CRUISING FOR THE WEEKEND
Posted on Sun, Jun. 01, 2008
Don't tarry. Thanks to new Homeland Security regulations, passengers must be on board 90 minutes prior to sailing.
More tips: • Speed up the boarding process by submitting your passport number and other information online in advance.
• Want spa appointments or a seat in a reservations-only restaurant? Board early and go directly to the desk for each.
• The busiest boarding time is 12-1 p.m., say local travel agents. Go slightly later to avoid the rush.
• Travel lightly. If you carry your own bags off the ship, most lines will let you disembark first thing on Monday.
