From September 2 onwards, Disney Wish and Disney Magic passengers must be onboard by 3 p.m., an hour earlier than the original 4 p.m. schedule. Guests who arrive at the port later than 3 p.m. will not be allowed onboard. The cruise line will communicate the new time to the guests of the two vessels.
The announcement reads, “The All Aboard time for your sailing has recently changed from 4:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. All Guests must be onboard by 3:00 p.m. Guests arriving after 3:00 p.m. or without proper citizenship documentation will be denied boarding.”
DCL mentioned that the modification will give passengers an extra hour onboard. “We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause. It is our hope that Guests will enjoy getting their sailing underway an hour earlier,” it states.

Cruisers must still specify their port arrival times during online check-in and arrive on schedule for seamless embarkation.
If you’re taking a flight to reach a Florida port, Disney recommends checking your flight time, estimated arrival time, and the cruise line’s flight-time guidelines so you have enough time to check in and board the vessel.
