How Early Can You Board a Cruise Ship Princess?

By Anna Duncan

Cruise ships provide a relaxing and enjoyable getaway for people of all ages. They offer a variety of activities and destinations for a memorable vacation.

One of the most popular cruise lines is Princess Cruises, which has been taking passengers to exotic ports of call since 1965. But when it comes to boarding their ships, just how early can you board?

The answer depends on the type of ticket you have purchased. If you have opted for the ‘Concierge Class’ cabin, you will be allowed to board the ship as early as 11am in the morning on the day of departure.

This allows you to enjoy all the amenities onboard before other guests arrive. You can take advantage of special offers such as priority boarding and disembarkation, private check-in service, complimentary beverages and snacks, priority luggage delivery to your stateroom, priority seating at select restaurants, an exclusive concierge lounge and more.

If you are travelling with a family or group, then booking an ‘Oceanview’ cabin will give you access to board as early as 1pm on the day of departure. This allows you more time to explore the ship and get comfortable before anyone else arrives.

Finally, if your ticket is for an ‘Inside’ cabin then you will be able to board at 2pm on the day of departure. This gives passengers adequate time to find their staterooms and get settled before dinner.

Conclusion:

Passengers aboard Princess Cruises can board as early as 11am in the morning if they have purchased a Concierge Class cabin ticket. Those with Oceanview cabins can board at 1pm while Inside cabins can be accessed from 2pm on the day of departure.
