What if we're late for our Port Arrival Time?

Showing up after your PAT is not a problem, in fact you will avoid the crowds and probably get right on board without any waiting.
 
We have intentionally skipped our PAT before. Walked into a virtually empty terminal, walked right on the ship, dropped off our bags and went to a quiet buffet at Cabanas because everybody else had already gotten on the boat, eaten and was in their rooms unpacking.
 
We've got an early arrival time 11:30-12 but what if we don't get there until 2ish?
Nothing. It's really more of a "no earlier than...." time than an actual window you have to arrive during.

You'll still get the same boarding number, regardless of when you arrive, but by 2, boarding numbers are generally not needed.
 

Does the cruise one choose your port arrival time for you?

When you check in online you will be given a choice. The times that aren't available because they are already taken will be greyed out.
 
Just understand what you might be missing...
  • what time does that lunch you paid for end?
  • do you need to make any dining changes..... the waitlist may be full.
  • will they run out of character breakfast tickets?
