Boarding Question

You can board around 11:30 - 11:45 usually. You can get into the terminal at 10 to get checked in, look around (there is lots to see) and get in line.
 
Keep an eye on the boarding line. When it starts filling up, put one person in line while the others look around. Also, just back from our first cruise. We boarded just a little before 12:00. First thing you do is get your picture made. Then they will guide you towards Parrot Cay for lunch. An option>If you have small children wanting to swim, take the elevator to deck 9. While the kids swim, you can choose to get buffet from the beach blanket or fast food from Pluto's doghouse. You can sit right by the pool and eat while the kids swim. You will beat the crowd and your children will have the pool almost by themselves for about 2 hours. It will be the least crowded time at the pools the entire trip.

This is exactly what we did on our second cruise. We took the stairs all way to deck 9. There was NO ONE on the deck at all! Freshly cleaned, pool sparking clear! The kids wanted Plutos (chicken strips) and my DH & I took turns at the buffet after a while. My DD5 had the Mickey pool to herself for about an hour. Didn't fill up for 3 hours or so. It was so relaxing! How many times can you say you were the first one in the Mickey pool and down the Mickey slide! :banana:
