This could be one of those times-PAT's enforced

[Weedy]

It has been reported on these boards that the Fantasy is having problems and is headed back to port
She is set to sail back out on Saturday. If they are still working on her boarding may be delayed.
IF this happens things could be really backed up at the port and could make them have to enforce the PAT's. If the terminal get's full and you arrive before your PAT you may be asked to wait outside until your PAT.

I saw that first time I was on the fantasy for NYE
The boat was jammed packed and they lined us up outside

What do they do if you show up past your PAT window?

You'd be able to go in, I would think.

You're usually fine arriving after your PAT. If you have a 10:30 PAT and you arrive at 11:15, you are already one of the ones expected to be in the terminal and factored into the terminal capacity. Then they start board and it opens up space in the terminal. If they don't start boarding the Fantasy until much later than 11:30 on Saturday, then they may have to hold people with later PAT times outside the terminal. In that case, even people arriving at their PAT could be held outside.

As long as the issue is something they reasonably feel they can fix on Saturday and get the ship under way, even if sail away is delayed a few hours, they would likely start boarding people. Or boarding could be delayed if the ship doesn't make it back to port in time.

Depends on the situation at the time of your arrival. If the terminal is at or near capacity, and they are holding people outside, then youd have to wait, but Id think that you would have priority getting in. If there below the terminal capacity, you should be able to walk right in.
