Cruise - online check in - time?

[Twiggy1953]

Can someone in the know tell me what is the opening time on your on line check in day. We're after the earliest PAT time possible and it's our first cruise so want the make the most of the 3 days. Thanks.

Yep opens at 12am EST so 5am UK time. Depending on how much you really want an early PAT depends on whether you want to get up that early or not. The other thing to think about is if you want a Cabana at Castaway as these seem to disappear quickly (Im gold and even logging in at 5am I've never been able to see one let alone book one on there)

Well we're actually going Concierge, purely because we needed the only wheelchair accessible cabana - which thankfully we managed to get. However we are travelling with friends who are not concierge so they haven't got to do their check in yet. But we obviously want to travel together so hence my question. I haven't told them yet what time they will need to get up on check in day 😎

lol break it to them gently!

I think conceirge get priority boarding from what I remember so basically if you want to board together you'd have to wait for whatever time they get when they check in so I would suggest they need to get up and get the earliest time they can.

Sorry to sound dim but what is PAT? Just looking into doing a 3 day cruise next time we go, possibly october 2018 and trying to get all the info, thanks.

Port Arrival time. The earlier you get, the earlier you can get on the ship.

Oh right, i presume that's to stagger arrivals? It just says 3.45pm on the disney cruise website, so I that must be the latest time to all boarded then? makes sense to stagger it.
