Check-In with First time Cruisers

[StargazerNova]

I am a silver castaway member sailing with my sister and her husband. This is their first-time cruising with Disney and i am wondering will they be able to enter the ship the same time that my wife and I will seeing i will be able to get a better boarding time than they.
Thank you

You can wait and board together at the higher (later) boarding group time.

No. They will not be allowed to board earlier with you but like LaneJudy suggested you can all board together at the later time if it is important to you. Honestly it is normally not that much of a difference between first time cruisers and silver anyway. At most I can see you waiting 30 mins to board with them and maybe not even that long.

More important is Port Arrival Time. Or is everyone taking Disney transfers?

For either one, you can be late, just not early for processing.

We had a similar situation last year - we booked late, and our friends had already done their check-in. Our PAT and boarding number were after theirs, but there was a note online that said that if this was the case (our reservations were linked - not sure if that triggered said note?), you could ask, and they may (emphasize the may) allow boarding at the same time. We did ask when we arrived (we came together) if we could board at the same time and they made a manual change to our boarding pass. So it might be possible - I don't know if it made a difference that we were both Platinum. So you can ask, but they may say no.

You can always board later, but they can't board early with you.

Can you switch someone in your room with someone in their room on the reservations? Assuming your and your wife share a status
