Boarding number will be given to you at the port. The arrival time is....actually I have no flippin' idea what the purpose of that is!! We checked in last week and the arrival time thing is new for us too (never had it on our other DCL cruises) but we took 10:30 to 11:00 as that was the first available.
I checked in just about 10 days before our 5/26 cruise on the Dream. (I was so busy, that I never got around to the online check in until then).
The only choice I had was a 2:30 PM port arrival time.
The shuttle from our pre-cruise hotel got us to the port at about 10:30, and no one from DCL even cared about our port arrival time. We received boarding number 9, which was fine with us.
We were on board the ship and eating lunch in Cabanas by about 12:30 (after a stop by guest services to inquire about availability of the ship board doctor since we thought our daughter had broken her toe the night before the cruise).
I posted about this last month (thread title -I am at the port now). No one looks at your arrival time. The computer will use it to assign you a boarding number though if you don't get your boarding number from the CM's at the beginning of the line (so besure to do that as the computer number assignment will be a higher boarding number). You will get your boarding number from Disney at the bus check-in at the resoer or airport (I beleive) if you are arriving through them via bus instead of at the port.
My arrival time was 10:30-11:00 and I got there at 9 something and had no problems- got boarding number 2 and was onboard by 12:30.
