Port Arrival Time WRT Platinum Castaway Club

[sgkramer]

From what I am seeing on this forum, it looks like Platinum Castaway Club members no longer get to board in Port Canaveral whenever they wish, but rather must board at the Port Arrival Time like everyone else. Is that correct?

Either way, we are still looking forward to our first post-Covid cruise in a couple weeks!

You are correct. Platinum cruisers have to select a PAT like other cruisers.

I did notice a fast track line to check documents for Platinum and Concierge guests at the port. Not sure about boarding perks unless there was a separate entrance on to the ship? Otherwise I guess they are Boarding Groups 1 and 2.

How long ago was it when you noticed the fast track line? Thanks.

They had it last December and also this June at PC.

However out of Dover and San Diego they did NOT have a platinum line. It was concierge only.

Nope the earliest boarding group for anyone other then Concierge or DCL transportation is #5

This is like before… the lines specifically dedicated to new cruisers…. Silver/ gold… Platinum… and Concierge… obviously there are less Platinum and Concierge on most sailings so those lines are shorter

I cruise b2b out of port canaveral October and November. I’m platinum and had to do the dreaded online checkin at midnight. I managed boarding group #2 both cruises And had a pat of 11am. I logged on at midnight and was done at 12:05am. During past cruises it was taking between 30 minutes to 2 hours and fighting with the blue circle of death.
