Thanks Karen and Joanna! I just didn't want to pull a faux pas right off the bat, and get into some sort of line I'm not entitled to! I really hope they don't limit the early embarkation. The last time that happened to us, we weren't allowed to board until after 1:30...and it was a nightmare. The safety drill scheduled at 4:30 was delayed 3 times (but we were forced to stay up on deck the entire time, just in case) because so many passengers were still stuck in the embarkation process. Obviously, this was not Regent...but made me really cautious about late embarkations for future cruises.
