Pre-cruise package/advanced check-in at Marriott Wakiki

Is it worth staying at the Marriott Wakiki with Norwegian's pre-cruise package in order to get the advanced check-in/expedited boarding? I hear the hotel is very nice, but does this perk and the hotel itself make the pre-cruise package really a special deal. How long does it take to get onboard in Honolulu if you do it without the advanced package? Thanks.
