    My husband and I are cruising on the Magic to the Bahamas in 3 weeks. Can you board the ship at anytime that it is docked at port?

    Hello Shaun,

    Thanks for writing to us!  How exciting that your magical voyage is only a few weeks away.  On most sailings, the terminal opens at approximately 11 AM.  However, your family's actual boarding time depends on a number of factors.  First, I recommend arriving at the terminal at or slightly before your designated Port Arrival Time.  The Cast Member who checks you in at the terminal will then assign you a "Boarding Group."  Announcements will notify passengers when they can board based on this group number.  After an honorary "Family of the Day" is announced and welcomed on board, Platinum Castaway Club members and Concierge-level passengers will board in Boarding Group 1.  Following this, numbers will be called and when you hear yours, you are welcome to board.  You can board any time after your boarding group is called as well.

    Have a wonderful voyage!
