not allow me to stand for long periods of time. I am, therefore, concerned about embarkation. I DO NOT want to request a wheelchair because I do not feel it is a major handicap--but I am concerned! We have purchased a 1A (Consierge Class) cabin which will supposedly allow early embarkation. Will we be able to embark early or will we have to face long lines? Any info will be appreciated.

If you arrive after 11:30AM you should board quickly........it can depend if bus loads just arrived from the airport..........but Celebrity has to be one of the best/fastest embarkations. Unlike NCL where you stand around for over an hour in line!

Enjoy!

I have never faced lines for boarding with Celebrity (even on our first cruise with them). You should be fine. Have all your paperwork done (do it online when possible) and there should be little wait.

HI COLLEEN,
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET ON EARLY BUT UNDERSTAND THAT IF THERE IS A COAST GUARD INSPECTION YOU COULD BE HELD UP FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. THIS HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS. HAVE A BLAST!!

Since you are staying over night in Venice anyway on board the ship you will have plenty of time.

Happy sailing.
