Default In Case You Did Not Know***

According to a newsletter from Vacations To Go that I received today:

Cruise passengers departing from US ports are now required to check in at
least 90 minutes prior to their ship's scheduled departure time and anyone
arriving later will likely be denied boarding. That's because cruise lines
must submit the passenger manifest to the Department of Homeland Security
for review at least 60 minutes prior to departure.

If you are flying to your departure port, consider the possibility of flight
delays. Try to avoid booking the last flight that will make the scheduled
departure time and if you are flying a long distance, consider arriving a
day in advance. If you drive to your departure port, plan for rush hour,
accidents or other situations that may snarl traffic on the way to the pier.

To be on the safe side, plan to arrive at the cruise pier no later than two
full hours prior to the ship's scheduled departure time.

watching the water.

Esepcially when driving, I view anything after noon as being too late.
I know some who would probably put that back even more, but I find if I
get there around noon I can get checked in, grab a bite, and then get
into my room so I don't have to lug the carryons around.

Not exactly correct. If you do the online registration, the line has
all of your information (citizenship and such). You only need to
check in 30 minutes prior to sailing.
