Time boarding the ship?

We are cruising next month and have the 10:45-11:00 window to be at the terminal. We will be boarding the shop then, correct?

I know this might be a dumb question but it’s our first Disney Cruise and I have seen conflicting info!

Thanks in advance!

No, the port opens at 10:30 (when check in begins). Actual boarding doesn't begin until 11:15-11:30 with Concierge guests, then Platinum Castaway Club members. Then they start calling boarding numbers. Boarding numbers are issued at check in at the port and are tied to your Port Arrival Time.

I'd hazard a guess, with a 10:45-11:00 PAT you'll probably be onboard by 12:00 at the latest.
