A couple questions pre/post boarding

[QUOTE=TheH2s;953606]We did our online check-in a couple weeks ago and we chose a 11:00 - 11:30 check-in at the port. First question, how long does it take to get checked in and once you are checked in can you go right on the boat? Also when are the rooms available on check-in day?

It depends on the crowd. It didn't take us long at all. The first thing you will do is sign a paper stating that no one in your party is sick. After that you will go to another desk to check-in. You will be given a loading #. They will call out that numbers are loading. Plan on waiting for at least an hour or more.

Usually they will tell you to go to and get lunch before going to your room. That's what we did and by the time we were done our luggage was showing up. They will put it outside your room.

On the day of debarkation how long does it take to get off the ship? Can you leave right away in the morning? We have a WDW trip booked right after the cruise and wondered how long it will take to get off the boat so we can immediately drive to Orlando. Thanks!!

Once again it depends on the crowd. We didn't hurry to get off the ship so it didn't take us too long. You will get your luggage and wait in line to go through customs. After that you just walk out and catch your ride.

It's about an hour drive to Orlando from there.[/QUOTE]
