What time will I likely be boarding?

[Maggie'sMom]

I'm going on my first cruise ever next week, the 3 night on the Dream leaving 10/2. My flight is scheduled to get into MCO at 9:00am and I'm using the DCL transfer. My PAT is 11:30, the earliest I could select when checking in. What time, realistically, do you think I'll actually board?

Boarding the ship will begin at approximately 11:30-11:45, give or take a little, whenever they are ready for new guests.

If you arrive at 11:30, by the time you finish at the check-in counter you should be able to walk right on board or be very close to it. The waiting line will move quickly once it gets going and they call the boarding #'s.

Have a wonderful cruise.

I would say 11.45 to noon embarkation.
