We arrived around 10:00 and were in shortly thereafter. However, on our next cruise, I will make no effort to get there before 11:30 or 12:00. It was a case of 'hurry up and wait'. There was no line for people arriving after the ship had opened. They just walked up to the counter, checked in, and walked right on the boat. Waiting around the terminal with nothing to do for 2 hours was pointless.
