CruiseMagic Posted January 20, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2005 We would like to get on the Triumph as early as possible. The Carnival book shows embarkation as 1:30 p.m. Is this true or do they usually begin boarding earlier? What time does the terminal in port open? Should we plan on arriving as soon as it opens. What services will be available when we get on the ship -- we are hoping to have a light breakfast, get to the port and onto the ship and have some lunch. Any advice for a smooth process getting on the ship will very much be appreciated!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miclane001 Posted January 20, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I got there around 11:00 and was on board by about noon. They allow boarding to start as soon as all the disembarking passengers have cleared out and the ship is ready for the new passengers. In my experience, that's around 12:00 if everything goes according to schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tef43 Posted January 20, 2005 #3 Share Posted January 20, 2005 *IF* all goes well with the previous debarkation, boarding usually commences around noon. Be forewarned that your cabin *might* not yet be available to you if you board that early. Be prepared to schlep your carryon luggage with you to the lido buffet.

jclinard Posted January 20, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2005 When I boarded on October 2nd, the key was to show up early at the pier, then patiently wait. They boarded about noon. Of course, if they have issues (customs, coast guard, etc.) they will board later . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
