Creator's Key Takeaways

Embarcation Day isn't about beating the crowds. It's about avoiding the confusion and wasted time.

First, you're going to want to know when the boarding rush happens. So, you can get to the port early.

Next, you want to have your passport, your medallion, and any boarding documents ready to go.

Fifth, the Piaza elevators are going to be the busiest. So, look for those elevators that are either all the way forward to the ship or even aft.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get to the port early to avoid boarding rush or arrive closer to 12 or 12:30 to avoid lines.
Have your passport, medallion, and boarding documents ready before reaching the counter.
Ask crew members for directions and look at the ship map ahead of time to avoid lines.
Pack your patience and stay relaxed as lines will go back quickly if you're prepared.
Avoid the busiest Piaza elevators by using those forward or aft, and skip the buffet if cabins aren't ready.
