    GREAT VIDEO...... 2 questions come to mind after watching this 1.) how did you know where your Mustar Station was when enetering the boat? Secondly we have the Penthouse Suite on the Majectic so we are supposed to have special boarding how does that work?

      Thanks for watching! The app will show you where to go once on board. It can even direct you to it! Crew are happy to help as well. We've cruised enough with Princess that we tend to know where to go but the app is amazing for giving directions to places. For priority boarding, they will direct you once on board. It most likely is with the Platinum and Elite boarding group so look out for those signs. There should be signage saying Suite Guests. Have a great time on your cruise!

      I usually try to arrive 30-60 minutes before then. Often you can get through security and check in before then. You then just wait in the lounge (which can be very busy) but it's so worth it to get on the ship as soon as they start letting people on.

      Boarding usually starts around noon but I prefer to arrive around 9-10 am because then I can get through security and everything and then just wait in the lounge. Worse case I've had to wait outside for an hour but I'd much rather be waiting at the port than at my hotel. Our next couple cruises we are using the cruise line transfers so we don't really have a choice at what time we arrive.

      Why? I will never get off the ship without it. If you miss the ship, you get injured, etc. you need your passport. I always have mine in a secure wearable money pouch.
