Boarding does start around noon. However, the terminal opens around 10:30am.
The way it works is when you arrive to the terminal, you are given a number. Those with number 1 get to board first, those with number 2 get to board second and so on. We arrived at 11:00 and received the number to board with group 4.
During that hour, we checked in, they looked at our passports, we registered the kids for the club, etc. Boarding did start around noon.
It's a good idea to get there before boarding starts at noon, if at all possible. We spent the night before at the Radisson by the port. We flew in on Saturday. It's a great idea to get there on Saturday if you can.
