Creator's Key Takeaways

I was on the Panorama in uh late September early October and uh yeah last time I was on here was August 11th on the radiance

I'm a platinum guest so I'll go over into the priority line over here

I got here my appointment time was 10:30 to 11: it's 10:36 right now I got here I think just a little before 10:30 and uh first thing I noticed zero line

I dropped my bags off with the porters that's optional that question comes up a lot uh you don't have to drop off your bags it's just more convenient

Creator's Tips & Advice

Have your boarding pass and passport ready and handy for check-in.
Drop your bags off with the porters for convenience, especially if you are not a platinum, diamond, or suite guest.
If you have mobility issues, use the elevator or escalator; otherwise, be prepared for long ramps.
Platinum, diamond, suite, or Faster to the Fun guests should drop their bags off and leave the cabin area immediately.
