How early is too early to ship to the port?

I'm shipping a box to the port for our 8/31 Fantasy sailing. I was thinking about sending it next Wednesday. Would that be too early?

That sounds about right! When I shipped 3 boxes to the port, I actually called and they asked that we NOT send the boxes too early, lest they got put on another cruise by accident! I'm pretty sure I mailed mine on a Thursday, with UPS, who said it'd get there probably Tuesday, and we sailed that following Sunday. So I mailed the boxes out 10 days before we sailed. Does that help?!!!

That helps, thanks! Fifth cruise, but first time shipping to the port.
