what time is online check in

[DISNEY FANTASY]

During the online check-in, can you still choose a boarding time?

You choose a port arrival time not boarding time. At port terminal they give you a boarding card which is based on your PAT and when you do arrive.

Is this your first DCL cruise? If so, 75 days prior to that date. Well, unless you are Concierge. In that case, check in is at 120 days out (but you should contact the shoreside concierge with your requests at 125 days). You can look on your reservation online and it will tell you how many days till your check in date.

how long are the waits usually from your PAT to your boarding time.

how long are the waits usually from your PAT to your boarding time.

The PAT windows start at 10:30 for most ports. Actual boarding doesn't begin until 11:15-11:30, in most cases. They start with Concierge/Platinum Castaway Club members and then boarding number are announced, roughly every 5-10 minutes. It's hard to say how long the gap can be between your PAT and the time they announce your particular boarding number. Each PAT window usually has 3-5 boarding numbers assigned to it.

If you have a 10:30 PAT, chances are you won't be boarding until around 11:30 (about an hour). If you have a 12:30 PAT, it's entirely possible that you may board as soon as you've checked in.
